Being Romantic..

This may not be in the right place but it is a personal issue for me. Im going away for a few nights with my girlfriend in a few weeks but im trying to think of ways to be romantic as possible with her. Can i have some suggestions please? I was thinking of calling the hotel and asking them to buy single rose's and spread them across the bed for me so that when we walk into the hotel bedroom she's get a nice surprise Maybe some chocolate on the bed aswell...

any ideas welcome!

The roses are a nice idea. but watch out for the thorns if they are on the bed

Candles and wine or champagne are also nice. And music too. Ask if the room has a CD player and bring some soft music. And that way the two of you can slow dance. That's wonderfuly romantic. Candles always work to set a romantic mood.

I suppose it depends on what your purpose of the weekend away is & how your gf feels - but personally chocs & roses scattered over a bed doesn't say romance to me - it says "sex please!"....

If you want to be romantic take her out to dinner, have flowers delivered to the restaurant, have a picnic on the beach, pop a bottle of bubbly under the stars, etc, etc...

Then again - maybe your gf just wants you to curl up in the hotel room all weekend - only you know what her expectations are...:)

If there is a lake close by with a path a nice stroll is good in the evening, before coming back to a roaring fire and a glass of mulled wine.

Pretty much anything you do to make her feel comfortable and at ease will work.

Even though she knows yous are going away it could be nice to send her flowers at her workplace with a card saying you can't wait to go.

After buying a jumbo pack of condoms once, I spelled out 'I LOVE YOU' on the bed for my darling girlfriend to find when she arrived home from work. She thought is was very funny but not too romantic!

Take your lady for dinner in a really nice restaurant, barrage her with compliments. Make the whole focus of everything you talk about on how she is great, looks great etc.

My own experience is the most romantic things I do are the ones that cost the least amount of money.

In general just flatter her at all possible oppotunities. My favourite Hotel was the Galway Bay Hotel, The view was super and all round setting was A1. She was putty in my hands...

*edit* Leave your mobile phones in the glove box for as long as ye are away.....

Pamper her, make her feel special and loved. A nice walk around the hotel grounds if its in a nice area, maybe a meal outside nearby and then some cuddles later.

If there's a spa in the hotel, book her and yourself in for a massage (or facial). But make sure you do it now. Don't wait till you arive at the hotel as they tend to get pretty booked up at weekends.

The flowers would impress me for sure

I must have missed the bit where the OP said the hotel was here....along with your fine suggestions.

And who says it will be raining or cold at the weekend? Surely cold weather is a great excuse for a snuggle even if it is...:)

The only way you can ever be Romantic is with your mouth and the words that come out (yes of course sometimes actions without words are amazing but I can't think of how to articulate that in a post)

Just tell her how you feel, how she makes you feel (which is why it's her on this weekend with you) and, of course, the times you have been, and will be through together.

It doesn't matter where you are or what your doing ,it's the simple pleasure of doing it together and making the most out of it that builds these memories together. So whatever happens, happens, just go with the flow of the weekend and smile , oh yes and of course keep up the compliments soldier.

Most importantly , please never , NEVER show this post to any of my mates, and enjoy the holiday.

Love,
Fionn

Think little personal things, not lavish. Give her a single rose, not several, and deliver it to her personally, not by the hotel. A candle light dinner in a quiet place? A walk hand-in-hand someplace picturesque? Row a boat for her in a lake followed by a picnic? A campfire on the beach at night? Write a poem for her from you? And never drink too much, just a glass or two, cause a drunk is never a romantic partner.
