What's the last romantic gesture you did/received?

I don't know how romantic we are. I've never felt that it's lacking in our relationship. I think my OH is more romantic than me (he can be a right soppy git) whereas I show my feelings a bit awkwardly. OH leaves little notes sometimes like if I've ironed his shirt before I go to work I'll come home to a little post it stuck to the kettle (the first place I go when I get home) saying "thanks sweetie I love you". I think the best he gets out of me is me hiding little things in his work bag, like a bar of chocolate or a message and then at lunch time texting him to see if he found it yet.

As far as romantic goes the best I get from my OH is a fart under the covers.

This morning after a bad nights sleep OH set up a nest on the sofa for me with a DVD selection. Made sure I was happily settled before he went to work and told me that although im overdue with the baby and fed up that I'm doing a great job cooking her. Better than flowers any day x

H is much more romantic than me - I'm particularly bad, I see the day to day stuff as a romantic gesture whereas H will make a proper effort. The last romantic thing he did for me was bring me home flowers on Tuesday evening after I had commented in an email that I was fed up with work - it was literally a passing comment but bless him, he picked up on it and got me roses...❤️

H is more traditionally romantic than I am. He bought me flowers and cake from a posh bakery today as a congratulations gift for my exam.

Although I love getting flowers, it's the less obvious gestures that really make me go "awww" like when I was getting really stressed and he cooked me dinner and sorted out the dishwasher.

I read something recently about the "five languages of love" or something like that, which was about how different people express love and value different gestures from their loved ones. Some people are all about giving gifts, others are more keen on physical contact or "acts of service," it's quite an interesting read!

I think I was romantic tonight. OH has been at work until 8pm so I got a surprise Dominoes delivered for 8.15 which he hasn't had before and he LOVED it. He is a huge pizza fan but never had a Dominoes - weird!!

Is that romantic?

Little pixie that so lovely. It's the little things like that which mean more to me.

The last thing I did was post a box out to the sandy place. His feet are shredded so had some flip flops, foot stuff and a travel game of battleships to play. Along with yorkshiretea and biscuits. The last thing HE did/is doing, is managing to send me an imsg every morning for when I wake up ❤️ nothing too soppy, just 'how are we, hope you have a good day' etc

? Ha ha totally this! Last romantic thing my OH did was when he proposed (valentine's day, surprise trip to Paris , Eiffel Tower all lit up at night). Even his mum said she didn't think he had it in him! Then again, I am struggling to think of anything romantic I've done too! I make the tea a lot, and last week I bought him some biscuits because he was a bit fed up!

ahhh that is lovely, I'd love that!

We did this at our pre-marriage course and it was quite interesting, I would definitely recommend it to anyone going through a rough patch.

I was pretty upset/stressed out about something the other night and H made my dinner and cancelled plans with his friends so he could sit in with me and he even let me pick the dvd. He never buys me flowers or anything like that but I don't mind as he does a good job of looking after me when I need it.

I too don't know how to define romance! I don't think he's ever done anything romantic I've had flowers three times in 8 years, twice after I dumped him so don't think that counts as romance! My car broke down and he rescued me, but is that romantic or just more a partner duty? Like Jo, I try sometimes but my efforts get at best ignored and at worse scoffed at. I was crying the other night and he didn't even look away from the tv, let alone try and comfort me (it's ok the dog did). An ex knew I'd had a bad day and just turned up at my flat with flowers choc and wine, is that romantic?!

I really can't describe romance either!

Sometimes he will do something that makes me melt a bit and I am like yes! that is why I love you. But right now I can't recall any thing. could be the alcohol in my system or my general mood.

My OH bought me some flowers last week, but he paid on the joint account card so I technically paid half!

I rarely get big romantic gestures, but I don't mind very much as I'm utterly cr*p at being all lovey dovey ?

In fact when he is being romantic I tend to just call him a soppy git and be done with it!

We're not a couple who is overly "romantic" who will constantly kiss and cuddle, but OH plays with my hair every night while we watch tv (my fave thing ever is having my hair played with haha), he'll give me the odd foot rub and maybe once a week i'll give him a back rub if he's been working hard.
He'll bring me in flowers quite a bit, and brings me in thorntons choc personalised with a message saying "to the best mummy ever, ove matthew" etc and give it to our son to give me...those sort of things i'd probably class as romantic.

However we don't go out much anymore for meals etc and spend much time just the both of us since M was born, so it's the little things like that I like haha

I don't "do" romance. I find it cringey. If my H is all lovey dovey, I tell him to man up. He has slowly given up on being romantic, as he knows I don't appreciate his efforts.

On our wedding anniversary, it took me until around mid day, to think "i'd best text him". I sent him a "happy anniversary" text, as he was working away from home. He arranged to have flowers delivered. They were nice, but not a massive fan of flowers. For how much they cost, i'd prefer something that didn't die within a week.

He came home a day early, to spend our anniversary evening together, and it was the fact he bought Prosecco, that stopped me being annoyed, that he had ruined my last night of peace.

ER - I'm the same with flowers. Would rather have the cash towards shoes.

He's not very romantic but he is lovely in lots of little practical ways, which I much prefer. It might be leaving me in bed while he gets up with the kids, or bringing me a cup of tea in the morning before he leaves for work. Actually, he did buy me some flowers a couple of weeks ago to say thank you for looking after him while he recovered from knee surgery.

This is something my OH would do, he's very thoughtful and loving.

Plus he sometimes buys me treats and flowers.

My oh helped me up when I fell head first on the bedroom floor last night trying to get undressed after one (five) too many (I don't often drink so when I do I'm a lightweight) then forced me to drink some water and held my hair back while I was sick - does that count as romantic? ?

I wouldn't say we often did big romantic gestures (although the proposal was one) but I think we both often do thoughtful things - look after each other when we're sick or drunk, provide supportwhen one of us is going through a tough time, cook a favourite meal for the other one as a treat etc and I think these things are more romantic. I love having flowers but I like to buy them myself so I can pick which ones go in what vase and can spend time arranging them

That's so much nicer than my OH. When I fell over drunk (into the cat litter tray) he ran to get the camera! I then ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor with a bed of bath mats and towels because he couldn't be bothered to help me into bed. They say romance is dead eh?

He cleaned up the cats sick the other morning! That's about it.

He occasionally (and I mean about once a year) buys me flowers and has about twice cleaned the house himself without me asking but wanted a freaking medal for it so I don't see it as romantic but he would. He will do little things like he bought me a sweet and a can of juice the other night when I was feeling sad or he'll go and get chips for my tea which is nice but not romantic to me!!

Occasionally when were talking hell come out with something really sweet. He's not a many of many words and he's not loveydovey but he'll just come out with something very touching, which I like to hear!

Cant remember.. flowers last month I think.. BUT only because football 'happened'' to be on the same evening Hhmm... does me exchanging my Tesco clubcard vouchers to get him a warm hoodie count as romantic ?

haha maybe he is romantic then! Though if I'd fallen into a cat litter tray he may have gone to get the camera!
