Ok, to the men and women here.
When was the last time you romanced someone? How did you do it?
Romance is lacking in alot of relationships. I think this is a major cause of breakups in some marriages too.
You have to keep the candles burning,,,the romance alive!!!!!!

Gosh, it's been a couple years since I've been around a guy to do so! But, a few years ago, my ex and I were going to a Blues Festival. Since he lives out of state, we decided to both drive, and got a hotel room. I packed my tabletop fountain, a blanket, cheese, fruit, a bottle of wine. When he met me at the hotel, I had a picnic, with nice music, and a bubble bath waiting.

Long Long Ago in a land far far away....
I invited my boyfriend (at that time) over and had a trail of candles from the living room thru the bedroom into the bath... I had a nice warm bath ready for him and I was in a towel.... Needless to say, it was a very good nite

Hmmm, romance is about showing the other person you care in small ways. I like it when a guy combs my hair - to me, that is romantic.
I like to share food - again, to me, that is romantic.
I like to tell the person the things I like about them, again, to me...
I like to talk about their day and share mine, again, to me...
I like to send them an IM that says Good Morning, ...
I will cook a meal from scratch...
I will go shopping with him if he likes that and help him with whatever chore he has, ...
Basically, it depends on the person and what I think they will like based on what they have told me and what I have observed.

2 years ago- I bought at target a bag of 300 tea lights... and yes, I lit every single one of them, most burned out before I was done. I put on some good mixes- Chris Deburgh.. Lady in Red - Desiree... Kssing you ... you get the gist... and I took a bath waiting for him. Needless to say I waited in the tub for an hour and a half, I was a prune. And when he got home he was too tired and stressed from hanging out with his friends to want to do anything.
Last time, never again.

I admit I did not find it humorous, but am not bent out of shape.
Last time, never again.
Maybe try something simpler next time. I find simple works wonders. It can be done everyday and at the spur of the moment.

Romantic things to do for a guy?
Hmmmm
Depends on the guy - some would like it if you would let them watch a sports game without interruption LOL
A backrub or full body massage (warm oil)
Prepare/buy his favorite meal and play some romantic music
Give him a book that appeals to him
Wear some slinky lingerie - his favorite color
Make sure the house is clean and the kids are off to bed or at neighbors or wherever.
Think about things he likes/ things that appeal to him - go from there.

Well When I lived Near the Water I have done the Picnic on the Beach under the stars with a candle, then a walk under the stars along the sea wall..
I have also not on a regular basis when she would be out working Just buy her favorite flowers and place it on the Kitchen table as a surprise, but the last special romantic thing i did was with my ex, I work out of town and she wanted to come up and visit me, so i rented a jacuzzi suit at a motel, placed candles around the tub, Of Course Bought Roses For her and also her favorite Collectible and was able to find it as a candle holder and when she showed up had the fireplace on tub ready with bubbles of course and all the candles lit, was a real nice night..
