The most romantic thing anyone has done for me is to lend me a book. Not just any book - their favourite book, signed by the author, with a handwritten letter tucked in the front of it, and post-it's scattered throughout telling me special things about the novel, like why this particular passage meant so much to him. It still gives me goosebumps - he certainly knew the way to my heart! - Posted from rhpmobile

When we want flowers , you don't have to spend $50 on roses . You could pick some simple ones in the field , and show up to surprise us . When we want a sweet message , it doesn't have to be 5 pages long . It can simply say " have a good day gorgeous " and when we want surprises , just show up with a $1 candy bar and tell us you love us . We really not that hard to understand That's what I call romantic

Im not batting for the other team here, but I think that a lot of women expect their guy to do these cute romantic gestures, but dont think to give the guy some attention too. And no, its not grabbing him a bear and handing it to him. Lol. They like to know they are appriciated as well. To give is to recieve in my opinion.

Romance is about stimulating the mind with little things for that is and when that happens everything else will follow - Posted from rhpmobile

Mr LAL is very aware I can get overwhelmed in large social situations. when I feel his hand on my shoulder... That is the most romantic thing he does for me..... He knows when to come over and reassure me. Nearly thirty years together and knowing he is thinking of my feelings - I am one very lucky girl. Mrs LAL - Posted from rhpmobile

A girlfriend of mine a few years back had a thing for roses. I had to pick her up from the airport at about 11pm one night so earlier that evening under the cover of darkness visited the local council rose garden and borrowed several ( umm, lots) of roses. Plain sheet ended up with some odd colouring. We slept in a bed full of rose petals. I returned the roses to the council via the green receptacle.

I totally agree, and I have always been a fan of doing thoughtful things that show a person I care about how much I appreciate them. Perhaps it's a sign of the kinds of men I am attracted to, but these gestures usually involve books too. :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

Picked me up one afternoon and drove us down to a lovely picnic spot at the riverside. He had an Esky packed with seafood, crusty bread, cheese and white wine. He bbqd a lovely meal for us. It was so thoughtful and much nicer than going to a restaurant :)

... I am a huge book lover and book collector too! I tried eBooks but they don't work for every genre. There are limitations for both the electronic and printed medium but to me, nothing beats holding a book! When I'm travelling on public transport, I love to peek at the covers of books that others are reading and then extrapolate and daydream about the sort of lives they lead. LOL!!! With eBooks, you can't do anything of the sort. :P You sound like the sort of girlfriend I'd love to have tea with! ;)

... can be the most romantic! I went to my ex bf's house one weekend for a sleepover (and more!) when I discovered that the bloke had very thoughtfully gotten hold of an extension plug panel for my side of the bed so I could plug in my stuff! I know it's nothing grandiose, but the thoughtfulness warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes! It showed that he was doing all he could to make me feel at home and he was quietly organising stuff to accommodate my presence! I was rendered speechless! :D Also, when he introduced his ADHD overactive Lab to me, I was initially ignored. But he patiently went, "No! Look here! *points to me... This is ******!" over and over again! His ADHD dog wasn't allowed to ignore me! LOL!!! It showed that he wanted to make me a part of his life. :) Simple gestures, but they touch my heart so very very deeply.

Quoting 'willowtree_2' Im not batting for the other team here, but I think that a lot of women expect their guy to do these cute romantic gestures, but dont think to give the guy some attention too. And no, its not grabbing him a bear and handing it to him. Lol. They like to know they are appriciated as well. To give is to recieve in my opinion. As long as you bring me the occasional beer. Not all the time, only when I'm watching the footy, and don't ask me, just bring it because I won't hear you. (Can only concentrate on one thing at a time) You are right though. Don't think I have ever received anything special but most woman expect it, and quick to complain if they don't get it.

To have met some wonderful and lovely men from RHP and from the real world in the past decade. Among those awesome experiences, two were very outstanding with one treated me to a surpirse dinner at a fine dining restaurant in the Rocks for my birthday (he knew I love fine dining), and the other gent gave me a memorable Valentine's Day, unexpectedly, with his charm and generosity. The fond memories of these two experiences are still warming my heart to date and they are the precious that I am given along my life journey :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

They love me. In words or in writing (in a card). That is all (that I ever wanted or needed).

