I had this strange dream last night about someone trying to be romantic and sweep me off my feet, but they failed.

I'm not going into details, but I woke up with a question in my head that I thought would make a good NS thread.

What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?

What's the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?

Have you / someone else ever tried to do something romantic and it failed, miserably? (If so, what happened?)

.. Go on then.... type away...

Give me a day or two. I'm about to mess up bad, I know it...

What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?

Remembered their name.. went worse than the (one) other time that I couldn't remember.. :( Total meltdown. Actually kinda funny in hindsight..

Jeez that's bad.

I've had someone call out someone elses name mid act... i pretty sure i threw him out half dressed.

Hm.. I think I might have blurred the context there a bit.. I was referring to conversations gone horribly awry.. nothing scandalous. :p I'd probably have preferred a private spectacle to a public one, although maybe not. :)

I came home from college over Valentine's Day weekend so I could be with my then bf who was terribly ill.

When I was leaving for college, the same boyfriend gave me a necklace. He said it was sort of a good luck charm for him, and that it would keep me safe and remind me of home.

The first time I tried to kiss a boy, he pulled back, looked at me, and said incredulously, "what was that for?!" That was one way to kill my ego.

I'm having a 4 carat diamond ring made for my three month anniversary, with the words "pour toujours" (forever/for always) inscribed inside the band. -We have a running theme where she says "keep me" and I reply "pour toujours", based on our first date when I said "I'm going to keep you, forever". It's corny, but cool.

well i suppose I should offer up some of mine

I once cooked dinner for my then fiance for his birthday, but to make it all special I lined the way to the table and to the bed room with rose petals (he was a romantic kind of guy and appreciated it) and there was expensive wine etc

I wrote a poem for the next boyfriend and had it printed up on nice paper and hard backed

most romatic thing I've ever received was a drawing of a road in the hills that he did himself, and there was a tree by the side of the road and he carved our initials in a heart in the tree.. and at the bottom he wrote "I'm on this road with you and I'm not sure where it's going, but I love you and I'm in it for the long haul"... meh.. we broke up 4 months later.

Cant think of any blunders ..I'll come back on that one

3 months anniversary and she gets that?

bloody hell

but that is very nice :)

Holy Christ.. 4 carat? I think I could pawn everything I own and still be a mile off that kind of pricetag.. Pretty cool though if you'e found someone you're that into.

It's only because she's good at kinky sex :p

kidding

I don't believe in romance, so I can't really post my own experiences here.

Ouch.

I've never done anything romantic. Not that I can really think of. There's the girl I did stuff with while drunk, the one who wasn't interested in me after one day...

Ahh. I guess taking a girl to senior ball was the most romantic thing I've done. Yeah, its nothing, but still.

Most romantic done for me? Same thing, I suppose. I guess its when my ex basically told me we could have sex any time I wanted(Never got a chance though, so hardly romantic in retrospect).

Blunder? Again, none really. I freaked with a girl at a dance, thought I could get somewhere, and ended up scaring her.

Though we recently started talking about going out, and were getting pretty far before she went on a trip to washington... So I guess that worked out.

Yeah. I'm a bad person, but really, meh.

My advice? Stop trying to get us to be romantic. Just get us to be cool. Its so much easier, and better. I hate girls who want romance.

but being yourself and doing things in your own little way IS romantic.. well to me anyway.

I'm not one of 'you have to wine me and dine me'.. that's not romance, it's materialistic whoring. :D

I was living with a woman and my birthday rolled around. Not a happy birthday word from her or anybody else about it. I went to work as usual, got off at about 3 came home and nobody there. so I felt a bit underappreciated and thought "fuck this noise" I showered got on my bike and rode the hundred miles to the coast to chill out have a few beers watch the sunset etc. I wandered in about 10 O Clock that evening and still nobody home. The phone rings and it's her.
She said in a very tense part drunk and fairly icy voice "Where have you been?"

I noticed the lack of birthday greeting so not really feeling like taking any shit I said "At the beach, it was nice, thanks for asking"

She said "Im at such and such bar and grill, you should come here now and have a drink with me"

"I dont much feel like it tonight Im tired and dusty and sandy, and the place will be closed in an hour anyway. I think I'll just call it a night."


