Okay, I am not very creative with the whole romance department thing doing sweet things for my girlfriend/fiancee but she did a really wonderful thing for me once that I'd love to share. One night around midnight she told me she wanted to take me somewhere special but for it to work I had to get blindfolded and trust her. She packed the car and blindfolded me then helped me into the car. We drove for awhile and I was in such anticipation not knowing where we were going or what was going to happen. Finally we pulled in somewhere and she told me I had to stay in the car while she took care of something. I sat in the passenger side dieing of anticipation when finally she knocked on the door and helped me step out. I couldn't really figure out where we were since I was visiting her in Florida and knew nothing about the place basically. She guided me on concrete and grass finally stopping me in the middle of hat I had thought was a field. I saw flames from the bottom of my blindfold and was curious what was going on. When she took the blindfold off of me I was standing infront of a blanket that was outlined with candles and a cd player of hers in one cornern with champaign, glasses and strawberries. She invited me to sit on the blanket with her facing the water the spot overlooked. She'd made a cd of songs that reminded her of me and as they played in the background we sipped champaign and ate strawberries cuddling infront of the water. I thought I had died and gone to heaven because in that time while we were there it seemed like only the two of us existed where we were. It was the most romantic thing for me. And now we're engaged whoo hoo!!! Anyway, just thought I'd share.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me

So won't you kill me, so I die happy

[WillowTara4Lyfe]

I just wanted to show you how special you are to me. I love you with all my heart and soul. That night I wanted you to feel the way you make me feel everyday. Every day with you is pure magic.



I can't wait to plan more nights like that for the two of us.



I love you!!!

[Tempest Duer]

You two are soooo cute! That is such a sweet thing to do! *makes a note of it in little spiralbound notebook*

I'm more of a spaz when it comes to the romantic stuff...I tend to get all nervous and ramble and ever get a little sick to my tummy, too. My gf thinks it cute though.



On our first date...some odd six years ago I took her out to dinner, bought her a rose, and wrote her a little note telling her that I really really liked her and I think I kinda loved her. Luckily for me she felt the same. So in November of last year I bought her an engagement ring....how I kept it a secret until this past month is beyond me. I took her out to dinner and a nice little resteraunt and then we went to visit an old friend at work. While she was in talking I went to my car to prepare. I had bought one of those Build-A-Bears, a cute little orange one named Harvest, and I had made a small necklace for the bear--the beads reading "Will You Marry Me", it was kinda corny but I thought it was fun. So then when we were ready to leave I followed behind her opening the car door. She sees the little bear and smiles, it had a little red rose attached to his hand, then she reads the necklace...at first not registering it, finally I tell her to read it again. Then when she turned I had the box open with the Ring and she just froze. I actually belive she said "What the F*#@% is that?" anyhow she said yes after a million "Oh my Gods"

She's my girl, she's my everything.

Well.....she's not my girlfriend....just someone I really am attracted to.



Her name is Kelly and I thank Goddess that this happened. She likes W/T, I do too, she thinks Aly Hannigan is drop-dead gorgeous, so do I. She loves Linkin Park, so do I. She's gay, so am I. She's into theater, so am I. *ends ramble* Ok....but anyway...we were doing the fall play and i really wanted to take her to the homecoming dance, but i was too big of a chicken to ask so i had a friend do it. He royaly f****d it up. Then at the last night of the play i tapped her shoulder and gave a weak smile and said "Remember when Timmy asked you if you'd go to the dance with that frosh girl ? .......well....it was me he was talking about. She smiled back and gave me a big ol' bear hug. Then later on I gave her a linkin park patch and she nearly tackled me in the hall. Then the most recent thing I did, I gave her anad her girlfriend those Kiss-Kiss Reindeer for Christmas. Oh, and I gave her ALL of my BtVS magazines........the things I don't do for love huh ? I kinda want those mags back now......

I'm not big with the mushy romantic stuff, or atleast i wasn't until i met my now ex-girlfriend who was always telling me she preferred well thought out gifts with meaning rather than randomnly store-bought stuff. anywho, the most recent action of romantic attempt was her yule gift: a small turtle made out of rose quartz with a wooden base (she LOOOOOOVES turtles), a painting (that i painted) where the background was a beach (the same background as her favorite picture of her and her father, who died when she was really young) and the foreground was a chair with his brown leather jacket (which is regarded as immensely delicate) on the back and his camera (he was a photographer) on the seat of the chair, the last part of the gift was a cd that i mixed and did the cover art for, bunch of scenario drawings, comic book style of me and her.

i think that a lot of the most romantic things are just taking care of people. . . so, last week - new year's eve, actually, since we were spending the night at home - i drew a bath for the kid i love, with bubbles and floating candles (they were stars with hearts in the middle, which is fabulous becuase we love stars). i scrubbed them and washed their hair and it was lovely. . .



i also get an amazing contentment out of helping them and making their life easier - we just moved them into a new apartment and while i was there waiting for the last load of stuff to come in, i scrubbed down the (grody) kitchen. . . i hate cleaning my own house, but being able to do it for them and know that it will make their life easier is wonderful. (smile) part of setting up the kitchen was putting the magnetic poetry on the fridge, so i wrote them poems while i was doing that. it was fun, and a really productive way to spend the time.

the only slightly romantic thing i've done was hang out with my ex and she rested her head on my shoulder and i rested my head on her. yeah i haven't been very far...

[TWgirl]

Well Valentine's day is coming up soon and I have a romantic day planned for my g/f. First I am going to get her to get out of her apartment for awhile. Her roommate is going to help me. we are going to go buy some wine and then buy roses . i am going to make him help me pluck all the petals off and i am going to make a path from the door to her bedroom. i am even going to sprinkle a few on the bed itself. then I am going to buy candles and put then around her room. her roommate, since i cant really cook, is going to help me cook her dinner. then i am going to kick him out for awhile. and i guess i will see what happens. so what do you guys think. romantic???

[wolfwynd]

Okay, Okay, Alice, happy now? Alice should be the one writing it up here seeing as it was her most romantic thing to me but hey **shrugs** I guess I'll do it I haven't a clue what to say tho...



Well it was New Years Eve and we'd booked a hotel room to make it special, and to make sure we were alone Well we got there, and Alice decided to lock me in the bathroom for 10 mins **giggles** so I sat in there twiddling my thumbs for a bit til she knocked on the door, opened it, thrust a piece of orange paper into my hands and told me to read it. She had writeen "I love you more" on it 219 times - one for each day we'd been together up until that point.



She covered up my eyes and told me to walk into the other room. I did as I was told and when I opened them she had put candles everywhere, put some music on and put rose petals on the bed



Who said romance was dead...? She'll just have to wait for Valentines



Love you Alice, forever and a day



Yours always

I've done some romatic things for my Gf, but I would also like to share what she did for me once, which was really special. It was my Birthday and we went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner, I thought that the dinner and a book she had given me were my presents, but she surprised me. After a little while all my friends started to show up and it was really cool cause I hadn't had bd party in very long time, but that wasn't all,she signaled the hostess and she presented me a bottle of my favorite french wine and that still wasn't all. I had my back turned to the main entrance and suddenly out of no where this amazing violin music starts playing and when I turned I saw that it was just for me. She hired a violin player to serenade me! I was in awe, it was something that I totally didn't expect. I had to hold my tears cause it was all just too much. Ah where the heck did all that love go I wonder?

Awww this is such a cute, cool thread! Long live love and Romance!

Awwww, these storeies are all so nice!



It seems kinda small, but the gesture to me was more romantic than anything. My honey is in the navy, and I ended up having that nasty influenza A flu this past christmas. I didn't go to my family's b/c there were kids there and stuff, so I had to spend Xmas by myself at home. ANyway, my honey called me on Christmas Day and we talked for hours. Not even my family called me. it was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done. Awwwwww.

[ichi chan]

I love the idea of this thread, with me having nothing to share but, being a hopeless romantic, I love the read ot. It's all so sweet!

Every once in awhile I have finger foods fixed for my mate for when she comes home from work. After we eat a little I take her to the bedroom. I prepare the bedroom before hand with candles and an aromatherapy defuser. I also have a hot bath (sometimes with bubbles) waiting in the bathroom, again with candles. In the bedroom I'd have the bedsheets stripped down off the bed and a towel laid out. I give her a full body massage to relax her from her day of work. (I use massage oil's that I make myself with essential oils.) I take my time about it... so it can take an hour or more to actually finish that up. I let her rest a bit then I take her to the bathroom and give her a goats milk bath.



*shrug* not sure if that would be considered romantic or just pampering my mate... but that's what I do.

look I've got a nice present planned. my girlfriend is 18 now and I hope we'll still be together for long time so I planned this while sleeping some days ago.
she'd provably move to my city the next year, though I’m not 100% sure I’ve planned to surprise her painting her room as a present for her 20th birthday. I'll ask one of my sisters to keep her far from her flat during a weekend and with some help from my other 2 sisters I’ll paint the ceiling in the bedroom. I’m not sure about the walls, but the ceiling will be completely black, with white dots pretending to be stars (I'm not very talented as a painter, so I hope she'll be pleased with the idea, and not the results ) one of the stars will be red, as the sheets I'll buy her. I was thinking of any way to get the room filled with fog but it's difficult. However imagine the beauty of the present! I'd walk her to her bedroom but she won't see anything, knowing her she'll love being surrounded by fog in her own bedroom so we’ll have some precious hours of lovemaking and then, while sharing our love, she’ll see the present as the fog fades away disappearing through the window that won’t be completely closed. I guess she’ll love the new ceiling and I’ll tell her that my present is that red star on it. Our star.
isn't it romantic? If anyone likes the idea and wants to use it in anyway....it's up to you.!

That's beautiful kivrin, she's a lucky lady.

Some of the most romantic things I do are the simplest. She thinks its romantic when I: smile at her everytime she enters the room, hug her whenever she's in hugging range, kiss her when she's in the mood.

But hands down, the romantic thing I've gotten the most positive feedback on is poetry I've written about her. I'm one of those editing fiends, so I'll only come out with a poem once a month or so.

Other romantic things: night at the opera with a french restaurant as a starter, movies (can't go wrong, unless your SignificantOther hates 'em), piano bar, get your SO and your friends together for a nice outing, take your SO on a nice drive in the country, take your SO to your bed and instead of doing a horizontal polka, take the time out to kiss, cuddle and talk for at least an hour.

Romance tends to be, unfortunately, less about what you think is romantic and more about what your SO thinks is romantic. The most unfortunate part of this plan is that many guys and girls don't think its romantic to be asked "What do you think is romantic?" Oh, well. Just something else to be endured in the quest for love.

I've been in love with a girl for the longest time, but we are not together, never been. however, she knows how i feel about her. i decided to show her anyway the true extent of my feelings (that was....almost a year ago), besides the numerous letters and poems i used to write to her. so i made her an album to show her how i saw her. i put pictures in it, pictures only of her, songs that reminded me of her or said what i wanted to say, poems and letters that she hadn't read before, little drawings of elves (i used to call her my Queen of Elves, since she has a bit of pointy ears), and hoping to convey the message that i found her beautiful, sexy, adorable whatever she was doing, and that i loved her so much. i spent a lot of time to find the perfect album, and 2 weeks to complete it. then i bought a wooden box, i decorated it glueing dry flowers on it, and i put the album on it. want to know what she said? "i think you're obsessed"

so much for romance....but still, i loved that album, i loved doing it and i still think it's beautiful, if not exceptionally appreciated. the thought was there. what more can ya do? actually, thinking about it, i should have done less. but... *shrugs*

For me the most romantic thing was about 6 months after I had met this rather quirky Canadian girl at college and we started dating, she and I took a trip to China thanks to her mum and dad helping us out. I was born in England but have Chinese origins.

Anyway we spent three weeks in China exploring and I got to see where my family came from. On our last full day there Rachel took me out for a walk around Yu Yuan Gardens in Shanghai. We found a place to sit and she told me for the first time that she really was in love with me, I remember crying with happiness at some of the words she used. I told her I wanted to be hers and i loved her too.

That evening we went for a very romantic meal together at a beautiful resturant and then retired to our hotel. I just remember saying to her in the morning that I knew she was the girl i wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
