What do you do


Maddie&EthansMom wrote: when you want to be romantic? What does your DH/DW/SO do when they are being romantic? Any suggestions on romantic gestures?

MomToMany replied: Boy, I wish I knew. I need help with that too. blush.gif You'd think by having 5 kids that I'd know something about that, LOL!

kimberley replied: i guess i am just more attentive and affectionate. i will come up and give him a hug and kiss or rub his shoulders. make him dinner, and smile a lot biggrin.gif

he is more touchy when he is feeling romantic, typical guy laugh.gif .

just remember things you did when you were dating him... like listening to him talk, smiling, the hair flip (most guys love that lol)... and all that flirting jazz.

i am sure others will come up with something better. wink.gif

ediep replied: My DH usually says "do you want a massage?" or "I could really use a massage"
Sounds pretty lame, but his massages are very good..... blush.gif

jolene555 replied: i think we are far more obvious. maybe we've lost some of our romance - but did we ever have it to begin with lol!!

i get real sweet, touch him a lot, rub his shoulders, blah, blah, blah. sometimes it resorts to asking him if he's "tired yet?"

he, ummm, brushes his teeth. oh my! well he smokes, and it is sorta romantic when he goes out of his way to brush his teeth so he can kiss me.

heavenly_1970 replied: My DH is far from romantic and I think thats why Ive lost all interest in the 'love dept.' He's gone a lot to either work, fish, hunt or some other lame reason & we never have conversation any more. We actually had a huge argument about this yesterday. His idea of romance is to grab me and give me some stupid line....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I'm at my wits end. sad.gif

favre4fan replied: He will bust out the candles, take a hot bath together and give massages. Or he makes me a nice romantic dinner when the boys are away at the their Dads. SOmetimes just snuggling on the couch and watching a movie.

Kaitlin'smom replied: well I have given up in that nothing seemd to work and I just about tried EVERYTHING.

him he usuaully wants to go to bed....lame dont tell me just take me

A&A'smommy replied: gosh lol ours is a little more blunt blush.gif blush.gif

coasterqueen replied: Romance? What is that? We haven't had that since before we were married. biggrin.gif

Littlejojames replied: We dont have real hard romance. He is sweet everyday.

When i get up in the morning for work he wraps himself around me so i cant get out of bad. and gives me a kiss.

We always sit down together everynight watching tv cuddling on the sofa and he always give plenty of cuddles and kisses everyday and always tells me he loves me.

Hes not all bad. wub.gif

redchief replied: Hmmm... C'mon guys!!! Can you see what the ladies are trying to say?

WE SUCK!!! I'm going to get right to work on my lack of romance and tact (boy I really do suck).

kit_kats_mom replied:
LOL red chief!

My DH usually just says something like "feelin' frisky?" Not so romantic. *sigh*
when we first started dating, he made a cd with a ton of romantic songs that reminded him of me and lit candles all over his room. It was so sweet.

I'll sometimes put the cd in and he know's that's his cue. Otherwise, I'll text message him to "be ready" after Katherine goes to bed. That way he has the entire work day to make sure he has enough energy left. biggrin.gif

My2Beauties replied: Hee hee, I think I need to save ours for the x-rated board, I am waiting on my password as we speak!!! HE HE!!

No seriously we just say something to each other earlier in the day nasty to each other or we'll be laying in bed and DF will just pull me to him and kiss me really passionately!!! wub.gif Va va va voom...I need to talk to him now! LOL LOL!

Wow now that I have found this part of the board I'm staying here! laugh.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: My husband and I have a code, it sounds goofey. But if one of us leans over and says good night..and the other one good nite, that means we are tired and going to sleep. But if one says good nite to the other one and they in return say "I love you" Then it means we are feeling friskey.

I am a morning person, and my husband knows that if I stay in bed, instead of getting up and doing stuff that I want to be romantic.

Another thing that I know means he is in the mood, is when he puts the kids down and tells me to relax and get ready for bed by myself.

A lot of little things though. We are very lovey dovey. We hold hands, and kiss everyday. My daughter who is 14, says why do u guys still hold hands? My husband(her step dad) said b/c this is the hand I want inside mine for the rest of life, and you will know true love when your hand feels empty w. out the other. And mind you he said this the other day. After almost 7 years of marriage..

Josie83 replied:
I would say the same about Jason. He is always so nice to me! wub.gif And you know we do the obvious thing . . . blush.gif xx

Boys r us replied: I'm with you guys on this..romance..what's that!
I'm such the hopeless romantic..but I've given up..Dh sucks at being romantic!
Okay..I HATE ..HATE seafood, but I'll drive 30 minutes out of my way to go get fresh seafood and find recipes to cook it and then I'll stink up my frigg'n house making the nasty stuff and I'll do it all just for him...and you know..then the kids and I eat some chicken nuggets or somethng..LOL
I do things like that al of the time to show him I love him...him on the other hand, when he's feeling romantic he'll say something so incredibly sweet like, oh say, "Wanna bone" rolleyes.gif freaking idiot..he doesn't have a clue!

gr33n3y3z replied: I agree with MomToMany ........ Ed is the romantic one I'm the one who needs to be hit with a baseball bat better yet jumper cables LOL but once it starts Ok I'll stop here biggrin.gif

mama3x replied: I'm a candles, music, massage person...walks on the beach...dipping strawberries in chocolate and feeding it to one another...one flower instead of a dozen has more meaning...a letter...

Although I am getting to the point where if I came home one day and the house was spotless and organized like on HGTV, I would consider that to be romantic!
