[ThreeMusketeers]

Well he's not my spouse but my boyfriend is actually very romantic. We've been dating for about 5 months. My birthday was about 3 weeks ago and for my birthday, he gave me little gifts every day of the week until Friday. Friday (my birthday) he told me to go sit in my Jeep to open my last gift. I did (at 630am) and it was a CD that said "play me"....so, I obliged. He had written me a song (which I already knew about) and recorded it in the studio (which I didn't know) and put it on a CD. He's a singer/songwriter (see my siggy!) and is amazing. I've never received a gift with so much personal thought in it as "my song". It was the most romantic thing ever. Hopefully things won't change as time goes by.

Good luck on that!

My "boyfriend" was very romantic too...roses, cards, little surprises.

Fast forward 20 + years...for my birthday my dh got me a Swiss Army knife & a USB flashdrive. Bless his little heart - I know he loves me anyway. He bought me DVC points for our 20th anniversary!

HaHaHaHaHa HaHaHa.... I'll live vicariously as well. He also was romantic when we were dating. I call it before sex and after behavior.

Sounds like my DH although mine is so romantic that I usually have to buy my own presents.

My dbf can be romantic, but I don't think it's on his list of priorities.

 

[Blondy876]

There is a serious shortage of romance at my house. My dh was very romantic when we started dating 12 years ago, but that fizzled out a long time ago.

 

[nativetxn]

After almost 34 years of marriage he is romantic enough. Sometimes he is very romantic and other times he isn't so romantic.

He's mine, though

First and foremost: ThreeMusketeers, your DD is adorable!

As for romance, my DH is very sweet. This month will be our 13th wedding anniversary, and every year, since our first, he sends me a beautiful bouquet of flowers that contains all the flowers of my bridal bouquet! I smell their fragrance and it brings me back to that wonderful day!

My DH isn't romantic 24/7, but he does do romantic things that are really sweet pretty frequently. It's not diamonds and roses, but that wouldn't be romantic to me right now while we're setting up college funds for our children. He does things like taking us out for dinner when I've had a rough day, taking the boys outside to play so I can have time alone in the house, and telling other people what great wife and mom I am. It's a no-nonesense style of romance, but it's perfect for this stage of our lives.

the only 2 thoughts us guys have towards women are, "does that feel good?", and "are you mad at me?" romantic offerings are a byproduct that occasionally creep in by no design of our own. enjoy them. we don't know where they came from and can't possibly duplicate them. back to football.....

Yeah, they're only romantic when they have ulterior motives.

I believe romance changes throughout the years....for instance, when my DH & I were dating....he was soooooooooo romantic ! I got flowers all the time. I'd get them at work or at home. Sometimes there were delivered at BOTH my home & my workplace! I'd ask him "why would you send me two deliveries?" He would say "because I'd like you to enjoy them at work during the day & then after you get home too!" He would write me special poems, he'd buy tickets for the play I wanted to see (even if it didn't interest him) & surprise me with them. There were so many diff things that I couldn't list them all. But now we've been married 11 years & we have 2 kids & altho I would kill him if he spent "our" money on flowers that die in a few days (ha ha!), he does other things for me. He washes my floors! He vacuums the whole house! I have not pumped my own gas in my car since 1994! He takes my car in when it needs servicing, he'll take us out to dinner when I've had a bad day or he'll just say "I can eat a sandwich or cereal tonight." Oh & this is a biggie ~ he takes me to WDW twice per year because he knows thats my fave place on earth! (We sacrifice a lot to do that btw....). But this is the thing that really sealed the deal after all these years...2 years ago my Mom was dying of cancer & he was so willing to have me put my Mom first ~ before him & my kids. He would get my Mom whatever she needed...he did so much for her especially when she was ill. It didn't matter what it was or what it cost, he wanted my Mom to be as comfy as possible during her illness. Now to finally put the crown on my saint ~ he let my Mom live with us when we were only married 3 months! He would also invite her to come along when we planned a vacation & he would never let her pay a dime towards it. These are all things that show what love & respect he has for me (& I for him naturally). So I guess my DH is very romantic ~ just in a different way!

Oh & if I can add a P.S. to this....my Mom died of Bone Marrow Cancer in July 02. (I miss her soooooo much.) During her illness, she constantly needed blood transfusions. During the end, she needed 2 pints of blood twice a week. Sometimes there were blood shortages & I was just crazy with fear that she wouldn't get the blood in time. Anyway, my DH vowed that he would donate blood on a regular basis in honor of my Mom because he saw how very much donated blood is needed. He now is registered with the Red Cross to donate on a regular basis & he has done so since my Mom was ill. Is he romantic or what?

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, my DH is about a -5 He has plenty of good points though

 

[hugsquared]

AAhhhh...thinking back I guess DH has his moments. I will occasionally get flowers for no reason (not often mind you so I'm always surprised). He hugs me often will occasionally slip me a romantic card.
Then sometimes, he has no sense of romance at all. We'll go someplace fancy and I'll be all dressed up and feeling romantic and he'll pop up with something like "are we gonna do it or can I watch wrestling?" Captain Romance strikes again.

This is what romance is like at my house nowadays. It is all in how you look at it. I don't want flowers now (unless I'm not gonna get the bill in the mail in 2 weeks! LOL) and DH tries real hard to do kind things--like Kermit said. He took DD out in the boat Saturday when I had a million things to do. He takes me to WDW and for my b-day in '04 he did take me to a bed & breakfast. Roamnce is different than the dating days but that's OK, we're at a different stage too.

He thinks he's romantic....but, he's not.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

I am very lucky-Dh is very romantic. Always doing sweet things and surprising me. He is the best!