"NO" she said "You WILL come here and have a drink now dammit! I MEAN it !"

Now I wasnt spoiling for a fight but I didnt care either at that point in my birthday blues so I hopped on the bike and soon skidded into the parking lot and strutted in to see her and the two remaining well lit friends who'd sat through six hours at that bar and grill of me not showing up for my own surprise party or for that matter showing up anywhere where anybody could think to hunt for me.
I

Ouch.

Depends on how you look at it.

Well good :P

I'm fine with more than getting drunk and fucking, but going overboard just ain't my style.

I think its romantic to sit in the back of a car, the girls head on my shoulder, my head on hers, and just laying there.

Damnit, I got to stop thinking about her.

This one time I was at the pool hall and this girl comes up and she's, like, "awww" and I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

Depends on how you look at it.

It's good to keep that spark of hope alive somplace in the back of your mind, I've found. I've never experienced anything resembling "romance," or even managed a simple conversation, but I don't think I'd be the same if I let that spark die out.. hope itself can keep you going sometimes. :)

I don't really desire a romantic relationship, you see. I simply prefer hot kinky sex with no strings attached.

Darnit. I need to make people more curious about my post.

The nicest thing I've ever done?.....I'm not the romantic type. BUt a guy did but a E200 bottle of champagne once!

I'm up for that too, but a little romance is alright once in a while ;)

I'll hazard a guess that when you said "Give me a day or two." as the opening sentence peeps just naturally took you at your word and wont be expecting any news about your impending romantic disaster for at least a day. Maybe two.

Has the time frame been moved up? Any action on the romantic blunder front since the last update?

Ah, I see...Well, no, nothing yet (except the after effects of that stupid tetanus shot, owie). I just expected maybe someone wondering how I knew, or what sort of situation I'm in to be set up for a blunder.

Lets make this less painfully awkward than it already is.

Just tell me what question it is that you want to be asked and I will ask that question. Unless I have some moral aversion to it. Or it is particularly icky.


Deal?

I'm curious; tell us!

As for me, there haven't been any romantic blunders, because there hasn't been any romance. At all. I've never even been on a date. In fact, everyone (apparently including my own parents) used to think I was gay, until I finally tried asking some girl out. The thing is: I tend to be an unintentionally antisocial nerd.

Nonetheless, though, I do have a good comment I once heard a comedian say: "You know, they're now saying that electric blankets could be carcinogenic? It kills me to think that the most dangerous thing I've done in bed in turn on my blanket."

What are you planning to do? Why are you planning to do it if it is so risky?

Actually it doesn't feel like such a big deal anymore now that someone asked.

I shall be making the leap to the other ladder! I plan to tell a girl, I girl I'm rather friendly with, who incidentally has a boyfriend currently, I love her. I figure since the other guy is in Utah on this camp thing, he doesn't count. And he hates me already, so feh, screw him. And I'm doing it because I tend to maintain no semblance of reason while in a female's presence. :(

No semblance of reason around females? Are you saying that your brain shuts down around women? Join the club..

are you doing this to spite the guy you hate or actually win the girl you love?

Win the girl. If you notice, I said he hates me, not vice versa. I don't know why, I've never even talked to him that often. I really don't have a problem with him.

maybe he knows you want his woman?

:)

Do you think she feels the same?

I once gave a pretty girl a pretty rose...














Just before I punched her in face and screamed 'bitch'! by far the most romantic thing I have ever done.:p

Cod, I hope so. I'm not good at subtlety. We get along well enough. We're the same in many aspects and polarized on others. Making her laugh is important apparantly, and I can do that easily enough, she shares my sense of humor (specifically, everything from fart jokes to cleverly woven wit[although she gets the jokes a little later ^_^"])

:eek:

that little green head at the end of my post is a sign that I am joking. I do in fact not advocate violence towards women.

be careful

The most romantic thing I've done for someone was a massage and a bubble bath :D

T'was nice ;)

Well, depends on which part of me you're asking. One part of me would say she'll probably give me something "just stay friends"-like, and I'll mope a bit then move along. Another thinks she's totally hot for me, but that's the embarrrassing part of my mind I try to shut out. It basically depends on my mood at the moment, which depends on the time of day and how full I am.

dont say anything.. just kiss her

That does help

...Hmmm...Does jumping between two beds count as something dangerous done in bed?

