100 ROMANTIC IDEAS





IDEA # 1

If your partner is going away for a few days, tell her that you are worried about her so you have organized a bodyguard to look after her.  Then give her a
small teddy bear.



IDEA # 2

Buy a packet of glow in the dark stars and stick the stars on the roof above your bed to spell out a message such as "I Love You" When the lights go
down, your message will be revealed!



IDEA # 3

On a special occasion, buy your partner eleven real red roses and one artificial red rose.  Place the artificial rose in the center of the bouquet.


Attach a card that says:






“I will love you until the last rose fades.”



IDEA # 4

Buy the domain name of your partner's name if it is available for example www.TanyaJohnston.com.  Create a web page containing a romantic poem and a picture of a rose. When your partner is surfing the web, casually ask whether she has ever checked to see whether her domain name is taken.  Let her type it in to discover her page.





IDEA # 5

Buy a stylish hand mirror and give it to your partner as a gift.  Include a card in the box saying


“In this mirror you will see the image of the most beautiful woman in the world.”


IDEA # 6

Take a book that your partner is reading and using a pencil, underline letters in a section of the book she has yet to read to spell out a love letter.  For example in the following exert from a novel, the underlined letters come together to spell out the secret message "I love you"


The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and interminable. Initially they passed from building to building under the sodden sky.  Steve's feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the tireless traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk any proper distance.  Abruptly the guards halted.


The underlined letters will make your partner curious and with a bit of luck she will write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message such as "Dear
Belinda, I love you honey"




IDEA # 7

Have flowers delivered to your partner's workplace.  She will not only enjoy

the flowers but will also receive comments and attention from her office mates which will add to her enjoyment.





IDEA # 8

While walking with your partner on a weekend getaway, pick up a smooth stone and say that you're going to keep it as a special memento of your trip. Later, have a message such as


"I Love Rebecca"


engraved into the stone by a jeweler and give it to your partner.



IDEA # 9

Drive into the country, find a grassy hill and lie with your partner and look up at the clouds.


Play the kid’s game of looking for shapes in the cloud formations.



IDEA # 10

Get a piece of paper and some crayons.  Draw a bright childlike picture with a smiley sun and two stick figures holding hands.  Add labels with your two names pointing to the stick figures. Write "I Love You" inside a heart.


Next get a large formal envelope. Place your drawing inside and type up a formal address label of your partner's work such as:


For the immediate and urgent attention of: Rebecca Jones
Level 20

Collins & Smith Solicitors

New York



Mail it to your partner so she receives it in the middle of a busy day.





IDEA # 11

Memorize one of Shakespeare's love sonnets and recite it to your partner when you are in a romantic setting like a botanical garden.  Don't just suddenly start reciting poetry as this will just sound corny.


While you are cuddling your partner, ask in a joking manner, "So is now a

good time to recite a love poem to you?"  She will probably say yes, expecting you to come up with something of the "Roses are Red..." variety.


Instead, look into her eyes, smile and recite the sonnet while you gently stroke her face. Try the sonnet below.  If this is too long, just memorize the first four lines and the last two.


Shakespeare Love Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.






IDEA # 12

If your partner has to work late, take a lunch box and fill it with some of her favorite things such as chocolates, herbal tea, cookies, a small teddy bear.

Draw a big red cross below this and stick the paper to the top of the box.  Tell your partner to open the box when things get really tough.



IDEA # 13

If you are walking by a park, visit the swings and give your partner a ride.

This will often bring back happy memories from her childhood.



IDEA # 14

Leave a long stem rose where your partner will find it with a note on it saying:



"Thank you for coming into my life."



IDEA # 15

If your partner is starting a new job, buy a copy of "The Sound Of Music" sound track. Tape the song, "I Have Confidence" onto a tape and add your own message at the end of the song saying,


"Good Luck honey, I have confidence in you." Give the tape to your partner to play on the way to work in the car.





IDEA # 16

Buy a small decorated cardboard box, a sheet of colored tissue paper, some massage oil and a blank card.


Line the box with the tissue paper.  Place the massage oil in the box and write the following message on the card:


I know a great Masseur. For an appointment ring:
(Your Phone Number)



IDEA # 17

When your spouse has had a really long hard day, run a hot bath for her.

Pour some fragrant bath oil into the tub and gently bathe her from head to toe. Carry her into the bedroom.  Gently towel her dry and tuck her into a freshly
made bed with a kiss on the forehead.



IDEA # 18

For this idea you will need a portable CD player.  If you and your partner have a favorite song, get a copy of it on CD and take it with you when you go away for a romantic weekend.


When you are in a romantic spot, ask your partner if she would like to dance. Place one earpiece in her ear and one in your own and enjoy your private dance floor.


This technique is particularly effective if the romantic spot you have chosen is somewhere where people would not normally dance, for example, the top of the Empire State building at sunset or on top of a mountain during a camping trip.





IDEA # 19

If your partner has a pet that she adores, at Christmas, in addition to buying a

gift for your partner, buy a small present for her pet.



IDEA # 20

Go for a walk on the beach. Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the sand. Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go
down.



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 will have to set this up before hand with the waitress.  Most waitresses will 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 CafĂ© 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 will 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

"I thought of you today, and it made me smile." Leave the note somewhere where your partner is sure to find it.



IDEA # 30

any remaining charms.

"Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you."

until you are actually on the plane or arrive at the destination.



IDEA # 34

Buy some rose petals and place them behind the sun visor on the passenger side of your car. Take a post it note and write, "I Love You" on it and stick it to the back of the sun visor.

Ask a guy who is walking by whether he would mind helping you out.  Give him a rose, point out your partner and ask him to walk up to her and say, "Happy Birthday Meagan" and give her the rose and then walk away.  Repeat this with eleven other guys.  Choose guys who are not too good looking and choose guys of different ages.  A nice touch is to have the last rose delivered by a small child who could even by accompanied by his parents.


After the first twelve flowers have been delivered, approach your partner with the twelve remaining roses.





IDEA # 38

Always listen for things that your partner reminisces about and jot them down somewhere. For example, perhaps she talks about the ice cream that she had from a particular shop when she was a little girl.

Battle Field 3

Battlefield 3Battlefield 3 is the latest shooter from DICE and Electronic Arts, coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this holiday season. There are a lot of improvements made in this game but the two big improvements are complete vehicle customization and options for repairing vehicle battle damage.

Fifa 2012

Fifa 2012FiFa 2012 is set to be released on 30th September 2011. There are a lot of improvements made in this game so I am expecting that Fifa 2012 will be much better than the PES 2012.There are many people who believe that PES is better than fifa. No doubt. Graphics of PES are better than Fifa but game play of PES is really bad. The next installment of Fifa will mark the 19th year of this billion dollar franchise.

All-new Precision Dribbling delivers a higher fidelity of touch on the ball for attacking players, while Tactical Defending fundamentally changes the approach to defending by placing equal importance on positioning, intercepting passes and tackling.
