7 Romantic Gestures from Movies That We'd Love to Experience ...

Holly

Wouldn’t you love for your man to perform romantic gestures, like your favorite leading actors do? In the movies, men are always doing crazy things for the women they love. They’ll go to any distance in order to make their girlfriend happy. It would be nice for guys to perform the same romantic gestures in real life. If only...

1. Leave a Trail of Rose Petals

You come home to find a trail of rose petals leading up your staircase. When you get to your room, the bed is also covered, and the room is shimmering with candlelight. In the movies, we always see romantic gestures like this. Extra points if there’s a bottle of champagne (or soda, if you’re underage) on your nightstand.

2. Leave Little Notes

When you look in the mirror, there’s a note that says you’re beautiful. When you head downstairs for breakfast, there’s another note taped to the fridge. How adorable would it be to see little messages from him around the house? Even though he’s not physically there, he left his heart with you. It’s a sweet, easy thing to do that would make you brag about him for months.

Frequently asked questions

3. Send You on a Scavenger Hunt

Why shouldn’t he turn romance into a game? Imagine him giving you clues that lead you to places that are special to the two of you. Maybe he’ll send you to the store where you met. Then he’ll send you to the location of your first kiss. It’s an adventure that you’d never forget.

4. Give Random Flowers

It’s not Valentines Day, your birthday, or anniversary. It’s just a normal day, like any other, but he surprises you with flowers. It’s a sweet, simple gesture that shows how much he cares about you. If he’s doing it to apologize after a fight, it doesn’t count. The gift has to be completely out of nowhere, for no reason in particular.

5. Create a Song

If he can play an instrument, imagine him playing something he wrote for you. He even created lyrics that speak about how much he loves you. Watching him use his talent in order to impress you is great. Knowing that the words and melody were made especially for you? Even better.

6. Clean and Cook

The simple things can be the best ones. If you live together, it’ll nice to come home to a clean house. After a long day, you don’t have to think about what to make for dinner, because your man has it covered. He's going to serve you food, and then help you get comfortable in whatever way you need. He’s ready to pamper you, so all you have to do is relax.

7. Make a Mix Tape

Okay, he’s not going to make you an actual old-fashioned mix tape. But he could burn you a CD or create a playlist for your iPod. All that matters is that he’s showing he knows what music you like, or what music makes you think of him. If he picks the right tunes, you can listen to it while you thank him with kisses.

If you’re lucky, one day you’ll find someone who will be willing to do anything for you. Is your man a romantic? What’s the sweetest thing he’s ever done for you?

I love the scavenge hunt!!! How can I hint for my bf to do this? Or should I first? I love that he brings me lil candies and chocolates alreayd( he is in school full time with lil money) also he hasn't written a song for me. But don't stop believing is our song and 2.5 years later he still reminds me :) he played the night we met and he told me it was he's fav song. An I hit him when it came on cause he wasn't paying attention! Ps.. We were just broken up a year... Don't be like me and take your man for granted!!! Idk how many times I have in the past! Believe :)

I like the clean and cook part, but i wish that my guy had a better job so that he works normal hours instead of coming home at 9pm all the time I hope when we start living together it changes!

My husband has done all those things for me. I guess I've got a good one. I'm a lucky girl.

I got the trail of rose petals and candles on the night of our anniversary. Plus hearts made out of rose petals on the bed

I have always wanted a guy to make me a mix tape!! Born in the wrong decade for that :(

I also think the lil love notes are a great idea. I know it says we'd like to experience.. I think guys would enjoy it just as much! My brothers ex. Gave him a deck of cards with lil notes on each card. I never liked her lol but he loved this gift..(she ended it a 100 times in 8 years)