I don't think so... But if you miss, and accidentally hit one, then it probably does. Good luck. And you know, if there's an earthquake and the ceiling falls in and breaks your arm, you can say you got that injury in bed. Oh, yes. Impress your friends...

That does help

i knew it ;)

Used the greatest pick up line ever......



"Do you wash your panties with windex? Because i can really see myself in them"






seriously. :P

dude... are you single?

cuz you should be with lines like that

Errr....I'd need a specific time of day for that. Sunlight makes me uncomfortable. Now, if it was a nice sunset or twilight, I could see myself doing that.

Well there you go...tell her you'll treat her to dinner - something informal... you know, boyfriend is out of town... you dont want to see her sat home alone.

One of three things will happen

She'll agree.. and you can make your move as the sun is setting

She'll decline, you sulk all night and need to come up with another plan

She'll decline, but suggest you go round for dinner - and while you're in the garden having a drink, you spill your guts :p

dude... are you single?

Recently single actually.
Just for the record, I dumped her.

Oh, I got more lines like that.
"Are you free tonight, or will it cost me?"
"That girl over there wants your number so she can call me tommorow morning"
"hey babe, let's play house, you be the door and I'll slam you"

:p
works every time....

That crazy idea just might work.

Make sure you have a quick seperate way home if it doesnt work though. Nothing is quite so uncomfortable as having to share a car ride together directly after a "What in the HELL are you DOing?" moment.

Of course, there comes the matter of transportation. We can't drive, like, alone or anything. and there's no way I'm walking more than a mile again after the last time *shudder*. There's always bikes I suppose...

Works ever time? Exactly what women are you courting? Are they on drugs? Did you put them on drugs? Exactly how many times per day do you get slapped?

Sunlight makes you uncomfortable?

Yeah. Love the night.

Bright lights, sharp noises (think, balloon pop), and the smell of warm marshmellows are painful, disorienting, and nauseating, respectively.

Hmm... Do you have any gardens nearby? (like a park) Are you anywhere near a body of water (ocean/lake/river, etc.)? Do you think she knows you have feelings for her? Is it really the full-fledged "can't live without you" love?

The most romatic thing I have had done for me was a candle lit dinner cooked by him and diamond type bling bought for me. :fluffle:

Well see the trick is to getthem to laugh and then get into a conversation.

Now, admittedly some of my arsenal will NEVR work in 10 billion years.

"What'slong, hard, and right behind you?"
"I'm like chocolate! I go straight to your ass!"
"You, me, handcuffs and whipped cream! Interested?"
"Want to get down with me like four flat tires?"

nevr got any response from those. But I got several that are just golden.

Umm...There's a large grassy are composed of 6 peoples backyards that dogs don't poop in. There's a lake but it's rather...eutrophic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrophic). I'd doubt she knows, but I may not be good at hiding it, I dunno. And near as I can tell, It's the closest I've gotten to it, comparing it to...other things.

Eventually your cheeks toughen. You know how the hands of people who do farm work are like leather gloves? Sorta like that.

So you have a leather face... Do you think, someday, someone's going to make it into some kind of a cheap handbag or shoes?

Don't worry, I'm just being rude. I have a face that's practically transluscent. And I have dark hair. And sharp canines. And some of my ancestry is Transylvannian. If I had widow's peaks, I'd be forced to be a vampire. Thankfully for them, vampires are rich, which makes their madness merely "eccentric," but I am not, so I am properly crazy.

It seems my wit declines as the night goes on...

Uuuhhh....Yeah.

That... and the fact I love the girl

You'd get credit from me for having the nerve to try those!
Which is a hellof alot better then the standard kick in the nads, I tell ya!

"Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?"
"Are you free tonight,or will it cost me"
*taps ass*"Is this seat taken?"
*Bumbs into her breast*"It wouldn't have happened if they weren't so big!"
"Do you have a boyfriend?
If no- do you want one?
If yes- want another one?"
"chicks digme. I wear colored underwear"

Ah, does the yard have any flowers in it (especially waist or shoulder hight)? What about a birdbath? Are there crickets?

Uuuhhh....Yeah.

invite her round then... jeez..

lol

do something nice for her, make her laugh, give her a kiss

:p

... mm kissing.. kissing is good..

