12 stolen ideas
When I went into my ‘love frenzy’, trying to woo the pants (literally) off my wife, I looked hard in bookshops, libraries and on the Net for a handbook of ideas – little cunning stunts you can pull that say “I Love You” in different, unexpected ways. But there was none available at the time – until the next year when Penguin brought out a little book called Hopeless Romantic: A Romance Manual For Men by Oliver Green and Matthew Keon. For less than $10 I got hundreds of wacky ideas – some of them too wacky for me, but good for starting your own thoughts.
The authors have a simple formula: E+C=R. Effort + Creativity = Romance. You provide the effort, they provide the creativity and you enjoy the fruits of romance.
Here are some of their ideas that I stole from their book:
1. Hide gifts, tickets to shows, etc. inside the book she is currently reading.
2. Have gifts delivered to her at home or at work in big boxes via courier.
3. Send her things through the mail, the old fashioned way. So few people do it.
4. SMS a message to her while you are at dinner. Key the message in while at the toilet, but don’t press send until you’re sitting across from her again. Eg. “I’m looking at the most beautiful girl in the world right now.”
5. Leave tickets, gifts, etc. in the glove compartment of her car.
6. Leave a love message inside the petrol compartment of her car.
7. Write a love message on the footpath somewhere she will see it, in chalk.
8. Write a message in hair gel on the mirror in the bathroom – it will become visible next time she showers. Refer to the beautiful person looking in the mirror.
9. Go to her place of work. Kiss her once, then leave.
10. Ring and say something loving, then hang up.
11. If you have a ceiling fan above the bed, clean the blades and sprinkle flower petals on them so that next time she turns it on she’ll be showered with love.
12. Arrive at her place of work with her bag packed and ready for a romantic weekend she doesn’t know about. They whisk her away for a fun-filled, mystery weekend.
