the most romantic thing?

[trippingdaisy]

what is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you/you've done for someone else? I was just thinking that I cant recall anything romantic ever really happening to me ( _violin_ ), so I'm curious. I dont necessarily mean flowers and chocolates and stuff like that- I think it exists on many weird and wonderful levels- so let me be nosy, tell me and me smile and go "awwwww!"......

(apologies if this has been done)

[serenarian]

The most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me is given me a big hug and held me all night when I was depressed and down. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it really showed me that he cared, and it moved me to tears.

My bf bought me a wicca book for valentines day.
Everyone else I dated thought wicca was a joke! :fpoke:

I kidnapped my husband... literally.

I told him I had to work late and he would have to be at the house when our daughter came home from school on Friday, which was a holiday for him from work. I had made arrangements for our daughter to ride the bus to a baby sitter's house and sat at the house at the appointed time and waited for him. The bus came and went... no husband... I was furious! He finally comes waltzing up about 15 minutes late in his golf clothes. I told him to get in the car. No explanation, just "Get in the car." I refused to talk to him for over an hour no matter how much he apologized and kept asking where we were going. Finally, as we crossed into the third state on our trip, I told him he was officially kidnapped. He guessed pretty quickly we were on our way to New Orleans because it is my favorite place ever. I had made hotel arrangements and dinner reservations and we had a wonderful time walking Bourbon Street, ending up at Coyote Ugly with me dancing on the bar. He had never been to New Orleans and I took the whole next day showing him everything I love about that city.

1. This guy I went home with one night actually ran into his bedroom the first thing he did when we got back to his place, lit a candle and putted on a cd with celtic music just because I'd mentioned I was facinated by celtic stuff. I thought it was pretty romantic actually...

2. The most romantic thing however is just something small but I loved it dearly. One of my crushes and I had actually shared a bed (we were 4 ppl sharing a big king sized bed) and I'd cuddled up a bit further down on the bed (I always do that, oddly enough) Anyway, he placed his hand right over my heart and when I woke up the next morning he'd slept with his hand on my chest directly over my heart the whole night. I just found that wonderful.

He wrote a song for me. A beautiful song. He showed it to me, asked my opinion and if I had any ideas for a piano arrangement . . . normal stuff. Then about two months later, he told me he had feelings for me, and that the song was written for me. I had never felt so beautiful or wanted in my whole life.

I've always been a lover of windchimes and the house we lived in a few years ago had a porch with 13 windows on it. Each window had a windchime hanging from it. Well, my father was dying of cancer and I chose to spend the night with him at the hosp....we knew it would be his last, and I needed to be with him. The next morning, my father passed. I called home, and told my bf that it was over and that I'd be home shortly. When I got home...I was simply in awe. He had climbed out our bedroom window, onto the roof of the porch, and hung every single set of chimes that we had outside the window on branches of a tree. He told me he did it so that every time my father "spoke" to me...I would hear him....

Rick goes out and not only warms the car up for me, he scrapes the ice off the windows. How sweet is that?

Ohhh--on Valentine's Day...he sent me a text message on my phone saying Happy Valentine's Day and we were in the same room at the time.

I guess technically the night I met my husband could be considered the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me... It was my first time ever going out to a dance club, I was 19 and a freshman in college so I was revelling in the attention from guys I was getting. I met a tall skinny guy with glasses who was so very NOT my type... later I was headed toward the bathroom with my friends when I heard a large group of male voices screaming my name across the bar. I tried to ignore it and keep moving, but it wouldn't stop so I went over to where the tall gorgeous man was standing waving at me, he slipped his arm around my waist and hooked a finger through my belt loops as he asked, "Do you want to meet the Blue Angels?" I, at the time, had no idea who they were but it turned out this guy was a pilot and he was hanging out with the Navy aviation team before a show and the tall skinny guy was his roommate who had told him my name when he said I was cute. As the evening progressed we started talking and found more and more strange coincidences between us and finally he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Nine years and one child later we are still together, and he's now a Navy pilot.

Sorry, I can't give away my secrets ;)

[memnoch]

I'm not as romantic, but I am sickingly sweet when it comes to what I say. The most liked line's I've used were "I've spent 21 years of my life without you so I don't want to miss another day" and " I want all of our kisses to be like our first kiss...if you don't feel this way every time you kiss me its just a meaningless gesture and I would rather not be kissed"

I am obsessed with pineapples. Yes, you heard right, pineapples. I was working as the manager at a dollar store (ugh) and I was unpacking and counting some merchandise we had just received. I was grumpy because it was the sunniest, hottest week of the summer, and I'd been stuck there for 8 days straight doing inventory, without so much as and hour of daytime off.

Being that I am a total sun bunny, this was really starting to depress me. Anyway, I was counting away in the back room, when I look up and see a pineapple sitting on the shelf by the door. But not just any pineapple, it had two enormous googly eyes stuck to it, a big red licorice smile, and a drink umbrella sticking out of the top along with some tootsie pops (my favorite of all lollies!). There was a little note beside it from my bf at the time, which said "A little sunshine for you."

