Nothing particularly exciting I guess, but for me, my most romantic moment was just watching the sun set by the side of the river cuddled up to the lass I was completely head over heels with at the time
Your most romantic experience...
- Thread starter An Officer
- Start date
Oh, I have one more to tell. This is a copy of an instant messenger conversation I had once with a girlfriend.
Rothy says:
Ooh! I had a dream about you.
Tom says:
Uh oh!
Rothy says:
You, me, and Alex went to some museum or other, but decided to dress up. We wore old military uniforms from the 40's. But alex had a cape, and yours had the words 'I prefer SWAMP' screen-printed on the front. Mine said 'SWAMP'
Rothy says:
So that was kind of sweet, I guess.
Rothy says:
We decided to take a drive somewhere nice to take pictures, but somehow ended up in alternate universes, which made taking pictures awfully difficult.
I love that one. It's one part sweet, one part funny, and one part romantic. The best combination.

This was a sentiment. I experienced it in a dream.
I had been initiated into Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis, a so-called "occult" organization. I'd decided, if only subconsciously (being from a heavily Catholic and religious background) that I was now inhabited by demons, but at least of a good kind...Think Faust.
In the dream, my girlfriend at the time and I were at a prayer meeting...some Evangelical, Pentecostal service where they put their hands on your head and pray over you to heal you and such.
So, some "prayer warriors" tried to do that to me, but I grabbed them and tossed them across the room, where they hit a wall or something.
And so my girlfriend turns and says to me, "I'll go to Hell with you."

Waking up in bed naked next to a beautiful girl and being able to communicate wordlessly in those few moments of consciousness - with small "hmmms" - is also probably the most romantic thing ever.

I've done a few romantic things in my time, one time as a surprise, I redecoarated my girlfriends apartment to look like a restaurant using christmas lights and flowers, made dinner, got her favorite dessert and gave her a gift.
For the year and a half we were together, I must have kept flower companies in business single handedly because I never let her apartment be flowerless for more than a day or two.

I remember one time when we were early early dating my husband just randomly ran past my room in the dorms, threw a stocking full of candy in so that it knocked off my kleenex box and set off a series of events leading to one hell of a mess.
Okay you probably had to be there at the time, but it was pretty entertaining and the candy was good.

Hmmm... there have been lots of cute every-day stuff but I guess a "bigger" think was on an anniversary when me and my boyfriend drove to the place that we first figured out we wanted to be together and after a while a bottle of wine appeared out of nowhere. He has brought it along. The night was warm, the stars were bright, the wine was tasty and life was good!
You know, I was originally going to link to that Wikipedia article on Antarctica again [Oh, you old romantic, you - someone] but the more I think about it, I've actually had one or two fairly romantic moments (which of course went nowhere).
Perhaps the most romantic was a week-long trip to northern Italy with our choir, visiting such places as Verona, Venice and Lake Garda. Swimming in Lake Garda in full clothing with one very lovely member of the choir was one of the happiest moments of the last 10 years.

Aww, this is still the sweetest story in the thread...
Thanks.
I like all the casual everyday romantic stories in this thread. Grand gestures are nice, but it's the everyday thoughtfulness and consideration that I really love.

It doesn't have to be anything huge, it could be as simple as a candlelit meal prepared from scratch from your favourite ingredients...
Although very grand gestures are also welcome.
Hmm, my wife and I travel whenever we can to different cities. We've had some great romantic dinners in San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro and NY City.
I think it's the everyday things that mean the most though. When you look at someone or think of them and you're filled with love, that's pretty romantic too.
I have three that come to mind.
First, when my ex-husband and I first started dating, he invited me over for dinner. My paternal grandmother had passed away a few years earlier, and for some reason, when he asked me what I'd like for dinner, this one dish that she used to make came to mind. It was a fish kedgeree, and even though he hated fish (which I don't think I knew at the time), he made it for me (or at least tried to, since I didn't actually know how my grandmother made it). We laid a blanket down on his living room floor, lit some candles and had dinner picnic style.
In December 1998 (a little over a year after my marriage ended), I met someone. I remember going over to his apartment one evening, where we decorated his tree together. I don't get a tree myself (I never got into the habit when I moved into this apartment, mostly because I had a cat for the first seven years and was always afraid that she'd destroy it), so that stands out in my mind as a romantic evening of note.
And lastly, with my current boyfriend.. since ours is a long-distance relationship, we can't get together the normal way - so twice now, we've made the same meal for dinner, set up our laptops and webcams in our respective dining rooms, and eaten dinner "together". (Hey, when you're 1000 miles away from each other, you find different ways to spend time together...)
