This is pretty cheesey, and I don't even know that one would consider it "romantic" lol but my husband actually left work and came home because I called him crying after getting in a (verbal) fight with my sister. He was patient and understanding and listened to me the whole entire time on the phone while I was whining and crying lol. He didn't even mention to me that he was coming home. I was sitting on the couch still crying talking to a friend when he walked in the door, sat down by me, and just hugged me. He said that he just couldn't stay at work knowing that I was home alone by myself and so upset. Forget the diamonds and candlelit dinners, THAT'S what I call romantic!

Just thought of a couple cute things Brian did for me. Once when I was sick,(we probably had been dating for a month and a half,) he sent me this big beautiful flower arrangement. We dated long distance, so it was so sweet that he thought of me. Another time, I was having a horrific day. I had yelled at Brian on the phone and I took it out on him even though it had nothing to do with him. I came home and I was telling my friends about it when my roommate Katie came down the stairs with a dozen beautiful roses. Brian had called her and asked her to buy the flowers for me(he payed for them of course.) He knew I was having a rough day and wanted to cheer me up. I burst in to tears because clearly I did not deserve them at that moment. My roommmate started to cry too. Isn't love Grand!!

As a matter of fact, today my husband and I are leaving for a romantic getaway. He surprised me by booking a cabin that we stayed at on our wedding night.

(once I get off here I gotta go pack)

Years ago while dating he shot off a HUGE heart shaped firework while I worked in a 5 story building. He called and said "Look out your window". He had me at that moment for sure!! It was very early morning and still dark outside, it was incredible!!

I read (I think on YT) that people express love in different ways.

1-Physical (not in a sexual way)--holding hands, patting back, rubbing leg, kissing forhead ect..
2-Verbal-- Saying I love you, telling them how you feel, talking about it ect...
3-Doing things-- i.e. being "Romantic" Small gifts, favorite meals, cleaning for them, ect...

Some people think that they are not being told they are loved because they expect the person to do it the way they do it. Most of the time women want it done in a "doing things" kind of way, while most men are physical.

For example I am totally a "doing thing" person while my hubby is "physical" person. I am not one to hold hands, but I will give little gifts, treats, and cards to him. My hubby used to not see that was how I was showing him that I loved him. All he saw was that I didn't want to hold hands all the time. When we went through pre-marital counseling before we got married, it totally clicked for us!! We were like "Oh!!!"

Now we can both see that the other person is showing love and affection and we both work on being more what the other person wants us to be, because that is how they "feel" it.

I came home from work one evening and my husband had draped the chandelier in the kitchen with wisteria in full bloom! It started at the ceiling, came down the chain, and went out to all the light bulb fixtures. It smelled heavenly! He had a clear bowl in the middle of the table and had floated gardenia blossoms in it. He also had dinner ready!
