PBH Romantic Tips.....

Well, as we all know, romance doesn't come natural to everyone... Sometimes people need a little push and guidance in the right direction....

And since we haven't had any exceptional fun lately, I thought that today is the day to start helping some off our PBH members and asking everyone to tell a story or give a few pointers to those that need the assistance....

There are variations of romance and sometimes you have to make it work based on the personality....

One of my favorite treats is chocolate covered strawberries.... Let's say your a, oh I don't know... Military guy.... and have NO idea how to make something romantic.... Well, a nice little twist would be chocolate covered strawberries that look like little granades!.... Kind of mix both personalities together and tada... A little romantic hint to the one you're dating...

Patito... I know you've got a ton of romantic stories.... Why don't you help out your fellow brothers/sisters.... Dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........ Not that I'm picking on you......

One of the things, I love is spontaneous romantic gestures... I mean it doesn't have to be expensive.... No, daily dozen roses or anything like that... But, hell a nice little surprise can have a big impact..... A room filled with lit candles... Which I believe is popular amongst almost all women....

Anybody care to share....

I agree that spontaneous is especially nice. Everyone expects something romantic on Valentine's Day (ahem) but to experience/receive something romantic on just an ordinary day is even better.

Thank you Mitch, but I think some of us were looking for the opposite... romantic things a man can do for a woman. In general, guys aren't as interested in the "romantic" side of things are women, don't you agree? I wouldn't classify greeting someone at the door with a Colombian meal while naked as a jaybird as being "romantic". ;) I'd just call that... "pleasing the man", but not exactly romantic. But maybe that's just my feminine viewpoint and you guys actually do see that as being romantic?

Hey Mitch...my ex-bf did that for me once. He met me in my hotel room and was waiting for me naked when I got back from work. What...no hello? Oh wait...that was hello.... I guess it goes both ways.

ok, where is Dan, who I suspect this post is for, in particular? the pink panty girls are not cornering me this time. I had nothin to do with what brought this post about.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

houstongal says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:03:

I agree Chris. The man had to understand the woman to know what she would like. Some women are awed by gifts and show. Others prefer the simple things.

I had recall very romantic night. It was a restaurant where we sat on the floor on pillows after climbing a spiral staircase to the room. The place was lit by candles only (maybe some very soft lighting...I didn't notice). We didn't eat. Just drank and talked a little. The atmosphere was dripping wtih romance.

What I loved most was that he decided to take me there. I had no idea where we were going and it was a complete surprise. He was trying to win me over and it worked.

christobeldawg says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:08:

lucky guy, but he knew what to do, I gotta give it to him.
I prefer the girls that like the simple feeling gestures, and simple deep feeling pleasures, not the gifts and show. the gifts and show tend to scare us non Donald Trump types.

And we all know that TG is a simple girl. She doesn't need gifts and show. I think anything to show thought, effort, etc. goes a long way.

Thus I was thrilled by the excitement of not knowing where we were going or what to expect. And when we got there, I was blown away by the atmosphere. Perhaps that's a winning combination.

I keep searching for one that will scream romance to you and hg and ms, but only keep proving that we guys have no real clue. I promise not to post Ol Danny Boy. Fortunately this post is to put him on the hot seat, not the Dawg this time.

msaucey says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:19:

CDawg.... I think I've always tended to be the romantic person in a relationship... Damn me and my control issues.... I had a boyfriend once that was an artist and would on occassion draw murals in our living room depicting us and followed by a nice glass (bottle) of wine and a massage....

I'm a sucker for massages..

TG.... Dan is that rational guy that things, candles = fire!....

Dan, we're not picking on you... Obviously Mitch needs little help in the romance department too, since it's all about him!....

CDawg... are you all of a sudden sleeping or something?... You've magically disappeared....

Oh, I just remembered when I was 17, I wasn't allowed to really date much....But, there was this guy that was trying to win me over... Outside my bared bedroom window there was a landing, so he would sit out there and play his guitar for me... A little serenade... That was cute....

and my question to you girls is:

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

bamacellist says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:40:

I'm real curious to see where this thread goes. I can say "men this" and "men that" but it's a little silly because for the most part I am really say "these are my feelings". We can only pretend to speak in impersonal generalities. So, how many are brave enough to reveal themselves here?

Speaking for myself (!) it's a serious mistake for women to believe men don't crave these little strokes, the clues and assurances that yes you are indeed thinking of them, that they have left fingerprints on your soul and you enjoy that, and that, yes, you are willing to let them know, you want them to know. Yeah we don't really like that feeling of being taken for granted any more than you do. And, I think too many women don't know this. I don't mean to blame them... too few cultural clues and we men are probably not very good at helping you understand this, but think about it.

I really do believe it's possible to fall in love and keep falling, never hitting the ground, if that's what you (both) want. Most couples fail, I believe, precisely because they aren't generous enough with these little gestures that hold so much potential for joy and delight.

Have you ever felt the warmth on your partner's side of the bed after he/she's gotten up and closed your eyes and smiled? Did you find a way to tell them? Yes, indulge your own moment of intimate joy, but let them know about the gift they gave you. What could be more thrilling than knowing the person you love cherishes your presence so deeply?

I like sending sappy text messages; "I'm thinking of you! Thanks for the smile *kiss* " I think text messages and emails are fabulous tools for this because the recipient get to enjoy the message completely privately, can savor it and the feelings it inspires thoroughly and selfishly. Send your partner an email with a recording of you saying "I love you." How often do we get to hear those words and simply bask in their true significance?