Are you sure kissing would be good before he tells her he loves her? Wouldn't it be better to "do something nice for her, make her laugh" (etc.), then get all serious and tell her withour a kiss? Then, if she agrees, perhaps a kiss would be in order, but, if not, and she's just sort of shocked, surprised, and awkward, then to kindly have a talk with her, comforting her, etc. Mind you, I shouldn't be sounding so autoritative. I know nothing about romance. (Though, I do know a bit about general human reactions.) What do you think?

Oh ok. fine DONT kiss her

just tell her what you feel.. the kissing can wait

....Am I interrupting something here?

Crickets can help (unless she is one of those people that hates them)... Just try to be as natural as possible. As warm as possible. And have a warm apple pie out (either buy one or make one) just in case. Either way it should be good (provided she likes apple pie (if not, substitute)). If she gets sort of upset, then there's something with which to comfort her and keep her at your house (buying some time) so that you can explain and convince her that you can still appreciate her as a friend. If things go well, then you have a nice romantic dessert to celebrate. Besides, who doesn't like pie?

are you?

Are not we all? Is our existance naught but a higher order of quantum foam, interrupting the steady flow of the universe? The universe itself, a blip in the unfathomable void.

By the way, by crickets, I meant the sound of crickets.

Are not we all? Is our existance naught but a higher order of quantum foam, interrupting the steady flow of the universe? The universe itself, a blip in the unfathomable void.

please dont make my head hurt at half 10 in the morning

Good. Write her a poem too (nothing too romantic or even at all personal- just something to set the mood). Read it a few minutes before you tell her.

Or, do the normalthing to do, and read someone else's poem that really strikes the right chord.

Actually, i've just had a thought. Telling her you love might freak her out. Love is a very strong word to use, I know if a guy told me he loved me straight off the bat, I'd probably freak out a little bit until I'd processed the info.

Maybe something a little less heavy?

Yeah, little much. I was thinking asking her first, what she thinks, so I know what I'm dealing with.

Just tell it exactly like it is.

hate to be a pessimist, but saying love doesn't usually work. I've said that before to a girl......she said it back. It worked for a while. Then outta nowhere I was blindsighted and she dumped me for some scronny little dude who was my friend prior to the events.

We got back together three times, and, I've dumped her twice.

Just tell it exactly like it is.
Yes yes, That's to happen anyways. I'd just like to do away with the uncertainty that's bothering me.

More benefits of the pie idea (It's not that I'm trying to sell you an idea, it's just that I really like pie and can't get my mind off it.):

If she gets freaked out, leaves, and won't return your phone calls, you can leave the pie on her doorstep with a little note containing an apology "it'll all be all right" sort of note. If things go really right, then you have something over which to discuss your new situation and your feelings for one another. If you can't work up the nerve to tell her, then you still have a pie to cheer you up and give you confidence.

Incidentally, Marie Callendar's has a delicious (and very romantic) in-season strawberry pie right now, but apple is always good, because it's a comfort food, and, if things should go wrong, it should very much help.

How is pie romantic?...

It usually isn't, but the strawberry pie is essentially a half-a-foot-tall mound of deliciously sweet strawberries doused in a uphoric sort of syrup. (I sound like a salesman, don't I? :( ) Due to the fact that it is basically made up of stacked strawberries, you can't really cut the pie; you have to eat down the strawberries with a fork. It can sometimes be romantic to share a dilectable desert with someone (especially when its off the same plate (which it would be)). I need to get a life, don't I?

You know it! ;)
The question is how many women do you get?
meh, I'm single by choice, in fact me and a buddy are gonan cruise down to the beach in a coupla days, and put themoves on every third chick we see. Obviously, it willwork every time,with allmy moxy and all :p

It's nearly three o'clock in the morning, I'm sitting alone in a dark room as usual, and the last time I had a proper conversation with an attractive woman was in June. If I'm not living in some dream world, then I'm living here. Plus, I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and so I tend to end up spending most of my time thinking about irrelevant, though incredibly detailed, scenarios/stories/ etc. I suppose that if I really started to think about my life, I wouldn't be too happy with it, so I unintentionally tend to spend my time in the lives of others (not meddling, I really can't explain it).

