I agree with everything on this list as affection.

What i would like my partner to do (if i had one) would be number 69 - Cuddle by the fireplace, but cuddles are always great wherever, or number 2 - Uninterrupted quality time.

A good question to ask is what would you do for your partner, well i love cooking soo definitely, number 6 - Breakfast served in bed and number 67 - Cook your significant other’s’ favorite meal.

The only ones i wouldnt do or don't apply to me are Number 35 - Bring him a cold beer while he watches football, doesn't work for me cause i don't drink and watch football as an in the background thing, and number 51 - Step outside of traditional gender roles to help each other (Cook dinner for her; take the trash out for him), as i already cook a lot and will be cooking for my partner and we might even cook together and none sound silly (unless i overlooked some lol)

Yeah, but #35 could apply to you as in: Bring him a cold Red Bull while he plays L4D, or something in that vein

Pearly wrote:Yeah, but #35 could apply to you as in: Bring him a cold Red Bull while he plays L4D, or something in that vein

Well yeah, but i don't drink Red Bull either, but i do play games often.

Maybe it should be interpret as bringing him refreshments when playing games as well

A note under the pillow is too corny imo, in fact any romantic note in general seems silly to me. Sending a sms to the person when you can't see them is fine, but giving them notes when you could just tell them yourself seems silly to me.

Breakfast served in bed is always good, I would like that. I think that would have to be my favourite, but I would prefer to not have the breakfast in my bed lol. I don't really want crumbs and **** potentially falling all over my bed, that's unhygienic. Bed should be kept for only sleep and sex imo, but making breakfast for the other person is always good.

A romantic picnic indoors seems stupid, wtf is that even supposed to mean!? Eating on the floor on a picnic rug inside your house? That is the most stupid thing that I have ever heared of, picnics are supposed to be outdoors and I would prefer to eat at the table indoors. A romantic picnic outdoors would be good though or just a romantic dinner.

Pouring on the chivalry is overrated and silly imo.

A bubble bath with rose petals everywhere is too much work and too much of a mess to clean up afterwards and I would personally prefer not to have a bath with plants, I could swim in a river for that. A bubble bath with candles and without the rose petals is good though, as long as the candles aren't going to create a fire hazard.

An "I love you because" list seems too corny and silly and it seems to me like what a couple would do for marriage counselling. Its better just to tell the person that you love them, there is no need for stupid notes or lists or whatever crap.

PDA is alright, but you don't have to do that to show your love to the rest of the world. There is a limit imo, people don't like too see too much of that.

Heart shaped pancakes and cookies are corny as well, I would prefer normal pancakes and cookies, they'll be just as good.

"A handwritten card sprayed with your scent" sounds very wrong to me, is that supposed to mean pissing on the card lmao. We are not skunks...

Renewing marriage vows is stupid imo.

"Place an “I love you” flyer under the car’s windshield wiper" is also stupid.

"Use cute pet names for each other" is also stupid and that would have to be my least favourite. I think I would be more disgusted by that if anything, my name is good enough.

"Rub your noses together" is also stupid... We are not dogs.

"Write a short fairy tale using you and your mate as the characters (Once upon a time…”)" is also stupid.

"Write a sweet message on a fogged-up mirror so he/she will see it after exiting the shower" is also stupid.

Creating a scrapbook together is boring.



The rest are alright.

"A handwritten card sprayed with your scent" means that you spray the cologne or perfume you usually wear on it, not pee lol.

10: don't complain when he leave the toilet seat up. That is not a sign of affection, because leaving the toilet seat up is really unheigenic. Because when you flush a toilet without the lid on, particles of the stuff that was IN in the toilet are now all over the room. Disgusting.

