Day 28

Do you consider yourself a romantic person? Do you prefer fancy dinners, roses and chocolate romantic, or are you more non-traditional? What's the most romantic thing you have ever done for a loved one or had done for you?


Yes and no. I tend to see romanticism in the small things no one else thinks about.  I am a do-er of small gestures, and prefer someone like minded.  That, to me, is true romanticism; in the hustle and bustle of an 8+ hour work day and whatever else life throws your way, you take a split second to think of something nice to do for your significant other.  In previous relationships, I've bought small gifts for no reason because it was something I knew they'd really like (and we were no where near a holiday!), gone out of my way to make a wonderful dinner (and clean up!), given a long back massage (none of that 5 minute and my fingers are tired stuff), sent a cute text or picture, and plenty of things just because.  The most romantic thing I've done is taken the initiative- because without me we'd have done nothing.  I suggested, I planned (can you sense some bitterness here, haha), I carried through- but at least it happened, and I had a good time.  Someone once asked me the most romantic thing a guy did for me and I could only reply with, "He bought me flowers."  They thought that was sad.  Flowers are nice, but I've always wanted them just because.  Not because I'd been a "good girl" or accomplished something, just because you thought of me, and because, for christ's sake, you like me!
