Romantic Gestures

[Canuck Mormon]

Well, for the past 5 days, and going until the 14th, my wife has/is giving me a little romantic gift everyday. Yesterday it was little chocolate hearts.

For Valentines day, we are ordering in Chinese food and relaxing at home. It'll be different from last year, mainly because I proposed last year.

Awwwww! Your wife sounds so nice. I think staying in for Valentine's Day is fun. During the day, my kids love to help me coat the strawberries with chocolate. It's become a tradition now. I've been doing a lot more fun things with the holidays.

This is the complete and full text of a love letter, sent to Tanya

a Russain woman by an American man just before Memorial Day:

Tanya, it is early Sunday morning and tomorrow is our labor-day

holiday. So I have another day off! ahh! goodness.. so how have you

been? let's see.. it's sunday night, so you are getting ready for your

week? how is teaching? anything exciting happening? are you seeing

someone special? I too await hearing from you, as it is a unique

experience for me to speak with someone so and so warm. I have no

idea what life is like for you. In American media, there is little

representation of your area. On the maps it looked quite lovely but

it's hard to understand much about the important things from a map. I

do hope that you are enjoying your time.. the time that we are apart,

in our minds so that when we are close, close enough to kiss that it

is more special for you.

Recently, I have been contemplating history and our people. America

is such a diverse place that it's special to me to speak with and

share conversations with someone from the heartland of our people. I

say our people, even though I am not a bit Russian(that I know of)

because, here.. that is a relative term and here it encompasses, all

of our peoples. I was looking at world maps the other day and was

taking an interest in Australia as a growing place, a place for a new

start; a place that has much growing to do without a doubt but still a

place to help develop and a safe place for peoples children.

I can do nothing but trust that you are exactly as you describe, as am

I. I know that Russia has a great history of intellectuals and chess

players. So I can only hope that there is not enough fun in

corresponding with me, if you are not as you describe. We both know

that the Internet is a place where people are often not as they

describe and for some, that is a source of great amusement. I am

sorry to say that I do, have reservations but that, in my mind, I

believe that your time is too valuable to yourself and to your family

for you to waste in deception.

Forgive me if this letter is not of the affectionate type that you

have been looking for, but to me, it is a love letter of the true'st

sort. You mentioned that you were reading some interesting books??

what is on your bookshelf this week? of course, I would love to take

you to dinner and chat with you for hours in whatever way we could

about anything that would make you smile but, we are not close enough

to touch, for the moment and you cannot feel my hand stoking your

cheek, nor a kiss to your forehead. Though you may not feel them,

know that I am close.

Yours truly,

. . .

I've always dreamed that my future husband (who I havn't met yet, hahaha) will play the song "Good Morning Beautiful" for me one day as I wake up. *sigh*

My DH really listens to what I say. Like, Ill mention a particular topic Ive got into lately, and a few weeks later he'll have a wrapped present for me waiting at home-it will be a book on that topic or a DVD Ive mentioned I like. That means a lot as it shows he really listens to what I say and is thoughful enough to put it into a gesture of love.

For him, I sometimes write him little notes for when he gets home if Im working late, or leave them on his pillow if Im doing a night-he does that to me too and I find them in the morning. Mostly, Ill send him nice texts telling him how gorgeous I think he is and that he's got a nice meal waiting for him when he gets home.

OK this is a good topic, ive been married for 2 years now and we treat everyday like its a first date, do you know puppy love, little notes, flowers, complaments, stuff like that. thats what we do all the time. as for me i love to play PC games, my wife loves them too so we play Titan Quest together and some first person shooters. lets face it there are some things she likes that i dont. and that goes both ways. but we both dont deny each other the things we like. for us Romance starts at marrage. some things he might like are - massage get some oils and candels, switch the TV off. what about a picnic you got to do something 1s a week that is special just the 2 of you, what about dancing lessons, your weekly early morning walk, nice time to chat. do something that will become a normal weekly activity. sorry going off the track abit, go for a picnic in the park and have a braai, here are some other romanic ideas :::: -----
