Message: <blockquote data-quote="werk" data-source="post: 2905779" data-attributes="member: 29663">Lots of great suggestions.  I would start by examining what does 'something romantic' mean?Usually it means you two will need to be alone, or at least have your privacy.Undivided attention, make sure she is the focus.It's a good time to remember great times that you've had and talk about great times/things to come.Reconnect.I don't think romance is about buying flowers or buying food or buying whatever, it's about the time shared together in the proper environment.  Those other things may make her happy, or more inclined to feel romatic, but I don't necessarily believe they are romantic in and of themselves...they are just gravy.Getting flowers is nice, but getting flowers, delivered by you for a surprise lunch date is much better...and frankly, makes you look better...more involved.  Anyone can call and pay someone to commit a romantic act for you, that takes less than a full minute most of the time, but a true romantic would want to do the act themself.What does she like that she doesn't or can't get everyday?  Is there anything that you shared previously that you could use?  Just like adventuring, you need a hook.  If you went to Hawaii for your honeymoon, make a mini-luau.  Order in her favorite food that you don't like (you should be able to find something on the menu you can eat).  It's about being focused on her, and giving of yourself.I've had a lot of luck with theatre dates, but my wife is getting her doctorate in theatre, so that may not work as well for you.  When I suggest that we see a play, instead of the hundreds of plays that she takes me to, it becomes special.  Have a cocktail (or whatever you prefer), see a SHORT play, grab a light meal in a dark, quiet restraunt on the way home, and when you get home, her favorite treat is sitting on the table with a card and flower(s).  ...something like that.</blockquote>
