    When I first met guy, I knew I needed to find a way of making him want me forever. So, over the past year, I’ve been perfecting the art of romance and tricking him into thinking he can’t live without me. It's working. So pay attention ladies.

    First, when he’s showering, I take his towel, put it in the dryer to warm it up, then place it in the bathroom for him in the shape of a heart… this shows my love for him.

    Secondly, I take pictures of him when he’s not looking… especially when he’s sleeping. I send him those pictures of himself throughout the day so that he knows I’m always thinking of him.

    Third, I keep a list of things he likes and make sure I have them on hand whenever I see him… like Peanut Butter Cups and IPA’s.

    Fourth, I try to prepare his toothbrush for him each morning so that he knows I care enough to save him the exertion of having to do so himself.

    Last, but certainly most importantly, I make sure we always have adequate love igloo time. Each day, we huddle under a blanket, pretend we’re in an igloo, and discuss our day, our dreams, and our sexual fantasies. That keeps us so close with an inseparable bond no one could ever break.

    And that, my friends, is how I keep the romance alive.

    Not all guys like this kind of stuff. I think my hubby would rather have me sit down next to him during a football game and ask if he traded someone on his fantasy football than for me to put the toothpaste on his brush. Seems like (s)mothering, but to each their own.


    It's totally not smothering! This is doctor and Cosmopolitan tested, proven advice. You MUST start prepping his toothbrush for him! Trust me, he's gonna love it!

    I have no issues with what people do in the privacy of their own homes... I just have to wonder how someone decides it should be shared with a large group of faceless strangers... Like... there you are... sitting in front of a computer.. or staring into your phone... and suddenly you say to yourself... "I bet the world wants me to share this..." WHEN the reality is Umm no...keep that *kitten* to yourself... besides anyone with a modicum of talent and imagination could scribble down that nonsense...

    Your comment and avatar picture match perfectly. I can totally imagine you saying this with that face.

    Have to say these were not the responses I was hoping for.

    Not sure how romantic you will think this is, but here goes. For the last year i've had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. He has always been super supportive and has always helped me in any way he can. Lately, I've gotten really depressed about the weight i've gained due to not being able to take care of myself like i'd like. I recently put in my notice at the second job, so i'm down to one job now (yay!) but that means the budget just got a lot smaller for me. He knows all of this and this past weekend took me out and bought me some kettlebells and resistance bands. All complete with training on how to use them (he's an ex powerlifter). I thought it was so sweet and supportive of him to do that for me and it really showed me how much he cares about me and my health and well being.

    Oh, and he massaged my sore muscles afterwards :wink:

    Probably because I have social/emotional issues due to having been raised in a religious cult in Alaska... pretty much cut off from all society outside our "church family." Not kidding. Some 15 years after getting out, still figuring out how the world really works.

    Yeah, this.

    I have a cousin that just had a baby... and she posted this big long novel on her husband's FB wall with tons of intimate details about what a wonderful father he is, etc... and it's like, isn't he sitting on the couch next to you right now? Drives me nuts.

    If my man entered the bathroom and opened the curtain on me while I showered I certainly would want something more than a choc. covered cherry in my mouth. I would be offended if that is all I got. :ohwell:

    Apparently I need to step up my game. The only thing I've ever slipped into my wife's bath was a toaster.

    That is absolutely romantic! He knows it's something important to you, and put a lot of thought and effort into finding something that would help you achieve your goals, not just something that would help him into your pants, which - let's just be honest - sometimes that's what a "romantic gesture" really is ;)

    I can honestly say that I have never once felt that was the motivation behind anything he's ever done for me. And in turn, he's never had to try for that... :wink:

    The other option is that they are a hater, disliking the sweet, prefering the bitter. Your post was sweet and romantic, and they want to rain on your parade. They yell TMI all day, except when discussing what sex positions they use with some radom person while on their rag. But, that's just my perspective, I could be wrong. Don't let the haters bring you down!

    Does my hubby buying me Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare count as a romantic gesture? lol. He's too grossed out by germs to ever pass food into my mouth from his. He did do something for me recently, but mentioning it would earn me a strike :blushing:

    He's my "ex" but he still rubs my feet for me while I fall asleep, almost every night. Sometimes, after I fall asleep, he'll do the dishes and let the dog out. I'm pretty sure he's the best ex-boyfriend ever. :)
