Don’t tell me they have "chemistry." Show me the specific thing only they notice about each other. He loves the way she chews on her pen when she’s thinking. She loves the way he reads the ingredients on every package. Specificity is the engine of romance.

In real life, we fall in love through conversations at 2 AM. We fall in love with how someone listens, how they challenge us, and what they notice. Your romantic dialogue should do three things:
