What is the most romantic thing you have done or had done for you?

My bloke bought some flowers from interflora for me - this may not seem much to some of you but from him it was special, it was for no reason that he did this. My ex use to get me flowers all the time and it meant nothing especially since they were from the garage as he was getting petrol in the company car!!!:suspect:

I dreamt that my bloke had tatooed my name on his willy, I was flattered but worried cos it was a strange thing to do, then he wiped it off saying it was felt tip, I was surprised to feel dissappointed. I do stress this was a dream!!!

My friend told me that one night her hubby suggested an early night, as she was layed in bed, facing the window he stood at the side of her leaning out of the window smoking, he then farted and experienced follow through :gag: He still then expected to go ahead with a bit of passion :loopy:

Are there any people out there who after years of being with the same people still experience romance?

i dont think its dead, but i think sometimes daft birds expect it all to be great shows of affection and the like and they need to get their head out of the clouds, stop believing hollywood crap and accept that a quicky is normally best

my gf Elizabeth once dreamt that id tatooed her name on my willy. when she woke up it was a dream, i did tatoo her name but had to shorten it to Liz

:hihi: :hihi: Poor Liz!

I agree that some people expect life to be like a Mills and Boon Book I know a few people both male and female who are waitng to find there so called perfect partner and have set unrealistic standrads.

A romantic gesture can be as simple as breakfast in bed if that is something you don't often do.

I saw some lovely cabbages in the market recently and some dusters at half price.
I bought a cabbage and the dusters , thinking it would be a nice surprise for the wife 's birthday.....but all she did was sniff and say , "Oh thanks a lot ," in a very nasty manner.
Sometimes you try a bit of romance and women just throw it in your face.

My father-in-law bought his new wife a vacuum cleaner!!! Not sure how long that marriage will last :confused:

At least she could make a Clean Break :hihi:

First weekend away with my partner we went to Bowness, in the Lake District, whilst browsing the shops I saw a lovely antique style clock and passed comment on it.
We only saw each other at weekends, he lived in Preston, I lived in Sheffield, so imagine my surprise when I went to visit him the following wk/end in Preston.
He'd only driven back to Bowness during the week to buy the clock for me, bless him, I thought that was such a thoughtful thing to do.
I was made redundant last year and felt really low about it but it wasn't a weekend that I was due to see my partner. I was feeling low and lonely, kids were off to the ex's for the weekend, but on the Saturday morning he sent me a text to say he was on his lunch hour so I wasn't to worry but he wouldn't be available for a while. Three hours later he turned up on my doorstep, he'd booked the day off work and driven up to see me unannounced just because "he didn't like to think of me feeling low all on my own".
Bless him.

Ahh. I was in a similar situation I use to travel to Kent to see my bloke and he would drive up to see me. A long three hour drive for over four years for both of us to get together is quite romantic in itself because you have got to have something pretty strong to go to that effort.

At last he moved up properly about six months ago. :clap:

21steve... that sounds like a romantic gesture... although i had to put up with my boyfriend having some other girls name tatooed all over him (well 2 or 3 places). I say put up with because i don't go out with him any more.. to be honest one of the reasons was the tatooes.. one was over his wedding finger , so i would never have married him!! Come to think of it he once bought me 12 red roses... on my credit card!!! Ugh 5 yrs down the drain there i feel lol

I have no one to be romantic to but I'm certainly an old romantic. I'd rather spend my free money on someone else than me:confused:

Don't know about romance, but your friends Husband needs a lesson in Manners, I know everyone breaks wind at sometime but surely there are basic standards of behavior that we all should adhere to, especially in the presence of a Lady, even one's wife, to me, that man is dead ignorant and shows no respect for his wife at all !!!Don't know about romance, but your friends Husband needs a lesson in Manners, I know everyone breaks wind at sometime but surely there are basic standards of behavior that we all should adhere to, especially in the presence of a Lady, even one's wife, to me, that man is dead ignorant and shows no respect for his wife at all !!! - Red

On my way to work I see romance all the time, with people holding hands and laughing together.