13: I disagree with this one, but I've explained my thoughts on this one in other threads

23: I wouldn't really find this romantic or anything, mainly because I'd have to bury my face in the card to smell it (my sense of smell is pretty crap)

30: is what friends should do, let alone your partner

34: is meh because I'm picky about what I use

41: I don't think boasting is ever good. Especially if your mutual friend/s are single, because it's like rubbing it in - I have a S/O and you don't na na nana

55: laaame

62: weird

Many of these should just be staple to any relationship: 75, 63, 57, 56, 46, 33, 30 etc etc

/agreed

Just copied Martin post and I will make my comments on it in yellow.

A note under the pillow is too corny imo, in fact any romantic note in general seems silly to me. Sending a sms to the person when you can't see them is fine, but giving them notes when you could just tell them yourself seems silly to me.
James has done this for me and I have done it for him. What is more romantic in telling someone you love them when you aren't even there in person? Finding a hidden love note is fun and loving because it is a nice surprise and they have gone to the effort to do that for you.

Breakfast served in bed is always good, I would like that. I think that would have to be my favourite, but I would prefer to not have the breakfast in my bed lol. I don't really want crumbs and **** potentially falling all over my bed, that's unhygienic. Bed should be kept for only sleep and sex imo, but making breakfast for the other person is always good.
Yes, that is why you change the sheets...

A romantic picnic indoors seems stupid, wtf is that even supposed to mean!? Eating on the floor on a picnic rug inside your house? That is the most stupid thing that I have ever heared of, picnics are supposed to be outdoors and I would prefer to eat at the table indoors. A romantic picnic outdoors would be good though or just a romantic dinner.
James and I had to have a picnic indoors once because I had made it all up and it was rainy. It was fun
Though, imagine if you had a fireplace. A picnic in front of the fireplace is fun.

Pouring on the chivalry is overrated and silly imo.
I don't think it is, as I have explained earlier

A bubble bath with rose petals everywhere is too much work and too much of a mess to clean up afterwards and I would personally prefer not to have a bath with plants, I could swim in a river for that. A bubble bath with candles and without the rose petals is good though, as long as the candles aren't going to create a fire hazard.
How about if your significant other wanted that? Going to lots of trouble shows you care.

An "I love you because" list seems too corny and silly and it seems to me like what a couple would do for marriage counselling. Its better just to tell the person that you love them, there is no need for stupid notes or lists or whatever crap.
Telling them why you love them can be such an emotion booster, although I wouldn't do it as a list. I'd be more creative than that.

PDA is alright, but you don't have to do that to show your love to the rest of the world. There is a limit imo, people don't like too see too much of that.
Yes, there is a limit for PDA, but what is a wedding? Showing your love to the rest of the world.

Heart shaped pancakes and cookies are corny as well, I would prefer normal pancakes and cookies, they'll be just as good.
Effort wins.

"A handwritten card sprayed with your scent" sounds very wrong to me, is that supposed to mean pissing on the card lmao. We are not skunks...
Your perfume in a card means they have a little piece of you with them.

Renewing marriage vows is stupid imo.
I'd be willing to do this. Even though marriage vows are supposed to mean forever, getting up on the alter a second time proves deep love and it is just something fun to do. With something like 2 out of 3 marriages failing these days, seeing someone renew their vows is amazing.

"Place an “I love you” flyer under the car’s windshield wiper" is also stupid.
Same as the note thing

"Use cute pet names for each other" is also stupid and that would have to be my least favourite. I think I would be more disgusted by that if anything, my name is good enough.
Definitely not. I reserve those for Missy because she is my baby. The only other name I call James is Darling and he says, "My poor Baby" when I hurt myself. hahaha

"Rub your noses together" is also stupid... We are not dogs.
It's called an Eskimo kiss and it is fun.

"Write a short fairy tale using you and your mate as the characters (Once upon a time…”)" is also stupid.
Definitely not.

"Write a sweet message on a fogged-up mirror so he/she will see it after exiting the shower" is also stupid.
Same as notes.

Creating a scrapbook together is boring.
I just do this by myself.
