A handwritten letter. A poem. A story. A painting or piece of art. A mix tape. Something you did with your own heart and hands expressly for the person you love.

:yes:


These are the only kinds of gestures that denote genuine sincerity/expression to me.

Suppose that makes sense. Creativity=expression of feeling.


As far as an evening goes.. well.. just talking. Connecting. We could be doing anything else along with it. Or just talking. Till sunrise, til we pass out, stretched out on the floor/balled up uncomfortably on a couch together. On opposite ends, not even needing to touch.

Creation is always an act of love. From children to art. An expression of love that is an assertion of life itself.

Agreed. Nothing is more romantic than talking and connecting with my woman.

Two people reading in the same room all night quietly who go to bed and have really amazing sex. You know maybe they ordered a pizza and had some ice cream too.

Yes, very quiet evening, really get deep into myself and my internal feelings, then sex----Then chatter like magpies and have cold pizza! :D

Edit: Oh I was supposed to give a romantic gesture!

Backrub, a rose or a thoughtful book. All great romantic gestures.

For breaky?? I don't know about you and your hubby, but I never schedule anything after sex except "Comatose".

Husband gets brainstorms after sex, has to talk and talks about EVERYTHING.

I'd say that definitely merits filling him with foods to silence him. :D

Romantic gesture - Having a book read to me, a note .. or something that has required a few minutes time.

An evening - A pizza (homemade of course), a movie (preferably comedy) then wild rampant sex (if no sex, then talking will do until we both fall sleep).

Need more female input here .. i think ;)

Um, taking a long walk to a river while talking, followed by a quiet moment sitting on a fallen tree next to the river taking in the moment together, followed by an equally long walk back, followed by dinner :D

romantic gesture:

for me: being given a single red rose out of the blue. It means that he thought of me while he was out and about in the world :blush:
for him: Giving him a massage after a tough day after cooking his favorite meal to help him relax.

romantic evening:

We sometimes put our bed in the living room in front of the tv, for an entire sunday, and do nothing but watch movies, snuggle, make love and eat in the bed. Utter bliss...

Alternatively, we often go out to the movies with a romantic dinner beforehand. I know it's cliche, but the only way to get him ranting and talking is to get him somewhere where he can relax, be spoiled and have nothing else distracting him. It is the best way to have an intimate talk without being distracted by household chores, daily life and what not. Then afterwards, we can snuggle up in the movie theatre ;)
