It sounds as if you already have some very creative ways of expressing
your feelings. I hope that your feelings are reciprocated, and that
you are not overwhelming Amy with all of this attention.
In my limited experience, one of the nicest things about the early part
of a relationship is the building of shared experiences. You tend to have
more creative dates then you will later on. It is nice to have some
special moments to look back on. Sometimes (not always), the memory
of a really special day is worth more than a stack of love letters.

Yeah, it's really a shame to have to deal with all the garbage. But I find the
serious discussion that often arises in ARC more important than complaining
about the Spam.

Unfortunately, I think I made the mistake of devoting too much attention to a
loved one. She was probably frightened by all the attention I gave. But I
wonder if there is some magic amount of attention that balances perfectly. I
feel the need to be especially diligent in relationships, because otherwise I
feel as though I'm not doing enough to keep it alive.

As much as I would like to have those "wonderful experiences", I feel as if
they are overshadowed by the bad ones. After a breakup, I find it insanely
difficult to cherish the positive parts of that relationship. I have my share
of memorable dates, but I reflect on them much differently outside of that
relationship.

Good point. Many people are easily overwealmed, and even those who
aren't can find the particular attentions you give a bit much.
Cooling off for a while might be the most "romantic" thing you could
do - just experience the precious moments (as the previous poster
mentioned) and don't overdo things; let her know you like to be with
her and it's not just "the idea of her" you're in love with.
Other than that, it's always nice to do something that is indeed
personal and special. Hand-made jewelry is an example. Or, if she
likes a certain musical group, a rare CD from them. (Note: this can
be taken to excess. My ex-girlfriend was surprised when, for one
birthday, I did *not* give her a CD. Then again, I can only recall
one non-music-oriented thing I got from her....)
>Sometimes (not always), the memory
>of a really special day is worth more than a stack of love letters.
True. And your next girlfriend won't want you to burn the memories,
either. (;

A love ballad, very nice (takes mental note)
I've never been one to write love letters, though in celebration of mine
loves and I 6 month anniversary I've made a landscape sculpture to fit a
poem I wrote... (It's very deep and personal to me) The best gifts you
can give a person are the ones that have sentimental value or a meaning
behind it, its the little things that count.
I still have the ticket to the midevil faire I went to, it was the same
day I found out how she felt. The amulet I always wear around my neck
was one I purchased that same day, Peaches is right, shared experiences
are more than a handful of love letters.
Anyhow another thing that came to mind is candlelight dinner, I'm
having one today:) think lady and the tramp. No restaraunts, just the
two of us, alone, at home. Hope you can cook:)
I also plan on taking my girlfreind horseback riding in the spring...
and spending the weekend out in the country (hiking) Two nights
together, and two rooms. A queen and two twins, she can decide which
room she wants and weather I'm in it or not. Sex is not in mind at all
here, but just holding the one you love in your arms while she falls
asleep is one of the greatest experiences in the world to me. Just
another idea you could try... Hope this helps

Give your loved one a gift you've made yourself, incorporating souvenirs
from a special occasion the two of you have shared. For instance,
laminate a
keepsake box with snapshots taken during your courtship. Or frame a
special drawing or painting you created while on a particularly romantic
trip.
Give your mate a ring or watch engraved on the inside with your own and
your love's initials, or a romantic phrase.
Buy your love a sexy, sensual piece of clothing. Make sure it's
something that feels really good to wear, such as a silk shirt, a floaty
sarong, or
ultra-soft socks.
Start a scrapbook chronicling your coupledom. Devote certain pages to
your home, to holiday trips, to important moments in your lives
together.
Make collages with snapshots, ticket stubs, cut-outs from maps or
brochures, pressed flowers, match book covers, etc. give it as a gift on
your
anniversary.
Commission two personalized champagne flutes to use on special occasions
or for everyday. Consider having crystal, silver, or pewter flutes
engraved with your entwined initials or your wedding date.
Alternatively, have a local artist or craftsperson create one-of-a-kind
ceramic chalices or
hand-blown glass goblets.
Buy gifts ahead-of time, and warehouse them in a "Gift Closet."
Buy her a locket and put your pictures in it
Tiffany roses, they are a little more expensive, but are exquisite, with
a fragrance like no other. The perfect think to bring home after a long
day.
(thanks to Ira)
Invest in cards! Have cards around for every occasion. You never know
when the mood will strike. Don’t let it go unfulfilled because you don’t
have
the supplies. I love notes. Post-its are a romantics best friend. Put an
ILOVEYOU on the bathroom mirror, a heart on the meatloaf in the frig...
all
over. Put a special request in the panty drawer(thanks to Ira)
Another way to use notes is the treasure hunt. Leave a trail of notes...
guide him or her from the kitchen to bed room to closet all over, leave
candy
kisses or other love-charms along the way. Let the last clue lead to the
shower, or a special place to cuddle... (thanks to Ira)
What I'm planning to do for my girl this Christmas is write her a song
and sing it.. Anyway I was gonna get video taped images of me and her
and
make a music video by dubbing in the sound with the images. She can
watch it and listen to me sing her a love song at the same time. The
best part of
it is she can either show it off to all her friends or just keep it for
her own use..(thanks to romen)
Get one of those greeting cards or picture frames with a recordable chip
in it. That way you can leave a personalized message.
Create a Time Capsule- Put wonderful things that remind you of your love
for each other in it. On your next anniversary, dig it up and look at
it.
Do YOU have a favorite photo of her, the two of you, or her and your
children? The most beautiful of picture frames can be purchased at all
cost
levels and of all different materials. Put in your favorite photo for
her nightstand or desk. It will touch her to know it's your favorite!
Start a charm bracelet for her.! Get one for her for a special occasion
and continue to add a charm for other special occasions.
Have a provocative photograph taken. Find a REPUTABLE photographer in
town to do it. You don’t want those negatives ending up where they
shouldn’t. Frame one and give it to him for the office if you dare. If
not, have wallet sized pictures made.
Have a special photograph blown-up to poster size. Most copy shops do
this. Hang it in the bedroom or family room.
Buy a set of satin sheets and put them on the bed without saying a word.
What a soft surprise.
Make a care package with love notes, cookies, phone cards(for long
distance relationships), musical tapes, a new movie, or other little
gifts. Pack it
and put it in the mail. Don’t forget a new picture of yourself.
Send a lipstick imprint of your lips, laminated, that they could keep
with them.
Arrange with an airline steward or stewardess to have a gift or flower
delivered to her after the flight is airborne.
Send virtual flowers (there are good links on my links page)
Does your honey drink a lot of coffee? Buy a kit to design your own
coffee mug. Most of them come with a mug and crayons. You create your
own
design and microwave the cup to make it permanent. Give her an extra
lift in the morning.
You can get colored Elmer’s glue at the store. Draw a picture on a
window or mirror with the glue and it will dry colored. When you want to
remove
the design it peels right off of glass.. Give him a field of flowers in
the middle of winter.
Make a permanent bouquet out of colored construction paper. Put it in a
basket or a flower box or a vase. Never needs watering.
Got lots of time? Cut dozens of paper hearts of different colors.,
attach string and hang them from the ceiling with tape or a stapler.
Get a bunch of WILD flowers and deliver them. It's a lot different than
just ROSES!
Stop by the flower shop now-and-then and get a single flower.
Make something childish using Elmer's glue and construction paper. Wrap
it up and give it as a gift.
Send him flowers at work.
Fill up the car with balloons or flowers.
Hide a great gift inside something else. This happened to me once. For
Valentine's day, I got a box of chocolate covered cherries with a gold
necklace
hidden where the second layer of candy should have been .

