In honor of the month of đź’—LOVEđź’—, I thought I would ask all who would like to participate....How did/do you woo your partner?

This thread may die or it may thrive. I just wanted some ideas of what has been done to grasp the attention of the interest or possible significant other. As honest and innocent as this was set out, please share your sincere attempt(s) to attract her/him. Creativity is welcome!

I took a chance on a blind date. The rest was fate I guess. Call it that or "love at first sight".

Taking a chance was the key. That was my first and last blind date.

Nice...please share the details of the date as you remember them that led to you knowing....this is the one for me.
 
I met my fiancé on kik. I joined a group he was admin of, I sent him my photo to verify and we started chatting and found we lived just 15 minutes from each other. He asked me to meet him for a drink and I agreed. I was super jaded and wasn’t looking for anything, I didn’t want to get hurt again. But I’ll be damned if this man didn’t put his hand on my face and say “I know you’ve been hurt. I know you’re not ready to love, but I love you and I haven’t felt this way about someone since my wife died.” I remember that moment clear as day. He kept working on me and finally one night after a couple drinks I told him, “I don’t want to, but I can’t help it - I love you, too.” A few weeks later he asked me to marry him and I said yes. We’ve had some rough patches and learning curves, but I love this man like crazy. There’s a country song called “In Case You Didn’t Know”, I requested it one night when we were out dancing and I let the song talk for me.
 
That was so heartfelt...awwwwww...thank you so much for sharing.


Just to let others know, it doesn't have to be things typed, gifs are welcome too.
 
I don't think I've ever wooed anyone. They just sort of find me!
 
Wow....no one wants to share what was done to get the interest's attention?

Here's my take on it...

I was completely enamored with this guy in art class. He could draw very well. I began goofing off around his picture instead of drawing my own. He was beautiful to me. Chiseled cheek bones, light brown and hazel colors in both eyes. He smelled of cool water cologne. He was a little taller than me, about 5'6. He always wore a red jacket and blue jeans. I began sitting behind him on his long stool admiring his pictures. He was very talented. He was around my age at that time, 2 or 3 years out of high school (a hundred years ago).

At the metro station bus stop, I saw him. I was not dressed as I should have been for the weather. I didn't have a heavy enough jacket. It was fall, about late October. He was talking with his male friend and saw me waiting near the front of the line for the bus to take us to the college. He saw I was shivering, he gave me his jacket to wear until the bus came. He went back to talking with his male friend right afterwards. When the bus came, I gave him back his jacket and thanked him.

In class we: myself, him and two other guys, always talked about nonsensical stuff. We all hung around each other. I was their wingwoman. Any female in class they wanted to know about, they'd ask me. I'd set up a way for them to meet. Rodney was his name. He never asked about any female in class. He always sat within one or two people of me, if not right next me. I was too awkward at that time to realize he kind of liked me back. I found wrapped up chocolates on my easel around beginning February 1st. I never knew who gave me those things. By the 14th, I received a tiny stuffed animal, chocolates and sweets and leading up to that day, I received a movie ticket in an envelope and a request to attend the movie with him was written inside. It was free, but you had to stand in line for the tickets. It was in an envelope on my stool near my easel. It was so sweet what he had done.
 
I'd like to think it was the overall package that got Mrs. PR excited about me. But I know that my piano playing and singing ability didn't hurt. We had been dating for about three months and she went with me to my uncle's wedding, where I was the piano player for the service. Well on the way home, she let me know how much she enjoyed that, so I made sure that she had other opportunities to hear me perform.

Married now nearly 37 years, and I can still get her to stop whatever she's doing when I start to play one of "our" songs. Music has a very strong influence in our lives, and I've thanked my mom MANY times for making me take piano lessons when I was a kid!
 
I've always had a "light hand" when wooing someone I wanted to be in a relationship with. What I mean by that is - when I am pursuing a sexually driven relationship, I tend to be intense and direct. But, when I am after someone for a long term relationship, I approach it differently.

We live in a hectic, busy and stressful world, so I tend to make the first date(s) very low key. I've lived here for thirty years (not counting the times I was keeping two residences due to work), so I know all the small and hidden places that are off the radar. I like to take them to those hidden places - which tend to be quiet places where there is "space" for a conversation, "space" to just be yourself.

In my last long term relationship, it was two of those spaces that hooked her - a hidden coffee shop (literally, it's downstairs under an Italian place and the only way in is through a door and stairwell behind a movie theatre) that tends to draw an eclectic crowd and then a jazz bar tucked into a hotel. I took her to those places and introduced her to a world she didn't know existed right around her.

Then, I listen when in conversation (LOL and because I am totally anal, I actually write down notes after the date), and wooed her by making the dates about her - she loved poetry, so taking her to poetry readings. She loved music so taking her to explore the live music scene. I try to make small surprises part of the wooing, so there are moments of joy and wonder that are unexpected.

Then, on the flip side, I make it a point to be honest and open (I can be very guarded personally and professionally). For me, it's all about creating a contextual environment that allows the person I am wooing to open up and allows me to open up.

Most of the traditional wooing things I avoid - they're expected. I want her to understand that life with me is not an "expected" life. That I do my best to live an unexpected life and she's welcome to join me there.

All in all, I have a totally different approach when wooing (love) and fucking (lust). The fucking is part of the wooing of course, but never the core part. The core part is the simple beauty of being human, of loving and trusting someone else.
 
