Valentines day is approaching.....

[Spanky100]

Does any one have any romantic ideas for MEN?

Me and dp had a chin wag regarding valentines and I explicitly stated I wanted to be romanced and get something totally original and loving and romantic that a lot of thought has gone into (not that he's not romantic. He is)
I just get bored of the same old candlelit meal/flowers/chocolates/toys/sexy time

To which, he came out with well in that case I expect to be romanced too! What fantastic, unique, original thing are you going to do to me?

I thought I was romantic....

So yes, any ideas?

I do have a few things in my head but just wanted other people's opinions please?

Your thread title is mad. Valentine's Day is NOT approaching. Would re-post as 'Has anyone got any ideas on how to woo a man' as people might actually talk to you. Remember you are dealing with people who are angry at the thought of Christmas being mentioned in November...

PS Clearly have absolutely no ideas at all

He wants a blow job, and he wants you to swallow without gagging or immediately demanding he fetch orange juice.

We never bother with valentines either Jajas, its probably the least romantic day of the year in terms of adult life imo.

Not having someone is vastly different to being in an unhappy relationship.

I'm praying my husband is well enough to enjoy our DD2's first Christmas, so actually I really couldn't give a flying fuck about Valentine's day which is more than 3 months away.

Keep on being smug in your own happy relationship.

I will Rindercella

Although really, if people were a bit more polite in the first place there would really be no need!

This is all the fault of the people who put their tree up in November! Now we have fecking valentines day in December

Honey, surely standard valentines day romance doesn't needs to be planned for 3 months?? I'm not sure this is evidence that none of us have happy relationships...

Fwiw, my two best eve Valentines surprises for dh are:

• during broke stage, told him I was taking him somewhere really different - big surprise, couldn't tell him anything. Dropped random hints for weeks - 'you might want to dress up warm..." "You're not going to wear those shoes are you? Wellies might be better" etc etc. He picked me up in his car, I got him to drive 5 minutes away (dropping more random hints), then said I'd dropped my purse, needed him to go home. Got him to come in and go check if I'd left it in the basement. Which was fully decked out with candlelit rubbish. Full 5 course meal prepared
• during less broke stage, got him to London (we were both working in Midlands) with his passport, and overnight bag, thinking he was going for weekend with friends. Got him on Eurostar to Paris - everything booked and sorted - stayed in cool hotel just round corner from Moulin Rouge

Standard valentines day romance doesn't need 3 month no planning no.

But we're both bored of standard and doing something mroe unexpected and big this year.

Thank you for your suggestions :)

I like romance, but I agree with jaja about what valentines has become. You did something unique to you and your dh - but you didn't feel that you had to do something iyswim. I have not judged anyones relationship on this thread and I for one am superduper romantic - I proposed to dh whilst I was doing the ironing and he was putting his squash kit away .... and he cried and everything (with happiness I think but with the hindsight of ten years I could be wrong, it may have been fear smile) so nuff said!

Oh and dh said he used to like it when I bought him flowers every so often, even though it was embarrassing he was always rather chuffed. hth.

Somewhat strange question.

What would need three months preparation?

Run the Seville Marathon together? Three months would give you enough time to train.

Plant some snowdrop bulbs on the lawn to spell out a special message?

Brew some beer and age it for three months?

Write a book of poetry?

Make a film, like this guy?

Learn a new type of dancing and do a dance for him?

Travel around the world in 80 days, carving your beloved's name on a tree in every country you visit and then returning in time for Valentines Day?

I can't imagine how VD comes up in conversation in November.

Since you asked: take your choice from:

1. Steak and blow job

2. Turn up naked. Bring beer.

You could go on romanticideas.com

Although they should really have called it somehackneyedcrapwiththeoccasionalWTFthrownin.com - apparently men should "Surprise her by handing her the remote."

I like ilovesooty's ideas better.

when are you going to post the link to your website selling whips and dildos OP? I'd say now would be a good time, y'know before you are rumbled...

Cheers, fairycake123!

get him a selection of vibrators ?

MN seems to be obsessed with 'em at the mo

Spanky100 Sorry the are being mean!
We have talked about it as the 1st one as husband and wife and the last before our baby arrives!

I think we are going to go to Kracow (not sure how you spell it) in Poland for the weekend. No not romantic visiting concentration camps but we have wanted to go for years and have some culture when its just the 2 of us. Yes we are thinking of it now as these things all need to be paid for some how and we have only 3 pay days til then.

Hope you get a good idea soon!

that's better!

was just testing

Ye gods, this is a bit previous. But since you ask . . . having just been for an absolutely earth-shatteringly incredible meal in a local restaurant, that's what I'd suggest. Book something fabulous way in advance. I know it's a bit obvious but at the same time - I think my DP's eyes nearly came out of his head while he was eating, he was so happy.

Depends where you are of course - London prices might make this idea a bit restrictive. But this was Cornwall and therefore reasonable, even with the surprise bottle of champagne . . .