Needless to say I had a ridiculous grin stuck on my face the rest of the day. But you can imagine the looks I got on the bus going home with a little pineapple man sitting beside me! :rotfl:

Back when I was first starting out as a flight attendant, I had just started seeing this guy and we were absolutely crazy about each other. One day we were saying good-bye at the airport just before I had to go and meet the rest of the crew. He kissed me and said "I'll see you soon" and he winked at me.
Anyway, I was greeting the passengers boarding the flight that evening when my boyfriend showed up. He said "I told you I'd see you soon". He had bought a ticket for the flight I was working on just so he could be with me. :smile:
Needless to say, I ended up marrying him. :heartthro

OK, the only kind of romantic thing anyone's ever done for me was probably when I was ill :sleepybed over Christmas break and I was getting dehydrated because I don't like water and the drinks my Mom usually has in the house I wont drink so my boyfreind at the time was threatening to bring me some drinks and I was running out of ways to disuade him so I said that he could n't becasue I can only drink things on my crest. I had been playing around with the idea of if I were a Lady Knight what my crest would be which was a flying owl over the head of a unicorn and it had a tree in the background. So he made lables at work of things from my crest like Unicorn Juice and leaftopia, and he brought me a baby tree and a stuffed dog and a million kinds of vitamins. I suppose that is more kindness than romance, but that's as close as I've got.

He asked you to marry him that night! _handclapp that's groovy

There are times when I'd like to think I am a practical person, but I have to admit I do have romantic streak about a mile wide. I have no guy at the moment. I'm not expecting that to change. I've never fallen head over heels and I daresay I never will.

I believe in love.

I just don't believe I'm meant to experience it for myself, I mean other than a couple of stunning, crushes, 38 years and nada. I'm getting a distinct clue here that it's probably not going to happen to me, you know?

Yet, there's a vintage gold wedding band, with the perfect inscription that is sitting in my "special jewelry" box as if there was supposed to be a guy coming along to wear it.

That, I think is both my most romantic gesture and one of the most silly things I have ever done, but when I saw that ring, I just knew I had to have it, and I spent money I didn't have at the time to get it too.

A thousand times since then, every time money has been particularly tight, I've told myself to go sell it. Several hundred bucks worth of classy old ring and I am hanging onto it like it was glued to my palm even though I barely have two cans of tuna and a package of ramen in the cupboard...

Sheer unabased romanticism, or utter lunacy?

You tell me....

Cause I haven't a CLUE as to what I am doing with that one...

Me and a certain someone have always had problems because we're both so ... so very like each other. I had finally decided one day that I was done with him, that that was it and it was over. That never seems to work with him.
Anyway, he shows up at my house and he asks me what he has to do to win me back. I had already planned my answer, and I told him that it was impossible, we would never get back together because we just didn't work.
The conversation went something like this ...
"Nothing's impossible."
"Some things are."
"Prove it. Name something that's impossible. And I'll find a way to show you that it is possible"
I thought he was insane, and I aruged a bit more but I finally, in exasperation, told him that 2 could never equal one, nor one equal two. I thought I was being oh-so-clever.

At any rate, he sat at my desk for god knows how long and pulled an equation out of his butt that showed that two equaled one. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true. He came up with an equation that shows two equals one. Granted, two days later I found two things wrong with it, but at the time there wasn't anything wrong with it.

:bouncysmi I thought that was fairly romantic considering this is the guy who has yet to apologize for anything.

I attached the problem just for fun ...

[Infinite Grey]

The most romantic thing anyone has done for me... hmmm that would have to be when I was 20 and going out with a Russian girl who was an international student.

It was actually a weeks worth of sickeningly romantic acts, her room mate was on holidays so she had her dorm room to herself. On the second morning she some how managed to sneak out of the room while I was sleeping and woke me up a little later boasting most of my favourite breakfasts. I had mentioned the night before when we were chatting that I loved croissants and strawberries. She didn't know what type of croissant I like so she just bought all of them.

She spent a good two hours feeding these to me (I wasn't allowed to feed myself

:heybaby::) and neadless to say she didn't go to class that day ;)

I guess the way to a man's heart realy is through his stomach :rollingla

It may not sound terribly romantic, but she was very new to it all. I was her first boyfriend and first kiss and so on. But I was grinning ear to ear anyways.

[Suzette]

I think one of the most romantic things I have ever experienced is the thought that I inspired someone so much, that he writes songs and poetry about us...

Not to mention the songs and the poetry.

[RowanMegaera]

Ah, but here's why it is only "technically" the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me... come to find out he was completely obliterated and doesn't remember a single thing... ah well.

