I was curious what you considered romantic in your relationship.
I was thinking that I considered some pretty small things to be romantic.
An example, I hate refilling the sugar dispenser. Gabe almost always fills it. I was thinking about how he never gripes and just does it knowing it frustrates me to put the cap back on it. Not sure why I find it so romantic, but I hate this sugar dispenser, but love it too much to replace because he bought it for me. I picture him refilling it 20, 30 yrs from now.
:heartsm:
How about you?

I like the things like that too :)

Like when I have asked him to do something and I ACTUALLY find it done the next morning, it makes me swoon :D

I think it's romantic when he comes home with flowers (it's very rare!)

And when he gives me compliments about my shopping or couponing :D

And also when he makes me soup or a sandwhich when I'm sick :)

lets see..he brings me lunch everyday..gotta have my salad and he knows exactly how i like it..flowers for no particular reason..and he spoils me rotten on holidays..but i have to say when he hugs and kisses me by surprise is the best

Let me think...

1. When he comes up to the school during my lunch break so we can have lunch together.

2. When he bakes cookies for me.

3. When he massages my back.

Good timing for this question. :)

My DH did something that really hit the heart strings last night / this morning.

We have a 3 week old baby in the house and sleep is at a real premium at the moment. Last night, in order to let me get some extended sleep (beyond a 1 1/2 hour stretch :laugh: ) he got up and took Jonathan downstairs. I fully expected him to bring him back upstairs within an hour. Well at 6:30 this morning, I woke up because I heard the little on crying downstairs and realized that Steve hadn't brought him back upstairs at all! He had kept him downstairs with him all night long in order to let me get a "full" night of uninterrupted sleep! :laugh: in my "courting" days, I would never have equated romance = sleep but with three kids and a totally different outlook on life, I have come to realize that just about anything can be considered romantic if the timing is right! :)

This sounds weird, but it's when DH takes care of the whole family. For example, around Christmas time, my car blew its rear intake manifold gasket. We could have paid another mechanic to fix it (to the tune fo $300.00 or so) but DH had me bring it in to his work and he fixed it while the boys rode their bikes in the shop parking lot (it was closed so there was no safety issue here). It took him an hour or so out of a very busy schedule. Did I "thank" him that night? You betcha!:jabber: :hubba: :hubba:

After just getting home from a long hot camping trip, and unloading what needed to be. then being tired,burned and cranky which hubby was just as tired or more so, than me, after showering he brushed out my hair which is always a tangled mess after a shower even with conditioner...that made my nite.....

He insisted we take my mom on our 2 day getaway this weekend and he would not allow her to open her wallet. She has helped us out a lot lately and needed to get away so it worked out great.
He buys me art supplies without any reason
He never leaves the house without a kiss and telling me he loves me.

The little things mean so much more than the big!Like when he vaccums for me on the weekends.Or when he brags about my frugality to coworkers.Or when he'll fix me a peanut butter sandwich cause I want one.Or just calls me up out of the blue from work to see how I'M doing.

My hubby does so much for me I dont know where to start. But I think the most romantic thing is when I was at work he would send me 2 dozen roses and say it was just because!!!

The little things are what I think are romantic. Dh brings me a strawberry Nehi (one of my fav pops) home from work every now and then, without me asking, and it makes my day. Just to know that he thought of me on his way home from work. A diamond couldn't make my happier. :)

I like the little things he does:

- calls me from work to tell me he loves me
- writes little notes and leaves them for me to find
- lets me watch my shows on tv ;)
- watches the puppy while I nap
- brings home roses for me just because

Mine would be doing an unexpected thing to help around the house, helping with the kids, dishes laundry, or anything without me asking, he will do anything I ask him to be to do it with out being asked now that is romance to me....

He calls me during my work day and If he finds that I've been having a bad day, he will run me a bath after he gets home from work, just in time for me to enjoy it.

I love unexpected hugs and kisses!

Probably the sweetest thing is he will brush my hair for me every night before bed, and help braid it for me (I have some back problems and it hurts me to keep my arms up for very long)

Sometimes I'll just be sitting around and he'll all of a sudden decide we're going out and having some fun! Today in fact he suprised me by taking me out for a good lunch!

I think I'll let my fiance read this thread... maybe he will get some ideas! LOL You guys have great men!

I guess my idea of romantic would be bringing me a single rose... or even just a silly lil gift from the gas station. Little things make me happy... just knowing he thought about me. :)

When he takes me out for seafood I know I am special and that to me is romantic. He hates seafood. ;)

When dh holds my hand on one of our walks. And all of the little things throughout the day that he does for me that are so thoughtful.:smball:

I find the little things romantic.

When sees I am tired and stressed from work, he cooks dinner for us.
He always tells how sexy I am.
Every morning before we leave for work, he gives me a hug and kiss.
When we both return from work, he gives me another hug and kiss.
He always holds my hand when we go somewhere!
He sends flowers and gift baskets to my work just because!!
He gives great massages!!!