One of my managers has flowers delivered to work from her husband because he misses her when they are apart.

Nice, to be reminded.

Romance is definitely alive. I think it should be a twoway thing though, it is lovely to do something romantic for your man (if he deserves it!) Obviously its a bit silly buying him flowers, but taking him out is nice. Occasionally I will buy my partner a book or game he has wanted for a while, or send him a card.

I find it really romantic when he comes to pick me up from work/being out with my friends when its dark. However, he could buy flowers more often *NUDGE COUGH NUDGE* ;)

is romance dead or alive ?
well my husband said that he was giong to spoil me with some entertainment and something to eat and to my surprise he took us to see Iron maiden his favourite band and the something to eat was a hotdog after, whats wrong with that you may ask? well im in to simply red never been or wanted to go to a rock concert , and this was my birthday present as if!
bless him.:gag:

My husband is wonderfully romantic. He constantly suprises me with beautiful romantic gestures.

He is incredibly thoughtful and I love him more than anything in the world

He has done all sorts from taking a day off work to paint my bedroom for me when I was at work (when we were still just dating) to recently setting up a webcam for when the kittens are born so i can see them when Im at work.

Not hearts and flowers but incredibly thoughtful and loving.

I'm a bit of a cynic so I have to say that romance is dead. If a man buys you flowers it usually means they are guilty of something. Men want sex not romance like us ladies.

When you stop thinking about romance as all hearts and flowers, you realise that it's well and truly alive...

I've been with my boyf nearly a year and while he has bought me flowers and chocs once (along with a beautiful white gold bracelet for my birthday), this occasion only springs to mind further down a list of other less typical 'romantic' but more meaningful moments.

Like how he sets aside time on his weekends to come and help me with my grocery shopping because he knows I struggle to carry it back to my flat on my own.

Or when I left work early one day because I was sick and, having txt him to say I was going home, got there to discover him waiting at my flat to make sure I got home OK.

When I was working at a hotel down South he would come and visit me and at the end of the weekend leave lil notes in my room for me to find later.

It's stuff like that that is remembered. My boyf is only 20 but his dad (a perfect gentleman) has made sure he knows how to treat a lady :)

Have to agree with Kathythebean

Megabitch, I too bought tickets to see Iron Maiden at the arena in 2003 as a surprise for my bloke, we had a cracking night, straight onto Noose & Gibbet after and stumbling home. :thumbsup:

When it was his birthday, I sent him a pot plant via Interflora, he'd never had flowers or owt like it before but he was so touched that I'd thought to do that for him and the plant still lives on 2 years later :thumbsup:

My bloke doesn't really do romantic things like romantic picnics or send me flowers, but he always says romantic things that make me feel loved. He did try though, bless him. I was working in Pontefract for a few months and came back to Sheffield at the weekend to see my boyfriend. One week he decided to suprise me by coming to Pontefract so i didn't have to come all the way back on the train. I had been offered a lift ferom one of our stock takers who was passing through Sheffield and thought i would surprise him by coming back earlier than i would have on the train. I put my bag with my phone in it in the boot. When i got to Sheffield i pulled out my phone to ring him and i had lots of missed calles from my work. I rang them back to see what was the matter and they told me that my boyfriend had turned up 10 mins after i had left. I quickly jumped on the train and was going to catch him at the Wakefield train station as his phone was off and my boss had told me that he had gone for the train to Wakefield to come back to Sheffield. I got to Wakefield train station and waited for the Pontefract to Wakefield train and when it came he wasn't there! He rang me from a phone box in Sheffield and asked where i was and said that i was in Wakefield, so he waited at the train station in Sheffield for me to come back. I ended up seeing him later than if i had come on the train in the first place and we had wasted money on all our train fares! Bless him though, it is still one of the most romantic things for me.
