I dated an Italian man from Malta for a while, he was a sweetheart, unfortunately he had issues with paying attention to me or talking to me for months at a time, so it ended. He, however, did do the sweetest thing for me ever.
There's a lot of things I can't eat. Not so much anymore, but fish, tomatoes, and mushrooms pretty much sum it up. We were at a pre-con house party, and he made it so the men were cooking that night. He didn't know about my eating issues, and someone didn't tell him until they were halfway done cooking...I didn't have the heart, he was having so much fun playing master chef.
Well, when he found out, he felt terrible, and proceeded to make me a special second dish, a chicken/shrimp and rice dish. (someone apparently knew Shrimp I -can- eat, where he got the chicken and shrimp, I'm not sure) So they called us out for dinner on the patio, and I was feeling kind of bummed, knowing he'd be disappointed I wouldn't eat much.
He had arranged for a seperate table (though close enough we could talk to the others at the long table if we wanted to) and had candles, and some nice wine, fancy glasses and everything. I was so surprised! He then kissed me on the neck and told me that this meal was specially for me, and told me about it. I was simply impressed! Not many show me this kind of courtesy, they usually just tell me to eat it and shut up.
He pulled my chair for me, and we had a nice candlelight dinner in the lovely scenery of a more wooded Tennessee backdrop. I still talk to the guy, but he's definitely interested in just doing his thing, and I respect that. He definitely holds "sweetest thing done for me" award atm though.
Double post: Sweetest thing someone's done for me? Someone asked if I wanted them to blow me for like, 6 months. They didn't get the hint. Aside from that, nothing worth mentioning. That wasn't worth it, except for a few laughs someone may get.
I'm one of those hopeless romantic types. I've had one girlfriend, and she asked me to be hers and not the other way around. So in short, I've never done anything intensely romantic as far as I can tell. Although, one time on Valentines Day I gave a girl a dozen pink roses(pink's her favorite color) with no name on them, and not expecting anything from it. They were in a nice vase too. Placed them on her desk, it was a few years ago in high school. She flipped out(in the good way) when she found it they were from me, but uh, apparently I have the worst timing/luck/style/something. Some guy that same day gave her a stuffed animal, and off she was to be his girlfriend.
That's about it, really. All in all, I really don't emote tenderness/romance unless I'm writing my poetry. I've written poems for and about women. I think that falls in the "trying too hard" or "Fake-gentleman" category as far romance goes though.
Also, some of the personal stories in this forum are very heart warming. I like this forum.
I tutored her for her SATs. I taught her how to write an essay. She went from hopeless in writing essays to the top of her class, almost. I'm going to help her in every college app.
I brought her hot chocolate with peppermint sticks to stir it with when she was down. I'd bring her out to lunch during class hours to listen to her vent. I helped her gain a sense of confidence. She's the one who got away! /hopeless romantic
Made my eyes tear up, and brought up a lot of past demons..

And she almost forgot to sign my yearbook.

Nobody likes someone who is readily available to you 100% of the time. At least, I don't. If I'm told that a girl is really into me, and I know it, then I usually get bored with it. If I find a girl that I think I'd be interested in, start hanging out with her, then she gives me signs that she's into me, it's a lot more exciting. As far as dating is concerned(and high school shouldn't be about you finding a spouse), no chase = no fun.
Also, if she likes you from the start, she'll have on cherry colored glasses every time she sees you. She'll constantly be biased about who you are and will be more forgiving on things that she would normally be appalled by. Once the relationship starts to settle in, these things come into full view and simply become an annoyance of hers.
What I'm saying is.. I'm sure it works the other way around as well. She's not going to want you if you're sitting there constantly available to her. Go on the prowl, date other people while you help her out with her ***. Don't expect something from her just because you helped her do her homework.
In this scenario you're "Designated Driver Dan". The dude who will always be willing to go out of your way and break your own plans for a chick who plans on having a good time with other people.
I was 16, and I thought I had met the girl of my dreams.
Her dream was to go into broadway, and see a nice broadway show, I of course liked broadway shows, so I listened to her for a few months, and then decided what show I should take her too. She had her heart set on seeing the little mermaid, she was in love with it. Had the DVD, made me watch it on several occasions, but I didn't mind, after all she was the love of my life.
Over the course of those months, I had worked as many hours as my job would allow, and picked up as much extra odd jobs as I could to get a nice income to allow for the perfect evening.
Now you must realize, at 16, this was a lot of money that I was about to drop. I would make the 1 year anniversary of a lifetime.
I...
-Bought her a pink dress that she had been dreaming over for far to long
-Bought her brand new shoes to match
-Got a Limo to take us into NYC, to a restaurant called Nobu(She adored sushi)
-Had the Limo then take us to Broadway, where we would watch The Little Mermaid on the main stage
-The Limo would then take us to the pier, where we would go on a guided helicopter tour over NYC.
-Then the Limo would take us home, where I had baked a little cake for us to eat at her house.
All in all, I would say that was the most romantic thing I have ever done for a woman.

Actually, to be fair, one of the major factors was that apparently she's not culturally allowed to date me and she couldn't bear to tell me.
Okay so - the story goes, a friend of mine has decided it is time for him to get married - he is planning to propose at the start of the new year, now he asked me 'cute, romantic or sweet ways' in which he could do it. Now when he told me, the first thing that came to me was 12 years, 12 roses, then it hit me.
My plan was for him to buy 12 roses (one for every year they have been together so far) and replace one of the roses with a fake/plastic one, he could then add a message saying 'I will love you till the last rose dies; will you marry me.'
This is probably the most romantic gesture i have ever thought of, i know kinda stupid really - if you've got any ideas, or wanna share a story, please do (:
Yes, before anyone decides to mention it i know this is a gaming forum don't both posting unless you have something nice to comment on.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
