There have been some great stories so far! I hope mine brings smiles like the others made me smile.

I had a hard time narrowing it down to just one thing. My bf’s done so many great little romantic things, but if I have to choose one, it’d be one where it probably wasn’t intended to be romantic.

Last year, for my birthday, he sent me this stuffed bear and a mini rose plant [which, due to my utter incompetence, died within 3 days]. While he was deciding what to give and good-naturedly griping about the price of flowers, he wondered aloud what the appeal of getting flowers was all about. I immediately thought about sending him some and asked if he had ever gotten flowers. When he said no, I knew I had a great surprise cooked up and decided to send him some the following month - a “because it’s Tuesday” kind of thing.

Naturally, he reasoned why I asked as some sort of reverse psychology…pssh, psych majors. Always over thinking things. But that threw him off so I ran with it. When they arrived, he left me the most adorable and spastic voicemail [naturally I saved it] that it still makes me smile when I listen to it. You could tell he was smiling.

We’re a long distance couple so we try to make a visit every few months. We stayed at his parents’ house during the first half of my visit when I was there in March. We were hanging out in his room watching tv when I noticed the vase next to it. Inside were a bunch of dried rose petals. I asked him what that was all about and he said they were the flowers I had sent him. One day he came home and noticed that a couple of the petals had fallen off so he set them aside. He saved every single petal from the roses I sent him and has them proudly displayed. Even though it didn’t seem like much, that little thing stuck with me. I couldn’t stop smiling or kissing him afterward.

I never knew guys would love flowers as much as girls do. He still continues to do amazingly romantic things and while he thinks they’re simple, they always feel ten times bigger.
