    The little things?
    Those are major efforts! Every day? I would love to do them but I have a day job. ;)

    Make sure you bring some mosquito repellent or at least one of those mosquito repelling torches or candles. Nothing spoils a romantic mood like mosquitos, especially when they gain access to parts of you that are normally covered. :eek:

    some things I like to do.

    1. playfully push her into a pool when shes not suspecting, she will think you are spontaneous.

    haha jk

    I think alot of people touched on just paying attention to her. I think picking wild flowers is nice and cheap too. Like while your walking around in a park pick her some flowers.

    shoot her a nice email just because you miss her.

    You will feel gay, but read martha stewart Living. There are some good ideas in there that don't cost much for gifts. Read the valetines days issues.

    As for the event, suprise is the key, mystery.

    -Rent out the art Gallery, the musuem, or the whatever. Picnic waiting inside.

    -bike ride to a spot that already has your picnic basket waiting for you. A basket of borrowed kittens will delight her.

    -an evening at a romatic play and dinner at intermission.

    -take her swing dancing at an old barn or something.

    -Sneak into somebody's pool (you can plan this out to take fear out for you, but not her) and make out at midnight in the pool.

    -Treat her to the spa and then dinner (weekend spa is fun)

    -Fly her to maine for lobster and a bread and breakfast.

    -Go strawberry picking and make out in an pretty field.

    -Bath her and massuese her.

    -Camp out your backyard by candlelight, or in the top of a tree.

    -Go to an outdoor play/ballet where you can sit on the lawn and picnic

    Do something that you hate to do and she loves.. I.E. take her shopping all day, cook for her, do her laundry, clean her place/ya'lls place.. you get the idea.. then act like it wasnt a big deal cause you love her so much, I like the playing it cool part..

    Do her in the pooper. You can't get more romantic than that.

    :D

    No offense, but some of those ideas up there don't sound practical in real life. Either expense, or obvious weather & insect problems (or chance of getting in trouble/ discovered/ falling out of a tree). It seems to be the way of the world. Some guys do all that stuff and the women just expect more and bargain for it. I think the only way we can really get guys to be romantic is to not care about them and ignore them. Then they will start trying. Maybe it's just all about having something to chase. :(

    She'll never mention the r-word ever again.

    You can set up a single rose with a small light source (candle, small flashlight...) behind it so that it cast a nice sharp shadow of the rose.

    Do you live together? If so get the rose a head of time and don't give it to her right away. Then lets say you two need to go the store for whatever, well when ya get in the car and are about to take off, say you got run back in for something. Then set it up, it should only take a few seconds. Also leave a little note by the rose or what ever flower you use. Set it up so that when she walks back in she sees only the shadow first. Maybe the bedroom door but that could come across like you're trying to get some.

    does any of that make sense?

    ps

    Use a candle only if you are going to be there the whole time. I know that's obvious but that's what I started to do. Then I was like CRAP and ran back in to put it out and set up a small flashlight. She wasn't going to be back for ten minutes and I wanted to come in after her with another flower. I also had mix tape of her favorite songs playing.

    There was a point in time where I tried to be romantic.

    I did the picnic thing.
    I did the Limo thing
    I did the write you a song for no reason thing
    I did numbers of things for countless women.

    Bottom line? If you want a shallow, insecure, woman (and most attractive, single, woman are...) then you have to, how should I say, (pu**y up) to her load/baggage. (And they all have it.)

    I couldn't do it. I was much better being romantic in my high school/college days. It was much easier seeing women as they truly were. Unfortunately, it gets worse.

    Attractive(ie. shallow) women get into a clique where everything that happens to them has to be better than their friends.... ad-nauseum.

    There are good women out there. I've dated several. I've just never been able to get my A_Hole-ness out of it. Plus, I'm incredibly shallow in the first-place, myself.

    Looks like I'll be here for a-while.
