    I have absolutely no idea what forum to put this thread in, so like I always do, I'm putting it in the After Hours just because that's generally where most of us "hang around"!

    Ok so I need those of you with the romantic brains to put all that brain power together and help me :D

    I'm in Australia at the moment, and I'm coming home for Christmas. I have a girlfriend at home, and I want to come home to her in a romantic lovey dovey way, but I'm trying to wrap my head around different plans!

    I'll be arriving in Dublin at 8pm on a Friday night. It takes roughly about an hour - an hour and a half depending on traffic to get home. I'll more than likely be getting a taxi back to her place first and then back to mine. She has two sisters I can contact in order to make sure she'll be at home when I get there. She doesn't like flowers, so no flower ideas, unless it's a really good one! :P

    Any and all ideas will be much appreciated :)

    Go! :pac:

    I'd make sure she's not pregnant by your best friend first before splashing out.

    Send her some lube in the post and tell her you'll be home when the nightclub shuts.

    Take her for a romantic meal in Highway 66, then a few drinks in the Middle Shop or the Loft (€3.50 a pint Monday to Friday), maybe a trip to Zinc followed by a snack box from Sammy's.

    Then take her home, pop a viagra and ride the fúck out of her for a few hours, because that's what she will really be waiting for.

    Make sure her new boyfriend isn't at her place when you arrive. That would be uncomfortable.

    Bust the door down, riding on the back of a kangaroo, before a shoulder-launched wallaby lunges at your loveness and maims her. Oh, and the kangaroo's pouch is full of roses.

    Customs might have a problem with this, but fcuk'em, you're riding a kangaroo, who the hell do they think they are?

    Unless shes allergic then every girl likes flowers.Seriously.

    Right if it was me (dreaming away here) this is what id like.Simple but classic and id love it.

    Arrange to meet your GF in your place,hotel... etc.You ring and explain the flight has been delayed by hours,(cue ranting etc) but thats shes to go into her/the bedroom because theres an apology there (lily/rose/tulip lying on the pillow).The friend/hotel will have to get involved to make that work :D. This has to happen very smoothly and quickly, basically because you'll be outside then.You dont want to leave it too long and get into the pissed off,taking the makeup off ,PJs on scenario lol...

    So, while still chattin on the phone, the doorbell goes (go you). "Hey hun,its me!"

    Cheesy vanilla flavoured cheese....but simple and id love it.

    Em..i don't.


    Anyway OP, i'd suggest booking a hotel room for the night seen as how she seems to live with her family, but if you're just arriving in from your flight, you might conk out soon as your head hits the pillow and she'd only have the tv to keep her entertained.

    Take her dogging maybe, that way if you pass out, someone else can take over! :D

    Well i wouldn't throw them back at him or anything, specially if it was like a 1st date or something! But if we were going out with each other, i'd accept them the 1st time but after that i'd let it be known at some stage that i'm not mad on them so he knows he doesn't have to buy them.

    They don't do anything, and they shed all over the table and then die a couple of days later!

    I don't like flowers either. I don't own a vase and, well, they die. What's the point?

    I'd rather he brought me a bottle of wine and some sexy surprises. I do like the hotel idea though. Sorting out something private just for the two of you might be a nice idea OP. I'd appreciate that much more than a tulip on the bed.

    Ah lots of ladies love flowers, I know my mother does, but usually if a girl says she isn't pushed on them I don't see a reason to disbelieve her. Personally for me if someone wants to treat me or do something nice for me I'd rather they spend the €50 or whatever they were going to drop in the florists on booze or toward a nice meal, followed by booze, because that's my idea of a good time. ;)

    Each to their own though! And OP you know your girlfriend better than anyone else here, so really you should already have a fair idea of what she might enjoy.

    Ok op, first of all if you haven't told her the actual date home you are on a winner, if you have you know have to make up a reason why the date has been moved back a couple of weeks. You then get her sisters to get her somwhere for your arrival time. She is sad and missing you, you come in sweep her up and give her a big smooch......


    ..... Then get rid of said sisters or maybe not depending on what your all into;) But honestly go with the first part of the post

    A sound plan if ever I saw one. :cool:

    That is complete tosh! When I met my missus, it was before Valentines Day. She told me that she didn't go for all that romantic nonsense. So I didn't get her a card, or flowers or anything.

    7 years later, she still hasn't forgiven me.

    Lads, if a lady says she doesn't like flowers / chocolate / romantic gestures... what it really means is that she's grand at the minute. That doesn't mean that she won't want them at some point in the future.

    Chances are you'll miss the exact point when she decides that she'd like some flowers / chocolate / romantic gestures & even though you are not a mind reader, well, you should have bloody well known.

    And don't go trying to make up for the missed opportunity that you didn't even know had happened, because if you do, it'll be too bloody late to make up for it with flowers / chocolate / romantic gestures.

    Take it from me. I know these things only too bloody well.