Curse you fronts!

Hmm... No stars isn't too bad, so long as the pollution isn't too olefactory (In laymen's terms: smelly.) and doesn't hurt your throat. A light breeze is generally good. As for "the weather is clear," I menat temperature. So you've been lucky enought to have storms? Here it's been 90-100 degrees the last two weeks! You lucky duck! (Just want to make sure you know I said duck as in "quack quack." It occurred to me that some people have mistaken words like duck and deck for other things in the past.) Nonetheless, is is hot at night? Is it cold? Does she typically find most temperaturtes warm or cold (I know a person who's cold at 75; I am perfectly fine at 65- that sort of thing.)?

Thanks. I could use a nice cyber-hug right now.

Razzleberry. I haven't tried that. (Of course within the last year, I've only gotten to try three pies there (strawberry, rhubarb, and lemon merange (however that's spelled)).) How could you not like strawberry?!?

This thread was originally about romantic blunders. Has anyone here ever had any?

Since it would appear that this thread has died, and it is 3:17 in the morning after all, I will be going. Goodbye!

Yeah, little much. I was thinking asking her first, what she thinks, so I know what I'm dealing with.

What would you say if she started hinting around like you plan to?

Youd hint around back and become tongue tied. Mstreated is right, kiss the girl you want like you mean it, because you do, and go from there. It's the right thing to do. There wont be any misunderstandings if you kiss her. If she kisses you back it is great. If not then you have broken the spell and can try to move on to someone who does care for you.

Kiss the girl. You know you want to. Have a breath mint first.

I WAS RIGHT!!!!

WooHoo..

kiss kiss kiss

I'd much prefer a guy to kiss me if he liked me.... then things are clear... if I dont like him, it would be a little awkward for a minute or two, but we'd talk about it.

EDIT: Though one would think that he'd gotten signals that it was ok to kiss me. You'd pretty much know if there was no hope in hell.

Trouble is I like strawberries. A lot. The things in Marie Collander pies are like candied strawberries not real strawberries somehow. The strawberries in MC pies are crisper than most real uncooked strawberries. It would almost be better if the berries were cooked until soft rather than zombied .

Pah! I think I can speak for well over half the heterosexual men when I say that we catch and accurately comprehend about as many signals as the blind dogcatcher catches dogs. Occasionally we lurch onto one and are quite happy and even proud of our good work, but prudence suggests that you not rely heavily upon us becoming very good at it.

I had this strange dream last night about someone trying to be romantic and sweep me off my feet, but they failed.

I'm not going into details, but I woke up with a question in my head that I thought would make a good NS thread.

What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?

What's the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?

Have you / someone else ever tried to do something romantic and it failed, miserably? (If so, what happened?)

.. Go on then.... type away...
Sorry, i fail.
Nothing
Nobody loves me.

Hmmmmm i bought a stuffed toy once yeah umm ignore that...

which is why if my hints aren't taken, i'll make the first move :p

If I had a Marie Callender strawberry I would send it to you in England just so you could truly understand why I might think these are zombie berries. They are like candied dates compared to fresh dates. Only not as much sweeter. They are like strawberries with synthetic crispness and a color that is just a little too red. These berries aint right.

This isn't really a romantic blunder, but my girlfriend was there. On my first day of Gym class (grade 1) I walked in naked, because I thought that gym would be done without any clothes. No on else thought this.

The last girl I was with, when getting comfy and friendly on the couch says to me, "Do you want to have sex with me?"

I took it as a "hey..since were not doing anything else...." kinda thing.

So I says....

"Sure."

Apparently, that was not what she wanted to hear.

Oh jeez, dont ask the question if you're not prepared for all possible outcomes

.. one of my fellow female fault - double standards and the expectation of psychic ablilities

I'm sure it's come up already but I did the wrong name in bed thing.

To be fair the were mitigating circumstances. My gfs' name began with a K, my ex-gfs' name began with a K and one of the girls I was living with began with a K. It was too many similar names to juggle.

Edit: To make things worse, after I got kicked out and was walking home at about 4am I got stopped and searched by the police. Apparently I fit the description for someting or other that had happened on the other side of the city.

I have a knack for saying things as jokes that end up coming out really harsh and making girls cry. I feel like such an ass.