I just remembered another one, and it put an enormous smile on my face. I had been chatting to a man I met on here for a while, and had told him about a particular set of books that I had had as a child, and that someone close to me destroyed in a successful attempt to hurt me. I have been trying to replace them, but was finding one of the books difficult to source. The first time I met him in person, he presented me with my missing book. He had tracked it down overseas, organised a friend to buy it and get it shipped to her, and then had it sent on to him. There's really no doubt about the way to my heart, huh! - Posted from rhpmobile

I had broken up with this guy for a couple of months,he was working away in a different country. But that did not stop him from planning an out of this world surprise birthday party for me. I turned up at this party as an invited guest to my friend's birthday party, or so I thought (as we shared birthdays)...half ways through, what used to be our favourite song (my ex and I ) started playing and it sort of made me a little sad...then my friend yelled that she had a birthday surprise for me and and made me face the doorway... And there he was, with this huge bouquet of red roses, and he said "welcome to your birthday party sweetheart". It had been my party all along, and he had flown all the way just to be there. Never mind we were broken up. Needless to say we got back together the next day!😜😝. Shame we are back to being exes,but that will always be my most romantic gesture of all time.😍💕 - Posted from rhpmobile

Someone whom I'm yet to know in the material world (she knows who she is) has already won my heart in this ethereal space and reminded me yet again just how exquisite a creature "woman" is, and why we men have always and will always fight and die for their attentions forevermore. Read my last message ma petit fleur : )

I used to slip a little love note into my husbands wallet, or in the car so that he would find it during his work day.( before mobiles) And when I was a young child I used to pop a note into my dads lunch box "youre the best dad eva",that kind of thing( but that was usually just before my birthday or christmas- I wasnt silly)

I was 28, and he was 25, Irish, a backpacker (yes always had a thing for foreigners what can I say) and moved in with me 2 days after we met. He spent time getting to know my mother, helping her out while I worked. Always greeted me with a smile that made his face shine. Then declared his love by making a slideshow video with pictures of our time together so far to a Snow Patrol song I think it was, that he played for me just after we had made love and were basking in the afters. He was asking me to come with him and just go with it, Alas I did not listen to my heart nor what he was saying and it ended as he left. It is still one of the most romantic gestures that is bittersweet to recall.

a lovely romantic getaway for our last anniversary. No kids, secluded weekend away in a lovely chalet in the rainforest. When we arrived, candles were lit, food was delivered already in the fridge, champagne on ice, spa warm and bubbling away. It was perfect. All I knew was we were going somewhere special plus a few little details... So I did some research on the Internet and worked out where it was, and surprised her back by ensuring there was a dozen red roses there too. At first she thought they were just part of the package, until I asked her about three hours later what the card said and she read it. Love you babe!

Coming home to find our son had been put to bed and the table was set with candles and dinner ready. I think it meant more that I didn't have to cook that night. When I worked in a chicken factory (a very long time ago) we had the local radio station hooked up to speakers and could be heard through all the rooms. My other half had the broadcaster read out a heart felt apology and had a song dedicated to me. The whole processing plant heard and wanted to know what he had done. When in a long distance relationship with a musician who lived in England, he used to put his phone on hands free and play his guitar and sing to me. Bought me a calendar with pictures of Utes. Most recently, a huge hug as soon as he walked in the door. It was a hug that said so much and said all the right things.

Personally I find it a bit painful recalling romantic occasions with certain women I fell madly in love with but am no longer with. Most memorable romantic moments occurred during Adam and Eve sex outdoors on camping trips and walks.

An ex used to cut the crust off toast for me because he knew I wouldn't eat it. That was really sweet. Pity he wasn't. Another wasn't very big on words but the way he would softly kiss the top of my head was better than any words. Little things like that are beautiful. It doesn't cost anything and can mean so much.

The last lass I fell for was in Russia. I was renting an apartment and wanted to do something special for her and she was a complete romantic. I decided to line the floor with rose petals and candles leading to a hot scented petal path. She did like that. Now the amusing part was trying to convince the florist to sell me roses to destroy. The Russian florists were like nothing I'd seen and they were so passionate about flowers as they have big meaning there. So in gestures as nobody spoke English and my Russian was very limited I explained what I wanted to do. The florist once she understood was horrified that I would do this to the roses so she gave me a huge bag of yesterdays petals. An awesome weird dancing conversation of over an hour.