I agree thoroughly that we need these small gestures. As wonderful as those extravagant events and gifts can be, we need these intimate gestures to communicate that we cherish our partners and their presence beside us.

Ok... I'm a pathetic sap. But I'm not embarrassed or ashamed. I kind of enjoy it. Except when I watch movies with my kids.

"The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand."

And of course there's that famous scene in "Say Anything" with John Cusak standing in the rain playing his boombox to win his girl back.....

msaucey says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:42:

I have a horrible memory and wasn't all that into the guy, and can't for the life of me, tell you what songs they were... Actually, I think he sang whatever he wrote.... another artist type....

Well of course men like these things too.

Actually bamacellist, I'm not much of a romantic and too many texts of "I'm thinking of you" would make me run the other direction! And I know a number of women who feel the same way. There's mush and then there's too much mush.

travelingirl says on Mar 31, 2008, 22:45:

That's a bummer CDawg.... That's a shame.... But, the important part is that a new magical moment of your life has begun.... And, with the lack of pictures, the memory of your wedding will be kept with more detail in your mind, since you don't have a picture to refer to....

Dawg....google the song and translate the lyrics. That should make you feel comfortable enough to send. It simply needs to convey how you feel.

P.S. Both Te Mando Flores and Kilometros were sent to me.

I'll take your word for it Hg, and send it. typical guy, I know, don't start in on me.

It is late GS, but it was actually good to be up since I was receiving emails from China and the Philippines tonight. Just trying to get plans for this vacation in May settled. It's been a pain to coordinate with the time difference. You send an email and wait 24 for a response. I've been waking up early just to see if I received any word from the travel agent or my traveling buddy and respond before their day ends. I'll be glad when we have our trip arranged.

I see that everyone had a busy night.
Oh, and 3 times, that I saw first scan around the thread that people are saying that they're "not picking" on me.... Sorry, you guys didn't cover yourself very well there.

"Not that I'm picking on you......"
-I thought that's the point of this thread.

"She doesn't need gifts and show"
-HA!!! Two words, Shoes and Jewlery

"I don't want Danny Boy to think I'm picking on him."
-Too late.

"I'm not sure Dan even owns a candle."
-Threw them out when the ex left.

"Dan is that rational guy.... candles = fire!.... "
-YES! Thank you!!

"Dan, we're not picking on you"
-Not entirely but, yes, you are.

Go ahead and change your avatar, TG or I'll resort to putting this guy up on mine:

Once with one of my girlfriends the first time we made love 2 quarters fell out of her jean while I was taking them off of her. I pushed the two quarters under the bed and later picked the up and kept them. Come christmas time I had the quarters mounted in gold and gave one to her on christmes day and I kept the other to wear. You would have thought I gave her a million dollars the way she acted over that quarter. How does that rate Girls.

Well, theres not much romance going on here in the U.S. Less than 1% of American women are virgins on their wedding night. Not only that, there will be 1 or 2 guys at the wedding reception that already had sex with her.

I once had a really bad fight with a boyfriend. He tried buzzing me from downstairs but I wouldn't open the door. I lived on a second floor and had a balconey.

He called me up on my cell from a blocked number, when I picked up he said "go to the balconey" and hung up. I went to the balcony and it was full of roses. I still picture him standing out there and throwing rose after rose all the way up to my 2nd floor balconey.... I must say the anger faded.

houstongal says on Apr 8, 2008, 11:16:

Thanks TG and Mitch (how sweet!)!

Sick of networking? jajaja...this is my social event of the year. My company isn't even paying for me to go! I have too many friends for me to miss this 2 years in a row. I usually come back exhausted because I sit in sessions all day and socialize in the evening. An added bonus for me this year is that I'll catch up with 2 friends that live in the area and I haven't seen in ages.

Hey...how did your presentation go TG? Your advisor impressed? I'm sure you did great!

travelingirl says on Apr 8, 2008, 11:21:

My presentation went great! Thanks for asking. :) And yes, my advisor was very impressed. I'm hoping he'll mention sending the article out to a journal for publication. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I think I'd just had enough Geek Fest that I could handle for a few days and by the end of my time there, all I wanted to do was walk around the city and/or shop. I didn't really have any friends at the conference so acting like I was interested in other peoples' research was just no fun for me. lol

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon...

houstongal says on Apr 8, 2008, 12:28:

I know what you mean! Luckily this is not a geek fest because we are about 60/40 or 70/30 practioners (i.e., those of us who work in industry) versus academics. I've been to conferences where it's primarily academics and that's a geek fest! And then there's the American Psychological Association conference, where you get a predominance of bearded therapists. I didn't fit.

I pick sessions based on who is presenting and maybe the topic. I try to support my friends by being in the audience. They do the same for me. And I always make it to one session of my old advisor....because I never know what will come out of his mouth! My secrets for making conferences fun!

So why don't you ask your advisor about sending the article out for pub? If your field is anything like mine, there are journals galore and probably he can recommend one that would fit. You do realize that publication means more work for you! ;-)

I am glad your presentation went well. I don't think I've ever seen any grad student get grilled at a conference session. People are usually very polite...or maybe asleep...especially since you presented on Saturday....lol.....

travelingirl says on Apr 8, 2008, 15:09:

Actually, the polisci nerds don't care who you are, they'll grill you... so grad students are no exception. The discussant for my panel flat out told this one chick "I don't believe your results at all". I thought she was going to cry. We had quite a few people at our panel on Sat. since the conference was from Thurs-Sun. It was at 12:45 which is a good time. Those that meet at 8am are the ones where no one show
