JFF Most Romantic Thing

Aw..that's sweet.

For me, it's the little tiny things I find most romantic: how my husband grabs for my hand in the car, takes my hand as we're walking, puts his hand on my back or leg at a party while we're mingling, stealing a little kiss here and there......

My husband is so NOT romantic. I have to practically write things out for him to do for him to be romantic.

But, he is sweet...and he does do nice things for me that are not nessarily "romantic" but they let me know that he was thinking about me and that he loves me.

Like....he will get me my favorite candy, or treat from the store.
He will randomly wash my whole car, inside and out.
He will send me a text in the middle of the day to say he misses me.
He will buy something for my car that I have been missing, without telling me.
He will cook me breakfast.
He will fix a necklace or some other item of mine that I broke and was too lazy to fix. He wont tell me about it, he will just put it somewhere I can find it.

Little things...not nessarily romantic, but sweet never the less. At least he is thinking about me! :)

So many things.

One of my favorite was when I worked at a department store.. I was exhausted.. He called to see about what time I would be getting off from work and what I wanted to do about dinner. I told him I was so tired, I could not even think of dinner, I was even dreading have to walk from the store all the way to the end of the parking lot, especially since it was over 100 degrees outside. I knew my car would not even cool off by the time I got home.

As I was walking out towards my car, I began to notice something strange. It appeared my car was running. I was horrified thinking I had left it running all day!!!! But then I realized I was carrying the keys.. Sure enough, the car was running, when I opened the door, the air conditioner was running, there was an iced drink and a small package of my favorite cookies!!!

My husband had gone and prepped my car! I looked all around but did not see him..

When I arrived home he rubbed my feet and told me to take a nap.. (he had, been in the parking lot, making sure the xar was safe... ) .. Clever man.

The way he cried and hugged me so tight right after our son was born (He still brags that I'm "superwoman" when it comes to giving birth), his proposal, and the most recent:

My hair sheds A LOT. He finds my hairs everywhere... Literally. He texts me at least once a day complaining to me about finding another one of my hairs (My response is always that I'll just cut my hair short and it won't be so much of an issue... Then he replies 'NO' cause he loves my long hair... It's a love hate relationship). Anyways, after a weekend of fighting, he sent me a text yesterday morning reading 'Good morning, my love. I just found one of your beautiful hairs on my jacket as I was leaving for work and it reminded me of you.'. Was he trying to butter me up? Yes. But I still loved reading it! :)

-When we first staring dating he would fly every two weeks to see me.
-Once we went to the movies and my money drop out of my jeans, he went back to look for it and he "found" it, I always knew he put it there to make me feel better.
-He learn how to say: "I want to married your daughter/mom" in Spanish and asked my mom and my daughter
-He sold his motorcycle to buy my daughter a castle bed with slide.
-He is into sending me stuff, it has change with the years, first was stuff animals, then flowers, chocolates, now he sends me Mexican candy that he knows I miss.
-He takes red eyes flies when possible to be with us a few more hours.
-He got me a doll house with furniture because I told him I always wanted one when I was little but never had.
-He gave up his office so we could have a room for when my mom (or guest) visit us...sometimes for a month.
-He still holds my hand and opens the door for me.
-In 10 years of marriage it has never being a day that he doesn't tell me he loves me.
-He defend me against his family
-He saved the napkin where I wrote my e-mail when we meet.
-He is now spending so much money with lawyers so he can legally adopt my daughter.
Etc,etc,etc.
We have had our ups and downs, we fight and love each other, but we barely go to bed mad at each other, and even when we do, he stills tells me "I love you", and I would say "me too" =*)

I'm jealous. No surprises here in years .... years.

My husband is not a real big kisser. He kisses, but its never much, and not huge gobble eachother up type kisses. But I still remember the feel and thoughts that ran thru my head when he held me tight and kissed me for about 30 seconds at our wedding! I asked him later about it, and he said, "I thought youd like that"... THATS romantic and sexy to me. That and when he cried when our kids were born. Thats romantic if you ask me. Flowers, no big deal,, his kiss and his tears,, yes.

most romantic thing....proposing during a laser lights/fireworks show on 4th of july.

probably also the last romantic thing...lol. no, just kidding. we give air kisses. not like giant ones with hand over the mouth like blowing kisses...just a quiet "smooch" in each other's general direction. always have. just as a way to say, "i am here" or "love you baby". we say "luv u" at the end of every phone call or text, which i did not grow up with, that was something he did on his own.

