Romantic Nights... Movie Dates
Dancing to Violins
The day of our one-year anniversary, my boyfriend came and picked me up at my house and took me to this gorgeous building, downtown. Once inside, he took me to the dance floor. It was all wood and very ornate; gorgeous! The next thing I know, I hear violin music playing! A friend of his knows how to play the violin and came and played some of our special songs while we danced. It was so special. Just him and I on the dance floor was magical. Then he took me to dinner and on a carriage ride around Downtown. It was the most memorable evening we've ever had. When I think of how much time and effort it took for him to plan this evening, it makes me love him even more! -submitted by Heather
Escalator Kisses
My boyfriend and I have this custom while going on escalators: while on it, he often stands on the stair below mine so that he would appear shorter and could hug me around the waist, and I could hug him around the shoulders. Then he would crane up to kiss me on the chin or cheeks, and I would return by kissing him on the forehead or his cheeks. It's always fun and every time we see an escalator in front of us, no matter where we are, (shopping malls, train stations etc.), we can't wait to get on it! -submitted by Zana
Grocery Store Fun
Grocery shopping with your mate can be an experience from hell, but here's a tip. Visit your local card store and pick up three little cards that are about the size of your palm. On each one write something creative, example: I'll have something waiting for you when we get home or guess what I'm not wearing. While grocery shopping, slip him these tiny cards. I'm sure he'll be pleasantly surprised and you'll find how fast your grocery shopping gets done. Another good place for this idea is at a restaurant. -submitted by Anonymous
Movie Dates
The next time you go to the movies with your love, sit in the top row seats where the arm-rests can fold down and there aren't any people behind you. Then, you can snuggle all you want to without fear of offending somebody or being uncomfortable. This is especially nice when you go to see romantic movies. -submitted by Crystal
NYC by night
This is perfect if you live in NYC, but if not, try to find something of the like. On their one year anniversary, my friend's boyfriend picked her up in a limo and drove around the city to the pier, where there was a yacht, which served a 3-4 course dinner. The yacht took them around the NYC skyline, and at night, this is the most incredible thing, and one of the most romantic. She went home, literally floating. -submitted by Annie
Parking Lot Romance
My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years and we want to be newlyweds forever. We've already found out that it’s easy to just take each other for granted and be too comfortable with what you have. To keep things spicy we're trying to keep impressing each other. One early morning, I went out to the car and next to it, with blue & pink chalk, I wrote in big letters on the pavement "Have a great day, Honey. I love you!" We live in an apartment complex so other people saw my message and when he left for work he had to do a double take. He loved it! He came back in and gave me the biggest hug and kiss! I could tell he wanted to stay. He's still thanking me and it’s been 1 1/2 weeks. -submitted by Tanya
Proposal On The Expressway
My sister, Blaunch, was not yet ready to get married to her boyfriend, but one day when we were driving along the expressway, our attention was caught by a billboard stating, "Blaunch, will you marry me? I love you so much... from Luis". She quickly called her boyfriend on her phone and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" -submitted by Bambie
Romantic Nights
Try going to a place where you could see the city lights, while playing soft instrumental music, then having her very close in your arms and just hug and nibble on her earlobe and whisper to her that she really means a lot to you and that it wouldn't be heaven on earth without her. -submitted by Anonymous
Rooftop Dinner
On Valentine's Day of 2003, I had planned a very special surprise dinner for just my boyfriend and me. It took me a whole week to plan this and gather all the things that I needed for our special dinner, but it was worth it! On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend had to work from 7:30am - 8:30pm, so at 6:30 that night, my sister and I set up a table on the rooftop of my dad’s apartment building. We put a very silky red cloth over the table and I added a vase filled with the roses he gave me earlier that day. I ordered take-out food from our favorite restaurant then set up a CD player with a CD I had made of our love songs. I also set up candles and dessert. (Dessert was Hershey’s kisses with which I inserted reasons why I love you – an idea I got from your website.) Once everything was set up, I had my sister keep an eye on everything and called his sister to give him a message to get dressed up and then meet me at my apartment. I then had another sister pick up the take-out food and bring it over to the rooftop setting, where she and a friend would set it up for me. When my boyfriend arrived at my apartment, he was very curious! I told him to cover his eyes and I led him up to the rooftop. Once he was seated, my sister played the CD and I told him he could open his eyes. He was surprised all right! He was speechless! My sister and friend left us to enjoy our Valentine’s dinner. We saw them off, and then turned our full attention to our dinner, which we did. It was really worth all the hard work to see my boyfriend surprised and loving it all! -submitted by Pauline
Signs Of Affection
Out of the blue my boyfriend posted poster board signs that read, "I love Jackie" on my route to work. It was nice because he always has trouble telling me. There was one in my housing complex, one on the corner that I turn on, and one at work. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me. He not only told me he loves me, but now the whole city knows he loves me too! -submitted by Jackie
