What are some Romantic Ideas?

What are some romantic ideas i can do for my girlfriend at home?

• My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 10 months now. We both love eachother a lot and and have actually talked about our future together and everything, but I feel like I disappoint here sometimes because I have a hard time making decisions and I'm not the most romantic guy out there. I dont what it is, I just have a hard time coming up with ideas and being creative. Any suggestions on romantic things I could do for her at home and that doesn't cost a lot? Thanks!

• Answer:

  Start by writing her a romantic love letter. Tell her how you feel about her, reminisce about the good times you've had and how you have a secret surprise for her when she gets home. Put the letter in her handbag before she goes to work/college so she finds it during the day. This will help build the anticipation. Make sure your home is aired so open doors and windows and do not eat anything with a strong smell during the day. Next either buy some red roses or, if they are too expensive, buy some tulips. Pull off a couple of the heads and scatter the petals on your inside door mat with a small trail leading further into the house. Spray some of her perfume in the air near the front door and in the lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Next up you need to decide whether a nice home cooked meal is going to win her heart or if she prefers being pampered, or both! If she is likely to appreciate you cooking her a meal then get online and find some recipes for one of her favorite dishes. It doesn't have to be overly complicated as it's the thought that counts so don't let the thought of having to suddenly be a top chef be an impediment. Find something simple that you can knock together and, so long as you serve with some nice wine, a well laid out table with candles and a nice selection of tunes in the background, the quality of the food will not be harshly judged - just don't burn it is all! If she likes to be pampered you could go the extra mile and run her a hot bubble bath so that it is ready for when she gets home. Put some fairy candles around the bath to help set the mood and if she has any bath salts add these to the bath. Have her bathrobe ready and waiting in the bathroom. Now you could also offer to give her a neck rub whilst she's in the bath or just after - again just make sure you don't burn that food! Finally layout on the bed the clothes you would like her to wear over dinner. If you're unsure which to pick then layout three alternatives. Again this is all about you being thoughtful and telling her the outfits you think she looks most beautiful in. Finally serve dinner, have a great laugh, have a few drinks and enjoy each others company. All of that can be done on as low as $10 to $20 and it will be a night she will never forget and always appreciate.