I have enjoyed reading these responses. Such sweet husbands! My beloved takes me on surprise trips occasionally (birthday, anniversary). I have the bonus of having a pilot for a husband, so he rents a plane and jets me off somewhere. He never tells me where we are going, just what types of clothes to pack (warm weather, cold weather, etc). He always plans a nice hotel, dinner reservations, a special play or something like that. This is fairly recent, and I had no idea he had this in him. He has been known to bring me flowers for seemingly no reason at all other than he was thinking of me and loves me. Yes, I'm blessed. ;)

My hubby does a lot of little romantic things. If I say I want or need something, he is very good at keeping mental notes and down the road he makes those things happen, sometimes long after I forgot them. When he gets home from work I am usually cooking dinner, but he always comes up behind me and hugs me first thing when he walks in the door and he always grabs my hand when we are walking in somewhere or on a long drive. Sometimes, he rights me little notes that say "Today's reason why I love you is......." and he will randomly leave it where I can find it, or text it to me or put it on my facebook. :)

Does this have to be recent stuff... or just in the span of the entire marriage????
LOL

To propose to me, my Husband wrote a poem he made up himself, and took me to dinner at the restaurant that was special to us.
I didn't know he had that planned. It was a surprise.
We have been married 15 years.

Mine made me a CHOCOLATE bowl and filled it with M & M's. BEST gift EVER!

Poems...the first one he wrote for me was read by the preacher at our wedding.

The little things.

When he holds my hand, puts his arm around me, the way he looks at me, the fact that I know even though we have a lot of challenges, he is still crazy about me.

Always for my birthday and annicersary, when we go out to eat, he has a gift hiding for me that the servers bring out - he's cute :).

Most recently, last night he bought me ice cream, Thin Mint Chocolate!!

My husband is a very romantic man. We have a notebook next to our coffee pot, and we leave each other love notes. I think he is better at it than me! He texts me multiple times a day. After 13 years, we still hold hands every chance we get (and we are both 50). Whichever of us gets to the bathroom first at night lays out the other one's evening pills. His most recent, completely random romantic moment was Saturday morning, I'm walking around in old slouchy PJ bottoms, one of his old T'shirts, hair sticking up all over, smeared makeup from the previous day - great mental pic, huh? - and he says "you sure are beautiful!" in a very heartfelt way. Made me just about melt!

My Sweetie is stationed in CA (Marines), but our home is in NM, so we don't get to spend a lot of time together right now. But when he comes home, he manages to leave little things for me, so I know he's always thinking of "US".

On one of his return days, I had to work, so I had to leave the house while he was still there (really hard to do). After I left, he ran to the grocery store and bought a bunch of flowers, brought them home, took down EVERY vase we own (I collect crystal), fill each with flowers and spread them through out the house. I came home that night wanting to cry becasue I knew the house was empty, and found the flowers he'd left...pretty awesome.

When we were in high school, he had a habit of removing the pull tabs from his soda cans and giving them to me. Neither of us had a lot of money, so those tabs didn't happen a lot. I kept them all and would thread a string bracelet through them and wear it on my wrist. He does the same thing now with Monster tabs (I still wear some around my neck on a set of his dog tags) and the dove chocolate wrappers with sayings on them (when he finds one he likes)...only he'll leave them in odd places for me to find after he's gone. I've had them drop out of my tea cups, I've found them in my jacket pockets, in the cup holder of my truck, on the edge of the fireplace mantle, under my purse, in my make-up drawer, on my pillow...

He snuck a note into my drawer at work telling me how much he loves me and how much I mean to him...I found it after he'd left. My bldg is secure, I have to escort him in, so I have no idea when he did it...maybe when my boss called me into his office (which is actually joined to mine)...he also made me an "award" out of office supplies and left it on my desk...

My hubby randomly brings me flowers, probably a couple times a month. He will also bring me home a sweet card if he's known I've had a particularly hard day with something. He'll also take my mini van for the day and bring it home nice and shiny and clean. He also lets me sleep in every day and gets up with the kids. Then before he leaves for work he wakes me up by bringing me a nice hot cup of coffee every single morning while I'm still in bed. He will ask me all the time if I need anything and if I ask for something, he will do it. He's very good to me and the kids. I don't know that any of that falls under "romantic", but I'm so blessed by him every day. =)
