Since someone said that some men think that taking out the trash is romantic I thought I'd give everyone a place to share some of the romantic acts and gestures they've done.
In my last relationship before getting married to my wife I used to write some poetry for my girlfriend at the time who considered it a romantic gesture. I'd never really been into writing poetry something about her inspired the poet in me.
Before my wife and I were married we took a trip to Yosemite for a conference in November. While we were there we walked into one of the shops there that has a lot of native American items. My wife fell in love with a really cool pot that had bison on it including a stylized white ghost bison. However she thought it was too expensive and didn't want to buy it. Later on we went back to the lodge and I said I had to use the rest room which was in another section of the lodge. I ran to the store, bought the pot and arranged to pick it up later on. After doing that I convinced my wife to go back and buy the pot which I knew would be gone. She decided that she wasn't meant to have the pot. I went back picked up the pot and then hid it in the Ford Escort we were driving at the time. I managed to keep it hidden from her. I wrapped it up as her Christmas gift and when we opened presents in front of the family she was flabbergasted that she had the pot she loved, but then she knew how sneaky I was capable of being.
For my wife's birthday and our anniversary I always get a blank card and write my feelings in it before I give it to her. She loves my cards and really appreciates them. She usually forgets our anniversary so the card is always a pleasant surprise for her.
