Was the surprise a baby?

Reminds me of a lovely romantic story of mine...

I was driving back from a party the next morning with herself, pretty hung over and she got a breakfast roll - but she wasn't feeling great and didn't want to eat it, so she wedged it in the door of my car.

When I was dropping her at her house, I asked her to take it inside and put it in the bin. She wouldn;'t, despite my extensive attempts to persuade her to do so, and I was forced to back down and head for home, breakfast roll and all, in order to avoid another row.

Two weeks later she eagerly unwrapped her birthday present from me, which I had romantically left for her to find.

Guess what it was.

She had said she wanted a surprise so I took her at her word.

We broke up not long after that...

Dated a guy; who'd look after me after a night out...
I'll go back to his; he'll cook for me, cuddle me and make me breakfast in bed
I always woke up in his shirt though... Can't remember how that happened

Just remembered another one.

My previous girlfriend was an avid reader and she left a book behind in my house that I had gotten her as part of her Christmas present.

Having nothing to read that night, I rang her and read to her until about 2am.

Kinda miss that even if she did fúck me over.

Never underestimate the small things... Good morning txts were always my favourite, nothing like someone telling you your beautiful when in reality you look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards, haha. Surprise her with a trip to the cinema, dinner, something she mentioned she saw and liked/wanted... We're simple creatures at heart, haha

send a nice txt every morning and evening and sometimes during the day and hold her until she falls asleep at night.

1st valentines I covered the apartment in rose petals, cooked dinner and had petals and candles in the bedroom.

Usually do the holiday thing but not like Spain, we like to do stuff. Last one was to Dubrovnik, kayaking between the islands, biking etc.

Jewellery is a big plus and simple things like when I'm driving her car filling it up with petrol.

Most recent one was buying her a bichon-frise as I will probably be a way for a while with work, and planning a ski trip atm.

I could fall in love with a guy who would read to me. That is proper old school romance.

My OH would not consider me to be the romantic type in terms of flowers, chocolates or valentines day cards etc but there was one occasion which sticks in the mind probably because it was such a rare occurrence.

Southern Spain a few years back – off the beaten track – a small mountain village, with a few restaurants spilling out onto the small square, orange trees etc – having a very enjoyable dinner with the OH and our 2 daughters on her birthday. A couple of guys with those huge Mexican guitars came along and they played Happy Birthday for the wife while all the other diners and waiters etc (average age well over 60 I would say) watched and stared – all eyes were on us but not in a bad way, I had the impression they thought it was a sort of a fairytale moment or something.

At the end of the song I felt a grand gesture coming on so I just kissed the wife passionately and at lenght in front of everyone – stunning her and the kids who wouldn’t be used to such unexpected public displays of affection from me.

And then all the onlookers burst into applause and came over to our table to shake hands!

Anyway it’s a nice memory for the whole family.

My gf hated getting flowers cos she didn't like to see them die so I learned how to make a origami rose to give to her for valentines day. Took me ages to figure it out but she definitely made it worth my effort

It's pretty cool to see the look on someones face when they realise that you're willing to do for them what no one else could/would...
