Romantic Gestures

[MorningStar]

I'm trying to do more romantic gestures for my husband, like picking up his favorite treats at the store, making him special dinners, remembering to compliment him, etc. What are some things you do for your spouse and what things have they done for you that made you feel loved?

My wife now hits me with the pillow in the morning instead of the alarm clock

Does that count ?

Yes. That is a definite sign of affection. If she pushes you off of the bed and throws cold water on you, then you'll know for sure you've won her heart forever.

I did the special meals thing too...I used to love to get all his white/dress shirts washed and ironed just so, and hang them in a row in his closet... they looked so nice and sparkling when he'd open his closet. He travelled a lot... sometimes I'd tuck a card or note in with his clothes where he'd find it...Garden Girl

This is something that I'd love my husband to work on. I know he loves me but I'd love for him to find ways to express it other than say it back when I say it first. His own family never did anything like that and I think they all just took each other for granted. Even lesser holidays like Father's Day or Mother's Day go unnoticed by them. I can't blame him for not learning it when he was a kid, but I can still wish that he'd find creative ways to express his love.

For example, usually for Christmas or my birthday he gets me a video game that he happens to like too. That way he can play it as well. Some men just don't have a romantic bone in their body. *LOL*

A good wrestlin' match between the sheets is the most romantic thing I can think of.

Probably the best thing we came to realize about each other, is that we each had very different things that made us feel loved. If you're not familiar with the concept of 'love languages', I heartilly suggest the book the Five Love Languages to you.

It sure was nice to figure out that there was nothing wrong with either of us, we just had to learn to do what the other really wanted, instead of just assuming the other liked what we did.

Reminds me of a relative of mine. Start buying him girly lotions for Christmas. He'll start to get the picture. Once my dad bought me "Top Gun" for Nintendo after I specifically told him I didn't want it. He bought it anyway and my brother and him stayed up until 2am playing my game. So Father's Day came and my mom told me to buy him Peter Pan on VHS, which I did. He opened it and said, "What a stupid gift!" I laughed sooooo hard. Then I watched it. Bwah hahahahaaaaa!!!!

I have all sorts of funny replies for this, but I can't bring myself to say them.

Get your mind out of the gutter, MS. I was literally talking about wrestling, ya sicko.

[Canuck Mormon]

Our bed's too high off the ground for wrestling. Someone could get hurt.

Back to the topic, my wife shows me that she loves me by NOT suffocating me when my snoring wakes her up.

Well in that case, my husband wouldn't find wrestling very romantic because I always win.

I don't stand a chance against my wife either. :)

Ditto....she'd kick my butt. She's a good one for body slamming me when I'm on her side. She don't take no crap. I trained her well!!! :)

When she makes roast beef w/ all the carrots and potatoes I know I'm being thought of.

My hubby finds where I've parked the car/motorcycle/truck in the various lots and decorates the living daylights out of it. I love it because I know Godiva's waiting for me at home. I write little "luv ya's" on the mirror in the bathroom, so when he takes his shower the message comes thru and he sees it. We've also been remodelling the house and he shows me he loves me when he takes my ideas and uses them.....vice versa. For those of you who are local, you'll have to see our house when we're done.

We men let you women win. It helps your self-esteem and gets us what we want later.

Speak for yourself. My wifey poo could kick the poo out of most men if she'd put her mind to do it. She scares me.. LOL I have to post this since she has been following my tracks all over this board. She is watching me post and I think she thinks I'm up to something. HEHE

You are wise.

I think the most romantic thing I can do for my wife is to do the dishes for her.

[ztodd]

Ok, ok, I guess I'll go do the dishes. :)

Making so called romantic gestures to a man, is like trying to spit against the wind. Cant be done. But after many years of my wife doing lots and lots of "romantic" gestures toward me i have finally come to the realization that she loves me. And it took many instances of doing "man" stuff for me to get it. I:E.... lifting heavy things for me when i couldnt e.t.c.... But when it comes to "romantic gestures" you might as well plan on being in for the long haul! Men just do not think as woman do in this department. {unless you want to mow the yard for him?}

I'm reviving this for Valentine's Day.

For a man, what makes the ultimate Valentine's Day? I mean, besides that one thing. Last year I made my husband an awesome steak dinner, chocolate covered strawberries, dessert, and I think we watched a movie or something.

I know some men would prefer not to celebrate it at all. Poo on that.
