What is something your Spouse or So could do for you that you'd think was romantic?

And PLEASE keep it PG.

Thank you


What is something that would really sweep you off your feet? or make you go awwwwwwww?


I'm a simple girl I really love the little things.

I love it when my dh picks up a candy bar or something for me while he's in line at the store, just to show me that hes thinking about me, thats what really does it for me

Also the little notes, even if its just a quick, " Dont worry, Ill do the dishes when I get home" or something like that. I know he thinks about me during the day but when he does stuff like that it just really makes my day.


So how about you? What could your SO do to sweep you off your feet? Would it take diamonds? or a back rub?

Lets hear it

when he comes home with hostess cup cakes once in a great while for me. My favorite treat in the world and he knows it...just the little things do it for me too..

Oh, when the kids where younger and I'd come home from working at night to find the kids bathed, toys picked up and their p.j's on backwards. I fell in love with him all over again.

When he calls me and I'm in the grocery store and I told him I had a bad day and I'm still out buying his dinner, it would be romantic if he actually pulled out that bubble bath he bought me and drew a hot bath. Hasn't happened yet, but it'd be nice!

I like the little things too -- he got a picture of the plane he's been flying, and he could put anything he wanted as the tail number for the plane in the picture. You'd think he'd choose his birthday or something like that, since it's his first plane and all. He didn't -- it's our anniversary. I get all smiley every time I see that picture!

Of course, that diamond he gave me almost two years ago is pretty nice, too!

It's not often, but when my DH is being particularly romantic, he'll write me poetry.

on a day to day basis...if he picked up his dirty laundry, I'd be his love slave!!! LOL.....

and we rarely get time alone. We both work, and he works alot of overtime. I would love it if he would arrange a weekend away for just the 2 of us! I am always the one that plans vacations and getaways, and I would love it if he would take it upon himslef just once. I wouldn't care where we went, just the fact that he put that much thought into it would be nice But he does everyday things for me to let me know he loves me, and I am grateful for that

One of the nicest, most romantic things my husband does for me is this.

As a wedding gift 17 years ago, we received this little mail organizer/chalkboard thing that hangs in our kitchen. Every day of those 17 years he writes me a little note on it before he leaves for work. Sometimes he is super creative, using different color chalk, complete with drawings ( ), and sometimes when he is a hurry its just a simple "I love you". Since we've had kids, he usually leaves them a little note as well.

I love that chalkboard. Its nice to be reminded that I'm loved, and some days we are both so busy that this is our only communication. Every morning when I wake up (he is almost always up before me) I run downstairs to see what note he has written me for the day, and I've been doing the same thing for the past 17 years.

Awww, snoopy, that's cute! We have a wipe off board, but he rarely writes on it.

Along with the trips... I don't care about planning it -- heck, I love to plan Disney trips -- but it would be wonderful if he just said, "OK, dear, I got a week off -- let's go to Disney!" Unfortunately that's more under the military's control than his.

Snoopy, that is so romantic!

For many years, I would get an anniversary card from my DH on the 4th of every month. DH started this this the first month we were married and continued it for many, many years. I don't know how it stopped, probably when our oldest came along and it was tougher to get out and get a card. DH has learned over the years that the little things mean a lot to me. He's even learning to remember and acknowledge my birthday and our anniversary.

Our true anniversary is coming up next week. We'll have to see what he comes up with.

I also appreciate when he does the dishes in the evening. It's a nice break for me.

 

[tkyes]

I get notes sometimes too. Usually when DH has left for out of town I'll come home and find a note on the counter. Once there was a note on my pillow that said "sweet dreams", it was very cute. I stick notes in his luggage when he leaves too.

Sometimes if he hears a song that reminds him of me or us, he'll call my cell phone and play a little of the song as a voicemail message.

Aww, Snoopy, that is too cute!!

My DH is not a romantic by any means, in the usual sense. No candlelight dinners, no roses, no jewelry (which is even better b/c I don't like it). But, he calls me whenever he can during the day - just to say he loves me. I get emails all the time. My fave I printed out and it is hanging right above my desk. It says "For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. I love you so much, Kevin " This was during a particularly hard time in my life. I had just had my fourth m/c, I wanted a new life. I asked him what he would think of me if I quit my job to take a job that I would be happier with.

I also love it when he cleans, or wants a date night, or rubs my feet, or just wants to cuddle. Every morning he is a cuddler - rolls over and hugs me so tight.

I love my man

My DH can be a bit eccentric when it comes to nice romantic things. One time he made an Easter egg that had I love you! on it, that was sweet. And i still have the egg, in good condition. don't worry it doesn't stink or anything, hehe. And another time, DH carved I Love You Jenny on a bar of soap while I was away on a trip with my parents. How many guys do you know do that??? Now that's love! hehehe

I also like the little things, like when he'll cook me my favorite dinner. One time when I was terribly sick with mastitis and had to take Vicodin (I was knocked out, needless to say) and our daughter was about 2 months old, he let me sleep and took our daughter out of the house to run errands with her. I will always remember that.

 

[TEENEE]

I have to admit I get spoiled. Breakfast in bed, flowers, or an occassional picnic packed and ready to go when I get home from work, not to mention all the things he does around the house. He's a keeper.

 

[binny]

You know I think that I really take dh for granted He cleans the kitchen every night, takes the kids every Saturday morning so I can have some quiet time, and every so often he can be very romantic.
One year he took me to the Anniversary Inn for my Birthday he arranged for childcare for all three kids for the night and everything! He took me to a really nice restaraunt and then when we got to the Inn he had made a trail with hersheys kisses up the stairs ( it was a 2 story suite) to the bed where he had written in kisses " I love you Robin" He pampered me the whole time we were there. It was wonderful!

*sigh*

What a great guy!

Snoopy, I love the chalkboard story, so sweet.

My DH admits he's not into poetry or sappy romantic movies, but he loves to surprise me. He gives me gifts year round, when I least expect it. Sometimes it's one single rose or a paperback book I mentioned I wanted to read; sometimes it's diamonds or a designer outfit. He'll also sneak out of work early from time to time, go home and vacuum the house, mop the floors, clean the kitchen and bathrooms and order in dinner so I can relax when I get home. I think ALL of these are romantic because he shows me that he not only loves me, he also appreciates the chores that I do every day and doesn't take it for granted. He always makes me feel special.
