Romancing the Pam

I spent some time thinking about the whole dating and romance thing. It gets harder as you get older and busier. I know it might be a little late, but I wanted to thank some of my ex-boyfriends for nice things they did for me.

Tom
~~~~~
Surprised me on Valentine's Day with 2 dozen roses and stuffed shells. He blind folded me and convinced his sister to let him borrow her apartment, which was a big deal to a 16 and 18 year old.

Came over when David and I broke up and read me to sleep with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Gave me kitty.

David
~~~~~
Surprised me by figuring out my locker combination and putting a dozen roses in it to surprise me.

Gave me bunny.

Jason
~~~~~
Bought me a bracelet and earrings

Drove from Lakelend to come see me in St. Pete

Ryan
~~~~~
Picked me up from work in the rain with no shoes, soaking wet, and a single rose

Left flowers and balloons in my class where I sat so I could find them on Valentine's Day

Wrote/sang me two love songs

Made the Pam on a Pedestal graphic (had to be there)

Picked me up from the airport with a sign that said something sweet

Wrote me an olde time-y letter

Kyle
~~~~~
Bought new pet tags for the cats

Jay
~~~~~
Left a trail of flowers from the drive way to the bedroom

Bought me Scuro and Ra earrings

Jim
~~~~~
Bought me a necklace with my Chinese zodiac

Sean
~~~~~
Brought me flowers on our first date

Bought me roses and surprised me with chicken marsala for dinner

Left sweet post-it notes on the refridgerator

Called me every day at work

Jason
~~~~~
Gave me an orange candle and a picture frame for my office

Put together my bookshelves and office shelves while I was out of town

~~~~~
Thanks guys for the sweet things you did for me. I hope you know that they didn't go unappreciated.


Some romantic things I have done:
- Went bug collecting with a bf who was interested in entomology
- Wrote sweet stuff in sidewalk chalk up to the apt door
- Bought an engraved Louisville Slugger
- Named a star
- Bought a PS and a PS2 (at different times)
- Threw a surprise birthday party
- Bought cards
- Made CD's
- Made photo collages
- Tied get well ballons on the car when he was at work
- Bought a Brother Bear
- Made dinner
- Planned a picnic on the beach
- Bought fish (Fire, Water, and Air)
- Treated his mom to lunch and a manicure
- Sent a singing telegram
- Sent balloons to work
- Made a scrap book
- Took him to Niagara Falls
- Gave a subscription to a computer magazine
- Gave warm oil massage
- Danced in the rain
- Filled a room full of balloons

Okay, that is enough of the gushy stuff. I figured since I brought on the whole age, religion, politics debates earlier in the week that I would write something softer. :-)

So, what are some more romantic ideas? What kind of romantic things do guys like? I think it is harder to figure out things to do for guys. What kind of romantic gestures have you made? I e-mailed the link to my blog to some of my female friends, so maybe we will hear from some of them soon.

Really esteem, if a woman to only lend to the attention me to me and
with. He must be free who would be the relative friend. Esteem, if the
women are not timid in the value by defect of the aligned one of her.
