Well I'm planning to do something romantic to my gf. I just had an epiphany last night that didn't allow me to sleep. I just had to write the plan. However, I want to hear what you guys/girls think.
This is what is going to happen. My gf lives in a lower level of house so she has a little corridor that she walks through and then she go ups a few steps to reach the sidewalk of her block.
When she comes out, the first thing she is going to see is the corridor moderately filled with rose petals but there is going to be a heart made out of petals.
Now the heart is going to have a missing piece and it is going to have a note in the middle which I will refer to as note #1.
Note # 1 is going to have something cute that I will write(why i love her,how she makes me feel,etc) and is going to hint at the missing piece.
The note says to continue to note # 2(which will be on the steps)which will be attached to a card with a poem written on it. I will say that the she can read it later and that she can continue to the last note.
Note# 3 will be on the last step and it is going to ask her to step in the middle of the sidewalk and close her eyes until i say to open them. I will put that she will find the missing piece to my heart.
Now this is where I come in with a rose which is her favorite flower. I will tell her that the missing piece to my heart has always been her. I will put her hand on my heart and tell how seeing her makes my heart skip a beat.
I will look at her and ask her to be my valentine. Of course, I'm assuming she'll say yes.
So what do you guys/girls think? Is it romantic? Give me your thoughts or suggestions.

As much as I hate these "I have a gf" blogs, it's a nice romantic idea, and i hope you get lots of sex that night.

If I'm brutally honest this made me want to vomit a little. But then my heart is made of stone

I'm sure she'll like it.
My experience is doing these elaborate plans never pay off as much as you imagine. I mean in terms of effort, anything from 5% to 99% seems to yield the same reaction.

What if someone else picks it up and reads the note and walks off with it? How is she supposed to know the note is for her when there are several tenants in the building?

Oh I meant house. I've waited for her before, she's the only one that comes out that early. I have a timing window that I need to exploit.

Indeed
As much as you would like to think that one of these grand gestures would "pay off" she usually reacts to it the same way she would if you bought her a box of chocolate and told her you love her.
But then again, your girlfriend might be different.

This is truer than truth.

tickets to concert + mdma

It's a nice idea, but it seems a little excessive. Just leave it at the strewn rose petals, and possibly the heart shape. Rose in your hand is perfectly fine though.
Also, I totally don't get the thing about Valentine's Day. What a bullshit holiday.
|
Was thinking "what a romantic idea" till I read Chill's post. By the way have you posted in this thread yet?
|
It's a little bit too much imo. Although I don't know her. I can see certain of my friends appreciating this and others breaking up on the spot :p
|
Vegas trip all the way
go go go
|
Seems a little bit extravagant imo. Sounds like a good gift for an overhyped chickflick.
I support what Chill says 100%. I bet you'll get either and awkward thank you reaction or the same reaction you'd get for 90% less effort.
|
How disgustingly romantic. I'm sure she will love it.
Being the lazy unromantic person I am, will probably just wrap up some presents and get some flowers. We've been together for 10 months and I still haven't bought her a single flower, so it should be relatively romantic LOL

You could say that, yes
You're like Apu when he made all of Springfield's men hate him for his elaborate Valentines day gifts

I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything but from a (not the, a) female perspective it's a little...gay. Cute, but gay. Maybe it's just not something I'm into but it's the whole missing piece of the heart bit. I just can't stomach it. Now a steak dinner. That I can stomach. I don't need anything over the top, just give me some dinner, god damnit.
I do agree that there is a lot of effort going into it when we're only going to say "Oooooh its so cute. I love it sooo much! I love yooou! *hugs* Here, I got you a scarf :3".
Then again, you're lucky if she gets you anything at all. Some girls think Valentines Day is about them is all I'm saying.
+ Show Spoiler +Boyfriend: I know you're reading this. Get on that steak.

I guess it's all preference from the female. I posted it in another site and the girls seemed to like it.
Edit: Eh, I'm not trying to be all defensive and I am taking into consideration what the guys have said. It has rained a little on my parade but I'm still thinking.
In fact, the only reason why I'm going with the rose petals is because she absolutely loves them and it reminds her of her home country.

She will defininately like even if it all goes wrong you still will get a "aaaawwww you´re so cuuuuute"
Oh God i´m lonely <.<

Like I said, a perspective. Hope it works out for you.

Thanks for the replies guys/girls. I will take all of your thoughts into consideration.

i think everything looks good, but you might want to reconsider the "you're the missing piece of my heart" line, which is a bit over the top. speak from your heart -- tell her the little quirks that you love about her (the way she...yawns? the way she mispronounces simple words? blah blah blah, all the details that you should pay attention to and love), and it'll feel more genuine.

Awesome. I will definitely implement that idea. Thanks.

Yeah well have to agree with Chill. Basicly you think it is worth it then you spend 3years (or more) with that person and then it doesn't even matter how much effort you put in, so after awhile you stop trying. Sad sad story, but true.

It sounds like it would just be easier to give her the roses rather than put them all over the floor.
Enjoy cleaning them up afterwards.

if i ever tried something like this with my gf she would probably burst out laughing at the cornyness of it all
|
you get 10 for the effort...she's not gonna find another guy who will do that for her...

Initial, superficial reaction, probably quite true. But the difference between doing this, and getting her a box of chocolates in the shape of heart with some dumb note in it (sooo cliche), is that she might actually remember this is the future. It's nice to do something special for people, that they can think on and have a little self esteem boost later. 5% effort will be forgotten within a week.

well you better make sure the neighbors know because they might mistake it for theirs

Rose petals leading to notes and missing heart pieces, yeah that hasn't been done a billion times before.
I'm not saying its not romantic, it is. But you had an epiphany and couldn't sleep over something you probably saw in three different movies or read about it somewhere and just don't realize it.

Well I'm not an avid movie or book person but if you can point it out where it's been done, please point to the movies.

Lol my girlfriend wants me to something cheesy and romantic like this too, and i need to think of something by tomorrow :-/ This seems a little over the top for me though, and we've dating for like 1.5 years.
