No one should take relationships for granted. You either stay in or get out. It takes time for your significant other to become more attracted to you by conversation and engagement in the same interest. I first knew how much time it takes after last summer. Thanks to cute text messages and FaceTime, we made our long-distance relationship work- twice. Why twice? We've been together for 18 months (a year and a half) and survived a second summer with 100 miles between us. We love to talk, and I would like share 18 romantic quotes to pass along to anybody wanting their better half to smile and laugh with you:

1. "You can lower your angle below 90 degrees if you want because you're so 'acute.'"

Math jokes like that shows wit and knowledge as attractive qualities.

2. "Don't make me tickle you back."

It gets your partner laughing and daring to fight back those playful fingers.

3. "You don't have to do all of the cooking. We'll cook together."

My girlfriend and I have cooked spaghetti together. Once in a while, I cook mashed potatoes for both of us.

4. "We could listen to the same music forever."

I created a love song playlist for us which has a total of 42 songs. One of my previous articles is a short version of it.

5. "I'll do what ever you want to do."

...said many other couples out there.

6. "I have so much to say, but every kiss makes me more speechless."

Only be aware of public display of affection. Find a private spot to be "speechless."

7. "I never thought leaning my head sideways would make you more beautiful."

That's when stares are the most comforting.

8. "Let me sing a cover love song for you."

Whether you play an instrument or not, your partner would just want to hear you sing.

9. "Are you wearing lipstick or 'lust-stick?'"

Another joke, who knew?

10. "I'll never forget your polka dot dresses."

Some romantics don't forget what their partners have worn on the first date.

11. "You put me on speed dial, and I'm at your service."

12. "My glasses might shine, but your eyes alone sparkle."

That's what you say to make beautiful eyes sound less cliche.

13. "I didn't know heaven had a salon because your hair is so soft."

In other words, your partner's an angel.

14. "Let's take up a duet at karaoke."

It brings up a good idea for a date night.

15. "I'll massage your head away the mindful pain."

It could be helpful for anyone else who gets migraines.

16. "I may act cool, but my heart is on fire."

Or just "I love you" if you want to sound less corny.

17. "This might not be a fairy tale, but I'll gallop any horse or slay any dragon to see you."

It goes without say that you became somebody's knight in shining armor.

18. "If all I ever want is to think of you, I'll just put that George Strait song on repeat."

You must be in love when you get "I Cross My Heart" stuck in your head.
