...And I just melted!

What's the most romantic thing that's ever been done/that you've ever done in your life? This can include, but is not limited to, Valentines, Christmas, proposals, weddings, yadda, yadda, yadda :p. You get the pic.

Nobody's ever done anything romantic for me... :(

The only times I've had flowers have been when my exes apologised for behaving badly or after I broke up. I've never had a valentines card. Never had a special present or surprise. Both exes forgot my birthday religiously and couldn't care less about v-day. Especially sore when I make a big effort to do romantic things for them.

I got a bunch of flowers and chocolates delievered to my door anonymously a few months back. I was enjoying the romantic gesture and munching on the chocs when I discovered that the delivery guy had gotten the address wrong and they were actually for my neighbour. :eek:

I know that I've been the inspiration of some songs that 'my man' has written, but I've never heard them.

Why? Why?? I'm 26 years old, it's high time someone does something romantic to me!

well i didn't get romantic stuff till I got my husband... and he's my third...

he's way more romantic than I am.

I once got a box of chocolate covered cherries (the good kind!) from a little boy I watched when I was a nursery asst. He looked up at me and said in the sweetest voice..."These are for you teacher!" That made my valentines day! :D

I also got a dozen red roses sent to me that year...the card only said..."Happy Valentine's Day!" I spent the day trying to figure out who had sent them to me!

But the MOST romantic thing to date...has to be when Alec told me the other day...that I was the most important thing that had ever happened in his life. *swoon*

Well, I was 29 before anyone did anything romantic for me. So, there's hope still. Most romantic thing has to be when my BF took me to Quebec City for our "first date" for the weekend. He was there on a conference while I was away in Ontario. It was amazing....he met me at the airport with roses and he'd brought candles and chocolate with him. He's so sweet :D .

oh there are a million tiny little things that Shane does that just make me melt. Once we were at school, and I was helping him analyze troop ship records from World War One. I'm happy as can be going through the primary documents and he just looks at me and says "words can't express my appriciation for you!"
Another time we were walking to the car and he just stops, brushes my hair out of my eyes and just cups his hands around my face and says "I thank God everyday for bring you into my life" (this is comming from a guy who SERIOUSLY considered the priesthood!!)
And my last and probably most romantic, was after finals last semester he took me to one of my favorite restaurants, in the middle of the conversation he blerts out, completely out of nowhere and says "I hope our kids have your smile". ( I just about died!!!)
This is also the same guy who walked all over Washington DC to find me a decent pint of Guinness (cause American's just can't do it!) and keeps trying to teach the bartenders at our favorite bar how to pour a proper pint (pour half, let it settle, it's really an art!!).
On our trip to DC last October, he took me to Les Miserables (my favorite musical) at the National theater
On our last day in DC, when there was still a lot of work to do in the National Archives, he gave up his ENTIRE day, and took me to Arlington Cemetery to find my greatgrandfather's headstone.
This is the guy who drove an hour out of his way to find a British store on the hope of getting some Black Currant Jam (I fell in LOVE with that stuff in England!!). We were in wine country a couple of weeks ago and I had asked him why he didn't sleep well, and he said that I was snoring directly in his ear, when I said "why didn't you push me, or roll me over or move?" he said "you were so peacefull and happy".
It's the little million things that he does (oftentimes on a daily basis) that are just so romantic!!
Now why can't I just get him to understand that HE is the best thing that ever happened to me!! (he's having issues with the age difference, and questions if it's fair for me)

he moved 4000 miles to be with me...

Well, I was 29 before anyone did anything romantic for me. So, there's hope still.

Whew, I thought I was the only one... I will admit, 'the object of my unvolunteered love' has sent me many sweet text messages, but I feel it doesn't really count, in a way.

Sometimes Litical brings me flowers. Sometimes I bring him flowers. LOL. Anything exceedingly romantic? Not really. I've yet to be swept off my feet with any incredibly romantic gesture... but I hold out hopes that if anyone CAN do it, Litical's the one who will.

LOL you poor thing! :D

I'm like Chikygrl13. For me, it's all the little stuff Hubby does that makes me swoon. Like he always cooks me dinner exactly the way I like it, or he'll make me my favorite dishes without me even requesting them. Somehow he just knows what I happen to be craving and makes it on his own. And I do get mushy cards on my birthday, Xmas, and V-day. He also sends me mushy emails throughout the day. Whenever we travel, he will always go out to a payphone while I'm still sleeping or in the shower or whatever and leave a mushy voicemail on my home cellphone, because he knows I get depressed coming back from a trip so the voicemail is supposed to cheer me up. All this and so many other things that I can't even begin to count. I knew I had a good reason for marrying that boy! :D

My OM does alot of the little everday things and brings me flowers sometimes. As far as big romantic things, he arranged a candlelight dinner on the beach for just the two of us after our wedding. It was so sweet, and he was so excited to be able to surprise me with something really nice. I love that man!

:eek: My bad. My VERY bad.

He calls me DAILY just to say "I love you." Sometimes texts me, too. ALWAYS kisses me before he leaves for work. And ALWAYS showers when he gets home, so we can kiss and cuddle and sit together.

And he almost always cooks. Not because I suck at it or anything, but because he enjoys it and is his way of contributing to the household.

I don't know why I didn't think of those things as romantic the first time around, but they sure are!

I totally take for granted all the wonderful things my boyfriend does.

He is so absolutely loving, and yet my initial response to this thread was going to be "romance? whats that?"

He holds me every night.

He puts up with my grumpiness and me not cleaning house as often as I should.

He calls me at work just to say he loves me. He makes up dumb nicknames for me like "Katie-Lovey-Dovey-Dew-Drop" (that was it this morning. OK GUYS, my name is Kate and I never ever said that on a board before).

He will occasionally get flowers.

when I am tired, he will nap with me.

etc etc etc

This past birthday of mine...I woke up in the morning, and was getting ready for class, and I walked out into the kitchen, and there was a dozen roses and a card on the counter. I was so suprised because my boyfriend had told me that he was going to get me roses later that night. He had actually been keeping them on top of the washing machine..and I never saw them. I was genuinely suprised and it was awesome.

I know! Me too. :p

Flowers are nice but a man who makes sure that the fridge is always stocked with your favorite goodies AND cooks all your favorite meals AND watches all your silly chick-flick/WB11 teen dramas with you? Now THAT'S my kind of romance. :D

P.S. I forgot to say he kills bugs too. ;)

For an early Valentine's Day present Shane is taking me to see Mamma Mia!
(it's playing this weekend near our house). Now this is a guy who HATES musicals, but he knows how much I have been wanting to see this show!!!
If that's not romance I don't know what is?
We are also talking about the possibility of another trip up to wine country later this month, but it depends on school, work and finances.