Bumping this back to page1 because the stories are compelling!

More please?

Thank you:rose::rose::rose:

Thank you to all who contributed but I know there's got to be more of who could contribute. For females, how were you courted? For men, how would you woo a partner....one who you captures your attention and takes your breath away. All are welcome.

It nice to see how or what men and women experience as they are courted, wooed or the possible SO's attention is grasped and held to keep their focus on you or them.
 
Hi Sweetheart! I love your new thread - such a sweet, sexy idea! Rooowwwrrr!:kiss::heart:

In the days when I would do serious romancing, I've been sort of conventional - send flowers to work (where her work friends can be jealous). Private and intimate is one thing, but making her shine extra brightly in her world is, to me, showing that I'm not afraid to show everybody how special she is to me.

And a nice picnic on a blanket overlooking the Pacific, with wine, light food and maybe playing a few ballads on the guitar have always gotten extra tight hugs and extra wet kisses.
 
One of the first times I was "Woo'd" as an adult started off like this:

A friend of mine was trying to set me up with a friend of hers on a blind date. I really didn't like the idea of a blind date and I was being difficult. She asked me what he could do to make me feel comfortable meeting him. I said, have him call me and we can talk.

He called me at work shortly after. We talked for a little while and he sounded interesting. When he asked if there was anything else he could do to convince me he was a "good, upstanding guy." Kiddingly, I said, "Send me your resume."

Two days later, he sent me flowers with a copy of his resume attached. He won me over and I went on the blind date with him. I like a good sense of humor. There wasn't any spark there and we didn't date, but he did a good job at the "Woo" part of things.

I threw peanuts down her shirt :D Give me a break, it was 9th grade. She says it was the peanuts, the blond hair, the blue eyes, and that I was a surfer, lol (I married her eleven years later)

Ohhh...that reminded me of something...A very sweet and sexy young man once tossed peanut M&M's down my shirt from across a room. He dunked the first one from about 20 feet away. That was our introduction to each other. We dated for a few months after that. He was fun.

Thanks for bringing back that memory. I had completely forgotten about it. Now, I'm wondering where he is and what he's doing. I hope he's happy! :rose:
 
Hi BCC :)

What a great idea for a thread. I love thinking back on things like this. One experience that sticks out to me is when I had to be in a hotel overnight to visit family. My husband had two dozen roses waiting for me in my hotel room when I got there. It was such a sweet gesture and I’ll never forget it.

Just little things like that which let me know I’m on his mind. :)
 
How did I woo my hubby Ron...

I ignored him. I went to work in a club where he was the DJ. This was in the early 80's. About an hour into my shift, he came down from the booth to get a drink. He spoke to me and smiled, got his drink and went back to work. It took about 30 seconds before one of the other girls told me to watch out for him. She said he'd wine and dine and that would be the last you'd hear from him.

So I ignored him. But I watched him constantly from the floor. He was in the Army so he had the short hair, clean shaven and I kept imagining him both in and out of a uniform. Being the alpha that he was, my ignoring him drove him nuts. He'd chat me up every chance he got. He lived on Pac-Man before and after work so I'd stop by and just watch occasionally but never say anything.

I grabbed his undivided attention when I started dating John, one of our bartenders. John didn't hesitate to rub it in to Ron. It drove him nuts. I didn't find out till much later but Ron made John a $10 bet that he'd have a date with me by the weekend. Ron asked me to dance to "Sugar Daddy" on Wednesday night. During the dance, he asked me out Sunday night. I accepted.

Thirty seven years later, here we are.

How did I solve the wine and dine problem and not calling the next day?
I stayed till Wednesday!

BTW, Ron never did get this $10. :D
 
*Smiling* These are so nice....thank you all for sharing.

I do believe I mentioned this before on a different thread a while ago:

It was a busy morning. On our way the metro station on the bus, amidst loud talking, laughing and the regular noises of traffic heard...a voice so clear was heard. As he began singing, every woman on the bus looked in his direction. He was facing his girlfriend. In an instant, a rowdy bus became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. This was the song:

https://youtu.be/sf8GcJEeJd4

It was so pure and rich, every woman was shedding tears with the look, "I wish he was singing to me". He sang it acapella and sounded BETTER than the singer.

My husband was a blind date that my sister set me up with after I had a really bad relationship that left me not wanting anything to do with the opposite sex, at least for a while, I was DONE with men.

He worked with my brother in law so at least my sister and BIL knew him fairly well, so I said yes with no intention of anything happening, it was just something to do on a Friday.

WORST DATE EVER!! I hated him! He was good looking, but the personality of a womanizing asshole. I had to take him home because he had lost his license from a DUI. :rolleyes:

So I drop him off and he told me that this wasn't over and we'd see each other again. I told him to get the fuck out of my car. He did and I didn't see him until about 5 months later at my ex boyfriends house. LOL

I had nothing to do so I went and the womanizing asshole shows up with my sister and BIL.

I don't know exactly what changed but the way he looked at me was like nobody had ever looked at me before. We had some strong words but it was like a dance and for the first time in my life, I felt comfortable with a man. I felt like he was mine. I don't really know how to say it right, but here we are 34 years later and we still like each other, not just love, but we dig each other.

I don't know if that answers the question, but that's what happened to me. No games, we were just honest with each other.