I should have realized something was up when he tried to give me his phone number with an empty ballpoint pen, finally ending up carving the number into the back of my hand when the ink wouldn't come... then when I finally found my friends and went to the bathroom (three hours later) he followed me in to make sure I still had his phone number... and he tried to teach me to two-step to "Margaritaville"

Very silly night... even if I am the only one who remembers it.

The most romantic thing ever was the first date with my hubby. I was 23 at the time, he was 27. We had already had one "date" fall through due to I couldn't call and tell him I was working!! So, one Sunday, March 7tth to be exact, he dropped by my place unexpectedly. We drove off with no destination or plan in mind. So, we drove around a bit, stopped at a store to get something to drink and they were selling Harley bandanas, pretty ones and cool ones. He bought me the two I really wanted. Then we went to Taco Bell for dinner, the to the movies and watched Army of Darkness. We drove the long way to a place called Fort Pierce Jetty and walked all the way down and back up, holding hands. Just before I was going to get in the car.....he kissed me for the first time!! I was in heaven!! I also caught an older couple staring at us.....that made me start laughing and we jumped in the car and took off. We then drove all the way back into our town and went to the beach. We went on to the boardwalk leading to the beach and were just standing there looking at the ocean under the full moon. He leaned over to kiss me and the next thing I knew.....we were dancing to our own music, kissing. We went down on the beach and looked for shells by moonlight and bic lighter. :)
It's now been 12 years together, 11 years married and one child together. I still have the bandanas hanging on my wall, Army of Darkness is our all time favorite movie and I still have those shells we found in a jar seperated from my massive collection of shells.

My Husband did the most romantic thing ever by moving himself from California to Ohio to be with me so that we could get to know each other better and so we could get married.

[Dio]

I love reading stories like this :)

Very nice!

[Bigboper123]

The one I currently care for lets me love her. {I am not refering to in bed since we are 429 miles apart} she has shared insight and parts of her life with me even though we just met. I am happy again because of her.

ahhh... how cute. Like... way too sweet but really cute. My version of that would be going up a bit earlier and wake someone up with coffee or tea or something. I'm insanely NOT romantic. Gee... :durrrr: I'm totally not your typical girl

[BabblingImp]

Well this isn't "romantic" But it made me feel speacail, last night I was talking to a well guy friend, and he found out I was sick, and he said "Oh, you poor baby, I'm soo sorry, pretty girls shouldn't ever be sick." I've only known him for about two months. The other thing was this boy I was roomies with after three months of fighting like brothers and sisters he told me I was beautiful, and the smartest girl he knew. Other than that nothing really, but they make me smile so yhea

[DandelionDame]

Oh MAN! I just read all 4 pages and got all sappy & girly.

The thing that immediately springs to mind is the first Christmas my sweetie and I were together, somehow without my knowing and the use of my Mom's sewing machine (and I didn't live with my parents, so he had to drive)... He MADE me a DRESS. A cute green courdoroy jumper. I still get all goofy when I think of that.

[forestrangergrrl]

don't know about romantic, but this one's really sweet....
my guy remembered that i like denny's restaraunt from our very first conversation on where to meet for the first time. i mentioned that there aren't anymore down here in cincy so he goes and looks them up and finds out that there's one still up in dayton. he took me there the following weekend. awwwwwww..... lol!

[Amethyst Rose]

Awwwww....... :D

My husband isnt' a romantic, by a long shot, but every once in a while he surprizes me. The one that really comes to mind was when we were still living in the Caribbean. I went into the living room to adjust the air conditioning, and he came up and gave me a hug, and we started swaying and dancing to imaginary music. I asked him what we were doing, and he said "Dancing. Sometimes it's nice to dance." Then he stopped, and looked at me and said "I love you. I know I don't say it often enough, but I really do." It still makes me melt thinking about it. :)

[QUEEN OF THE DAMNED]

(This is my definition of the most romantic thing)

Ever since I was 14 I've wanted a tattoo of the Metallica Star, I've always said that I'd like to get it done in Murray Bridge at the tattoo parlour there because I know the artists and I've seen alot of their work and seen it last.
I've been with my fiancee for 4 years and he must have taken notice of me saying the above bit once in our relationship because for my 21st birthday last year he took me to Murray Bridge and told me he had a surprise for me. I thought that he was planning a party with my friends there or something.
So we pull up and I see the tattoo shop, then we walk in there and I'm getting all excited and then he told the guy that we were here for the appointment. It was so sweet that he remembered how I wanted it done exactly and where and that he kept it a surprise. I was pretty nervous when I first realised that I had about 5 mins to talk myself into it, but it was so exciting and it was fun. I had a blast. He sat there the whole time talking to me and holding my hand, so sweet. Then he called a couple of my mates down there (without me knowing) and they came down to the tattoo shop and watched me get it done. It was so great and one time that it really was all about me. It's the sweetest thing that anyone's ever done for me. And I have a kick @$$ tattoo to show off for the rest of my life now.
