Romantic things to do for your boyfriend.
87Here it is
I've decided that my first foray into the world of "professional blogging" would be to reply to a request (aptly posted by a user by the name of Simpleton).
I'm not going to lie, I have absolutely "google-searched" (if it isn't already a term, it will soon be) keywords such as "gift idea" or "date idea" and "does it make me a terrible girlfriend that I must resort to google for these issues?" So this is by no means a jab at Simpleton's inexperience navigating the hundreds of thousands of posts that already exist bearing this title. I'm just responding to demand. Call it a business maneuver.
So let's refer back to the request. She (I'm just guessing!) asks for help concocting romantic things to do for her boyfriend. Because I do not know Simpleton, it's difficult for me to gauge whether her boyfriend is of the "gun toting NRA card carrying" variety or if he's the next John Mayer. For all I know this boyfriend of hers would be blown away by a home-made coupon promising to leave him and his "gaming cohorts" alone for 24 hours so that they can complete the next level of some online game involving dragons and ninja fairies. In all seriousness, take a good look at yourself: if you even suspect you fit into that category of "Slightly Overbearing Girlfriend" this may be just the romantic gesture for you. It doesn't sound like much, but you know what they say, Less is More.
We must also keep in mind that women like receiving gifts (call yourself a feminist if you'd like). No woman can say she doesn't appreciate some well timed flowers, chocolates or the ever popular jewelry. It's essentially a guaranteed romp in the hay for the giver. Men like gifts too. Hell, I bet they'd even appreciate being surprised by a random thoughtful gift that comes out of left field (for those of you dating sports fans, getting a pair of tickets to his favorite team's home game is always a good bet). Quality time together, doing something for him and I'd be willing to bet that you'd look pretty amazing on the girlfriend scale sitting next to him, cheering on his team in between mouthfuls of a foot long hotdog. Just trust me on this one.
My own situation can serve as example. I'm currently dating a soft romantic with a rather rough shell. Let's call him an M&M. So my delightfully sweet treat with his slightly hard, candy-coated exterior baffled me at first. I constantly found myself asking myself if it was too much of one side of his personality. Then I discovered something: I can get him the practical things that appeal to his "masculine side" and package them (ie a thoughtful home-made card or in a package with a batch of fresh cookies)... a little Suzie Homemaker? Perhaps... but it was dead on.
My last point for today will be a quick review of the old adage "The key to a man's heart is through his stomach." I would like to tweak it slightly. I have found that a big turn on (at least for my modern day traditionalist) is care giving/pampering. This may leave a sour taste in the psyches of some uber feminist types, but I say let those women spend their time proving they care by attempting to fix his car under the sweltering heat of the sun in hopes to maintain their outward appearance of the modern day feminist. I'd rather say "I love you" with a nice home-cooked meal, a night of pampering (men like being pampered too! Think massage...) or a movie night with all his favorite zombie beheading thrillers or war movies he never knew he wanted to see.

Not incompetent! Maybe unoriginal? Sorry you feel this way. I was just using your interesting idea for a request to start myself off on my first Hub.
I agree with the stomach part... Good thing I'm good at baking!
Here's a few things you won't find on the other pages. Try writing " I love you " on the bathroom mirror before he takes a shower. Or attempt to fulfill a fantasy of his. Take him on a make-believe adventure (tell him your running for your lives then take him to a paintball course and play a round or two then drive somewhere you've never been and stay in a little motel and make out like it could be the last time you ever do) okay it may sound a little corny, but oh man did this work for me & my man. Make him his favorite meal and bring it to his work for lunch (even if he has already packed a lunch, he can always eat it the next day). Tell him to invite his friends over for sports/poker night and make homemade pizzas, tacos, enchiladas, or other sports night food for him and his buddies. (Oh and make sure you look real good in front of his buddies, he will be so proud.) Then leave them to their party while you go read that book you've been wanting to read. Afterward, clean up after them. He will love it!!! Take him tool shopping at a local hardware store. I could go on and on. Use your imagination.
this is shit it didnt help me
i would like to say that i love my boyfriend so much he is them most amazing guy i have ever met. we have been dating for six months now and i have totally fell in love with him i never want to lose him he makes me feel like the top of the world and always has something amazingly cute and sweet and nice to say to me.....I AM IN LOVE and i love it i am always smiling and so so happy.

the heres a thought person is right i love paintball and i find it awsome if my girl is daring enough to play it with me.
I have been with my man for 7 years in March, every single page that i have looked at all says the same ideas. I feel pathetic that im googling ideas to make a night special for my man but after 7 years some ideas you have just get old and played out, they dont work as well as they did when we first got together! Especially like now, time have beeb really rough and we have definitely had a rocky relationship but we've always seemed to make it through the trouble times, and now it seems not so much! I am currently 4 and half months pregnant and my man doesnt wanna be with me because he says I dont get him enough positive output in our relationship! What am I supposed to do now??? Instead of turning my back on a man that ive loved so much for the past 7 years, I wanna try something new that will completely blow his mind... but my question is.... HOW DO I DO THAT?????
So anyways baby if your out there somewhere and somehow you read this, you'll know its me and I love you with all my heart!!!
ALways remember me!!!

I just LOVE how you're making me sound incompetent in the beginning of your hub. Ever thought that maybe I did google it and there were no satisfying answers because almost every page says the exact same stereotypical ideas?
