When you and your partner are enjoying a restful time away, organize to wake up early one morning and go to a scenic spot to watch the sun rise.

This may seem difficult but it is something which is definitely worth doing at least once. Seeing a new day being born is something really special to share with your partner.

♥IDEA LOVE 044

Find a comic strip that relates to something that you and your partner have shared together, for example perhaps you both work in the same office and you find a Dilbert cartoon that relates to the politics at your workplace.

Enlarge the cartoon using a photocopier and use white-out to cover the cartoon text. Type up your own text that relates to you and your partner and paste it in the appropriate places and then photocopy the cartoon again so that it looks like your text was the actual text of the cartoon.


For an added touch, get your customized cartoon laminated before giving it to your partner.

somewhere. For example, perhaps she talks about the ice cream that she had
from a particular shop when she was a little girl.

shop and buy a tub of ice cream making sure that the name of the shop is on
the container.

On a special occasion such as your partner's birthday, buy twenty-four red roses. Arrange to meet her at a specific spot in a shopping mall before going out for dinner. Get to the shopping mall early and position yourself around the corner from your meeting spot.

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.

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 LOVE 025

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 LOVE 024

for some reason (Perhaps you are sick or are working from home).

"Miss you already".


The email will be in her in-box when she does her morning email check.

♥IDEA LOVE 022

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 LOVE 021

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 LOVE 019

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 LOVE 011

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 LOVE 010

♥IDEA LOVE 006

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 LOVE 005