Instead of going forward & backward with the fight and waste time &
bandwidth in between. I would suggest to add Charlie to your kill filter
in your news reader & voila. Charlie is faking his posting origin, you
could however trace back to the injecting point. Anyway there's no point
for this. Just add "Charlie*" to your Subject/From and you're done.
Hmmm... maybe we should add another commandment, the 11th commandment:
THOU SHALT IGNORE TROLLS !

Sounds good so far.. Sometimes, just the little things can be
incredibly romantic. There was one night my girlfriend and I were
ordering pizza for dinner. Typical, run of the mill ordinary take out
kinda night. But, we lit some candles on the table, and put on a cd in
the background, and *bang*, you've got a romantic evening....
I also like to randomly leave an I miss you, or I love you type
card sitting on the kitchen table, for no reason at all, and it seems to
brighten her day. Not too frequently though, or it loses the effect.
How about singing to her... Not like, serenading her in a
restaurant or anything, but sing her to sleep one night. I find that
romance is usually in your eyes. I am blessed with incredibly expressive
eyes. So, lie her down and hold her head in your lap, sing a nice, soft
tune, smile, and stare lovingly into her eyes... It feels great, its
uplifting, its a deeply personal, romantic moment, and its fun as he**.
None of these are all that extravagant, but they don't have to be. Any
gesture that is more of showing her you love her than telling her can
turn any night into one of tremendous romance.
Clean the living room one night, get all dressed up, put on a CD,
and slow dance a couple of tunes. No reason, but if you do it right, the
message comes across.
Search your heart. I'm sure you've got several ideas already,
and you're just looking for us to tell you you're allowed to do the,. Go
ahead. Take a chance on that little thing that you think is a pretty
dumb idea. I bet she'll love it. It works for me. Some of the things
that I thought were really dumb ideas that would just come across as
really corny wound up being terribly romantic.
And then there's the larger scale approach. I've rented a log
cabin in the Poconos with a fireplace and a gas stove, and we're going to
stay there for a couple of nights, and I'm going to propose there. We're
both into camping and hiking, so we're going to take a few day hikes
while we're at it, and I'm bringing along some Sparkling Cider (we're
non-alcoholic)... nice, warm log cabin in the winter, sitting in front
of a fireplace in sweatpants, sweaters and socks, reading to her, and
drinking some sparkling cider... That's another way to go.... (hopefully
there's going to be snow outside as well...)
Anyway, the point is, it doesn't really matter what you do. As
long as your heart is in it, and you don't try to go overboard, you'll be
fine.
Best of luck to you!

I don't know how recent your breakup was, but healing takes time. Usually,
it takes a lot
of time. For me, it is like grieving, except that when someone dies, your
friends and loved
ones support you more.
It seems as if you are hanging on to some anger, and focusing on the bad
experiences to
justify the breakup. As time passes (years, not months) you may again be
able to remember
some of the good things. Your first kiss is no less special if you are no
longer with
the person who did the kissing. There are memories that are too special to
be suppressed.
To keep these memories locked away is to shut down something wonderful
within yourself.
Hugs for the Holidays.

He ever wrote the above is mean... and has no sensitivity to others. I
really feel sorry for you. You must be a very sad person. Remember always
we get back twice or even more than what we give. If you give sadness or
discomfort to others, well expect just that in the future. Thus, try
giving good vibrations and feelings to others... it will make you so much
happier.
As to you Tony Mendez, keep up the good work. I truly believe you are a
very happy person. As to what else to do for your loved one, just follow
your heart. If you don't mind me saying so, you have a beautiful heart and
your loved one is very luck to have someone like you loving her. Bye-bye.
