101 Romantic Ideas PART 3

IDEA # 21
Invite your partner to go for a walk. Get a back pack and pack the following
items: A picnic blanket, a selection of fruit in small containers eg.
strawberries, grapes, watermelon and kiwi fruit. Some cheese and crackers.
Some sandwiches. A small tin of caviar. A half bottle of champagne and two
plastic champagne glasses. If your partner asks what's in the backpack, just
say a jacket and some lunch.

When you find a romantic spot, ask if she would like to stop for a bite to eat.
Open your pack and remove the items one by one to set up your picnic. The
last item you remove should be the glasses and champagne.


IDEA # 22
If you play a musical instrument, create a romantic environment in which to
play for your partner. For example, let's say you play the saxophone. Contact
your partner's roommate and arrange for her to make sure that your partner
steps out onto the balcony of their apartment at exactly 9.30pm.

Drive to her apartment and set up before hand. Place a large sparkler in the
music holder of your sax and light it as your partner steps on to the balcony.
Play something slow and romantic.


IDEA # 23
Use this idea if your partner is going to work and you are staying at home for
some reason (Perhaps you are sick or are working from home).
Say goodbye to her at the front door and then immediately send an email to
her work address. The email should simply say,

"Miss you already".

The email will be in her in-box when she does her morning email check.


IDEA # 24
If your partner has long hair, take the time to brush it using long slow strokes.
This is particularly effective after she has had a shower or when she is getting
ready for bed


IDEA # 25
On a special occasion like your partner's birthday, plan a treasure hunt for
her. The fun begins when you suggest going for a walk on the beach.
When you get to the beach, carry a small bag with you. The bag contains a
bottle that you prepared earlier. Inside the bottle is a treasure map. To make
the treasure map look authentic, burn the edges with a match.

As you are walking, slip the bottle out of your bag and let it drop to the sand
near the water's edge. You may have to pause and kiss your partner to do
this unnoticed. Walk a little further up the beach then turn around and retrace
your steps to 'discover' the bottle.

On the map have a dotted line leading from the beach to a nearby cafe. At
the cafe, your partner won't know what to look for so suggest that you just sit
down and have a cup of coffee.

When the waitress delivers the coffee, she suggests to your partner that she
might find what she is looking for under the coaster. When your partner turns
over the coaster she finds a key taped to the bottom. Obviously you wil have
to set this up before hand with the waitress. Most waitresses wil be happy to
help a romantic guy out with this type of thing.

At the next stop on the map, your partner finds or is given a spade. Then at
the last stop on the map your partner finds a large 'X' made up of two crossed
sticks. She digs and discovers a locked box. The key unlocks the box to
reveal her present.


IDEA # 26
Invite your partner on a date by sending her a plain brown envelope
containing a tape. On the tape, record the Mission Impossible sound track
and then record yourself saying, “Your mission if you choose to accept it is to
make your way to Café Venoli, 123 Park Lane at 18.30 Eastern Standard
Time. There you will rendezvous with a stunningly attractive man wearing a
red carnation. The future of the free world is now in your hands. This tape
wil self destruct in five seconds.” Then record ten beeps from a stopwatch
and record yourself saying, “Would you believe ten seconds…” Its corny but it
usually gets a laugh!


IDEA # 27
Contact your partner's family and ask if there was anything she always
wanted when she was a little girl.
For example if she always wanted a porcelain doll, buy one for her birthday.
She will not only appreciate the gift but also the fact that you were thoughtful
enough to find out what she always wanted.


IDEA # 28
Organize a professional photo shoot to obtain a portrait of the two of you as a
couple. Frame the picture and put it somewhere prominent. Remember to
make sure you give your partner plenty of notice so that she can get ready.


IDEA # 29
Write a note saying

"I thought of you today, and it made me smile."

Leave the note somewhere where your partner is sure to find it.


IDEA # 30
For Valentines Day, buy your partner a charm bracelet with at least 14
charms.

Remove all the charms and let your partner 'find' one charm each day for the
first fourteen days of February. On Valentines Day give her the bracelet and
any remaining charms.
