Well, I can remember that one night, while my wife and I were dating, I took her don to the beach with a blanket. I asked her to close her eyes. I laid out the blanket and then I guided her to sit down on it. Still with her eyes closed, I took out candles and placed all around the blanket and lit them. She opened her eyes and we just sat there holding each other, listen to the water, talked and of course kissed.

What I think is romantic and what others think is really subjective. Simply put, what I consider romantic is planning an event (whole day or a couple of hours), trip, date, etc that is completely unexpected and in a relaxing atmosphere, that both partners can enjoy.

I once woke up to an ex-boyfriend drawing me nude and asleep - he was an artist. He'd made fresh coffee and toast on a tray but he said that when he saw me sleeping he just couldn't wake me. I still have the drawing.

My grandparents were not openly affectionate, but I knew they always loved each other. My grandfather, especially, is always gruff on the outside, but my grandmother (god rest her soul) always had a special place in his heart. Right before she got sick, for their anniversary, he got her a sterling silver Hershey's Kiss necklace. He had it wrapped in pretty paper and told her even if they weren't always together, she would always have a kiss from him. (I still get teary eyed thinking about it!) It's obviously not the cost of the gift, but the gesture itself is priceless. And SO romantic. I made sure that when she passed, I got the necklace. Again, not because of its monetary value or family heirloom, but because of what it means to me. They were married just short of 60 years.

Ohh, I love this topic. I get to brag on my man I've known him for 20 years now and there are lots of things that could be classified as romantic, but the three that stand out the most in my mind are these:

When we were courting, he choreographed a dance to one of my favorite songs and performed it on my birthday with his dance partner. He had someone video tape it, so that I could go back and watch it whenever I wanted to. I still pull it out on occasion.

He was also the first man to ever give me a dozen roses.

For our 15th anniversary, he had someone lure me out of the house and then ordered dinner and decorated the kitchen to recreate the night he proposed to me.

What can I say - he's a keeper!

The things that I try to do for him are on a smaller scale, but I think they are appreciated just as much. I send him text messages at work, just to let him know I'm thinking of him. I'll write him a short note and hide it in his car or pants pocket. Sometimes when he's watching TV, I'll perch on the back of the couch and rub his shoulders. Little things, ya know that convey how much I love and appreciate him.

You are SO welcome! I also get teary- eyed when I think of it and that's why I love to share that story. All of you others- those are great stories too and I am so glad you shared them! It's nice to know that romance is not dead.
