    Come on chocolate cream.. there has to be some time when you were totally shocked as to how romantic the other species(lol) can be!!

    Personally its the little things that make it all worth while.. back rubs when you go to bed at night... the time he bought tickets to see Dido for us even though he hated her but knew i'd love to go... txt messages to meet me for lunch the odd time...bringing me home a tub of ben & jerrys to share that night...just because he felt like it!!

    Your right though.. any guys out there.. what do you find romantic???

    One time, my son calls a radio station and tells all that my wife died and i haven't had any sex with real girls for a long time, the little prick. So i intervened and said that it's all cool, i can handle it. Anyway, turns out lots of women felt pity for me and wanted me shag them senseless, nice one son...

    So, anyhoos, one psycho actually finds out where i live and sends me a letter. My son reads it and replies pretending to be me! ha, he is a mischievous little bollox. He tells this stalker to meet me at the top of the empire state building on valentines day and then, somehow the cnut books a flight to NYC and i have no choice but to follow him.

    Long story short, i met the stalker lady and we had a savage session one night, seriously, me mickey was in a jocker! And that was that, didn't see her again till years later, whereby i got mail, or something.

    I had left home to cross the pond, making my big play for independence at age 18. Dated a bit, but nothing serious. Valentine's Day came and I was feeling lonely for friends left behind, and out of the blue a lad from Kerry wrote me a humourous poem. It was brilliant, funny, and romantic, making my day!

    There's plenty of other threads like it, there's another current one at the moment about why your OH is so great. Plus the bad dates one is very funny in parts where women are more laughing at their experiences than they are moaning about them.

    Most people naturally moan rather than praise anyway, men and women alike. Look at the feedback threads, how many threads in there actually praise boards?

    Anyway best get back on topic.

    I'm reallllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy trying to remember

    i guess a while ago when i lost my wallet i was brought into fendi and told to pick out a nice one-that was cute! I'm trying to think of something that just romantic and not expensive.

    I found a lovely bottle of wine ages ago in o briends and was heartbroken when i went back to get more and it was finished. The guy i was seeing rang every o briens in the country and found 3 bottles in o briens in ballybrack and presented them to me a few days later-i was fairly chuffed!

    well, my fella is not one for romance really. So when he did this i was not only shocked but very pleasently surprised that he managed to organise anything by himself (really i knew nothing about it).

    While we lived in UK, he took it upon himself to organise a baby sitter for 2 days (no kids yippe thats good enough for me). Then he booked a room in a very sweet B&B in Brighton which had a private courtyard AND a HOTTUB. Oh my god, i couldnt believe it lol. Not only that but it came with a champane breakfast. I have to say that was the best romantic gesture ever.

    Can't think of a single romantic gesture... Ummmm.. Oh! A guy took me on a carriage ride of Vienna. Almost doesn't count because I had just met him and he WAS the carriage driver, but he didn't charge me for it and afterwards he took me for a drink.

    Last "boyfriend" kept sending flowers to my house, after we'd broken up. That's usually considered romantic.

    One before him was lovely, he's a poet :) he sang to me a few times and wrote me a couple of poems.

    I'm not really one for mad romantic gestures though.

    oh I've loads of examples... flowers delivered to work, songs written, whisked off to the opera one night, love letters - I think guys are VERY romantic actually and get a bad press in this country.

    But my favourite was with my last boyfriend, I was moaning about being broke for the last week of the month... he dropped me in a packed lunch every day on his way to work. I never ate so well.

    I think mine was for my birthday two years ago, my boyfriend made me a beautiful "card". It was a folder of paintings he had painted of me and a beautiful letter that was written across the four or five paintings.

    It was such a romantic and beautiful thing to receive and has to be both my all time favourite present and most romantic thing ever done for me. He had also pressed a number of rose petals into the folder so the smell when opened was heavenly. :)

    For me its the small things. One particular ex used to write me letters, and leave them so I would find them. I loved that. I love being brought small things that I like, my fave drink or magazine for example.

    One ex brought me to Paris before that was pretty romantic. :D

    I've been to the most romantic 2nd date ever. I was taken up to the probably most fabulous, scenic and very empty place in north Dublin, there was food, beer (i hate wine!) dessert, he had brought music and a blanket, even real knives and forks! I had to say it was beautiful. Oh, and candles, even tho it was day time and quite damp, haha...

    Well, it didn't last, he turned out to be one of those, eh, you know, b*stards, but hey, that thing he did there? Pantheon of my most romantic things I've ever been treated to.....

    Oh tinkletoes ,oh tinkletoes, I'm sorry you're an ex
    You could still be current ,honey, but you wouldn't give me sex
    As cold as ice and frigid,you ignored my raging bell
    So now you're dumped and single and resort to "post and tell".



    :rolleyes:

    You live in a parallel and directly opposite universe to me.
    The most romantic thing any man (excluding Daddy) had ever done for me, was ruin my chances on Valentines by fobbing off his wanted chintz on me, in front of my the then apple of my eye.
