Are You A Hopeless Romantic ?
Always on the hunt for new ideas to add to your romance arsenal?
As if there wasn’t enough food for your hopeless romantic hunger on our first post – 110 Romantic Things To Do – Bet You Never Thought of All These Before? Now we have even more powerful ideas for you to add to your reserve supply of potential activities..
5 minutes devoted to romance = 1 day of harmony.
Think of all the times that your failure to do some little thing—like calling to tell her you’ll be home late from work, or mailing her a “special” birthday card on time—has caused a full day of unhappiness. Consistent attention to your lover will keep your relationship balanced and happy. It doesn’t take much! Little gestures go a long way.
Give your lover a dozen roses—and do it with a creative twist.Give eleven red roses and one white rose. Attach a note that reads:
“In every bunch there’s one who stands out— and you are that one.”
Gallantry never really goes out of style. So every once in a while kiss her hand with a flourish. Note: The proper way to kiss a woman’s hand is to lower your lips to her hand. You don’t raise her hand to your lips.
Keep candles in the car. Eat dinner by candlelight the next time you go to McDonald’s.
Run your hands under hot water before joining your partner in bed(!)
Ask her best girlfriend—or her mother—for help. Ask her to go shopping with you (secretly!). Tell her you want to spend one afternoon shopping for a year’s worth of gifts for your partner. Establish a budget, let her think about it for a week, then go shopping together.
Don’t just walk into the house tonight the way you always do. Pause on the porch; ring the doorbell; and greet her with one red rose and a bottle of champagne.
Buy a stuffed animal and give as a gift of your love for a special occasion. Then, periodically, hide that stuffed animal in odd places your love will find it accidentally ( refrigerator, medicine cabinet, food pantry, linen closet, etc.) It is just like saying I Love You all over again!
Want to jazz up the presentation of a special meal? Buy a little hunk of dry ice from a local ice house. Put it in a bowl of water and place it on your serving tray. You’ll create wondrous, billowing white clouds!
Write “Romantic Reminders” on your “To Do” list at work. Use your Calendar app if you have one. Romantic Reminders will remind you with plenty of time to properly prepare for your next “surprise”.
Start saving mementos of your life together.
Create a “Memories Box.”
• Save movie stubs, theater programs, and
restaurant receipts.
• Save sand and seashells from your beach
vacations.
• Save labels from wine bottles and corks
from champagne bottles.
• Save restaurant menus and placemats.
• Save maps from your road trips.
• Save plane tickets, movie tickets, event tickets, theater
tickets, etc.
• Use these mementos to create a unique gift for a
special anniversary. Make a collage, a scroll, a
memory box, or a scrapbook.
_____________________________________________
• Give her one Hershey’s Kiss.
• Give her one thousand Hershey’s Kisses.
• Remove all the little paper strips (that
say “Kisses” on them) from a couple
hundred Hershey’s Kisses. Fill a little
jewelry box with them. Wrap ’em up and
present them to her.
• Write a clever certificate explaining that the little paper slips are
coupons redeemable for one kiss each.
________________________________________
Get her a wristwatch. Inscribe it with: I always have time for you.
• Write her a love letter or poem on one
sheet of paper. Glue it to thin cardboard; cut it up into puzzle shaped
pieces; then mail all the pieces to her.
• Or, mail one puzzle piece per day!
Write “I love you” on every page of a pack of Post-It
Notes. Stick ’em all over the house!
Write a short note to your lover that’s spread out over
several postcards. Write a short phrase on each postcard, then
mail one at a time. You’ll build anticipation for the romantic
conclusion on the final postcard. (Maybe deliver that last one in
person.)
Put notes on various household products:
• Joy dish washing liquid: “Every day with you is a Joy.”
• Cheerios: “Just knowing you love me cheers me up!”
• Old Spice cologne: “You spice up my life!”
• Ritz Crackers: “Let’s ‘Put On The Ritz’ tonight! Let’s go dancing!”
• A roll of Lifesavers: “You’re a lifesaver!”
• Caress soap: “This is what I’m going to do to you tonight.”
• Mail her a pack of matches. Attach a note: “I’m hot for you.”
• Mail him a pair of oven mitts. Attach a note: “I’m hot for you.”
• Mail her a bottle of Tabasco sauce. Attach a note: “I’m hot for you.”
• Mail him a pair of your sexiest panties. The note: “I’m hot for you.
Write one love letter on twenty-five different index cards. Hide these all over the house. Finding all of them will be the first challenge. Putting them in order will be the second challenge.
Remove the mechanism from a musical card and attach it to the bottom of a dinner plate or to the inside of a heart-shaped box of chocolates.
Put a tiny little love note inside a balloon. Insert the message, blow up the balloon and tie it. Then attach a pin to the string.
Send him one rose. The note: “This bud’s for you!”
Hopeless Romantic “make-up” idea:
Remove all of the thorns from a dozen long-stem red roses before you give them to your lover. The note: “These roses symbolize my love for you. Perfect, pure, and without the thorns of hurt. I’m not perfect but my love for you is.”
Get an empty bottle of prescription pills.
Fill it with green M&M’s. Create a custom label, something like this:
Patient: (Your Pet Name For Your Lover)
Medication: Libido Liberator—Extra Strength!
Side Effects: Love Sickness & Hot Flashes.
Dosage: A Handful or Two.
Refills: See Prescribing Physician Only!
Physician: Doctor of Love, (Your Name).
When you’re traveling without her: Mail a card or note
to her the day before you leave town, so she’ll get it while you’re away.
When you’re going to be away, tape your photo to your pillow.
Literally make a “game” out of being romantic.
Take the spinner from an old board game; cover over the original instructions; divide the circle into twelve quadrants. Write different
romantic activities in each quadrant. Take turns giving it a spin every week.
Send him a letter sealed with a kiss. (Use your reddest lipstick.) Perfume is a nice added touch
New to a relationship? Visiting Hustler Hollywood is a great way to determine compatibility with your partner. Is your date comfortable with his or her own sexuality? Do they have a sense of adventure? What are their turn-ons and turn-offs? Is your partner more interested in products for themselves for you? Taking a walk through Hustler Hollywood and finding out which items appeal to your partner is a great way to answer all of those questions. See the Full Article Here
Buy a lottery ticket. Give it to her with a little note attached:
“I hit the jackpot when I married you!”
Have “your song” playing on the stereo when your partner returns home from work.
Gals: Stumped about what to get him for Valentine’s
Day? Try this idea this year: Forget the gift! Just greet him at the
front door wearing a big red ribbon—and nothing else.
Of course you know how to kiss, but perhaps a refresher course might add a little spark to your lives. Pick up a copy of a fun little book called The Art of Kissing, by William Cane. In it are instructions for (among other things)…try them all – be committed

1 = north 2= south 3 = east 4 = west 5 and 6 are automatic re-roll.
Then drive until you get somewhere that suits you both…sooner or later, you’ll either find a really cool place or you’ll be tired and ready to just spend a quiet weekend in a room with no distractions.