...before the close-up boob shots and phone-held-high-while-lying-in-bed pics, was an endearing show of her affection. It was her at work...in a stockmans coat and hat...lying across a recently deceased feral camel, rifle in hand, blood leaking from a neat hole in the side of its head...that chuffed grin on her face.I remember it fondly, for as a farmers daughter from NZ working in Oz, I knew this was genuinely her .

I was away at a res school for uni. When I came home my partner waited for me at the airport with a handmade sign with my name on it. It had lollipops sticky taped to it. Then she sucked my lollipop in the car. - Posted from rhpmobile

That reminds me of a special night. Sitting naked in a papasan on a 1st floor balcony watching a lightning storm come in over Garden Island while I brushed her hair, the brush would occasionally pass over her nipples and her whole body would tremble. Good times.

Life is not always happy. Something frightful is happening on the periphery of my life that is bringing much sadness to me. During a recent meltdown where I was having a very tearful day, my friend and mentor was kind enough to listen to my sorrow and give me an outlet for my grief. He took valuable time from his busy day to offer support. While he may not have described it as "romantic", it was the nicest thing a man has done for me for many years.

I totally understand your post. I agree that kindness and thoughtfulness is better than any romantic gift. For the last three weeks, I have been experiencing so much sadness, from some extremely unexpected news, where my life has taken a whole new spin and turn of life events (more than frightening). Today a parcel arrived, containing a gift (something they now I like) from a very dear soul-friend. I thought it was extremely precious that someone was thinking of me during this time. Some people are just priceless. Hope you are ok?? Ms Foxy xx

I got an enormous warm and fuzzie today! Someone very very special to me, said nothing and just wanted to hold my hand. The look in their eyes said to me, they felt safe, reassured and ok. It just made my whole heart all warm and smile. Not romantic lovey stuff, but was a very deep loving, soul-moving, proud moment. One I will forever Treasure. Ms Foxy

Downloaded 12 hours of hi def porn in my favourite genres for me to enjoy while sick in bed. (Yes I love watching sexy sex) He edits together clips of our home made porn accompanied to my fave songs too. Reminds me of my strengths when I feel low. Indulges in all my curiosities without judgement. Bath prepared with rose petal, oils, candles and champagne. It's the little thoughts that show he cares. - Posted from rhpmobile

No one? Not saying that you're moping about it - but man! I hope someone does something romantic for you soon! Everyone deserves something a bit gush worthy (outside the bedroom that is 😉) Patch - childhood book? Wow! That's the stuff romance novels are made out of! For me - when hubby and I started hanging out together we decided to go for a drive down the coast after work. It was getting cold and he had a convertible. So he pulled into a shopping centre and made me sit in the car. When he came back out he had a shopping bag - he'd bought me a jumper! Didn't want me getting a chill! Melted me a little. And - he always lets me have the remote control! Also an ex of mine had no money but it was our anniversary. We used to visit this little beach area at Kingscliff that had a few huge rocks. Her drive us down on our anniversary and we had a swim. I was happy with that - but then he showed me that on one of the big rocks he had carved his initials, love heart and then mine into the rock face. He had driven down a few days before a spent hours on it. It explained his blistered hands! I will never forget the effort he went to!

Yeah, it's really strange but It wasn't until I started thinking back throughout my life and realised that romance hadn't factored at all, well not unless I was instigating it. By romance, I mean the sentiment or feeling behind the action, I'm not one for flowers or any of that, but well, you know, making me feel like I'm the sexiest thing on the planet. I do get that feeling through sexual encounters but it's different from a partner. It will happen in the future, I know it will, but this has been quite revealing for me, and no doubt has a lot to do with the urgency of my actions and sense of entitlement I guess in a way, age also adds a factor to the urgency I'm sure. Want to get a bit before I drop dead lol

Ah... a sudden recollection! An ex bf had to be away for a while because of work. He gave me one of his favourite T-shirts and his bottle of Eau de Cologne so I could smell him and not feel so lonely when he was away! I slipped his T-shirt over my pillow, spritzed his cologne on it nightly, and fell asleep snuggled with the pillow. Siiiigh...

I forgot to add - wow! Brushing hair - I don't know why but that has to be one of the most special and intimate moments I've heard of! Pure - now that's gush worthy! I_touch - I'm sure it will happen! And hey there's nothing wrong with instant gratification either 😉

Tiny hints like the hole in the side of the head nah just kidding
