I've been with my girlfriend for about 3 months now and we both really like each other. She has done some rather nice things for me like write me long ass poems (very good and deep may I add) and spent half-a-day+ cooking dinner for me.

I want to do something to show to her how much I care and am totally willing to spend the time to do so. Not something where I just go out and buy her something.

I am not to creative, any suggestions or stories of things some of you have already done. Itr can be anything really from making something to taking her out on a special night.

Thanks all.

Sex always works pretty good for me. Nothing says "I love you" better than whippin it out and humpin her brains out.

But you probably aren't talking about that are you?



Weeeell, flowers are ALWAYS a bonus, even if it's cliche'd. Picnics by the lake/creek/ocean/large body of water work pretty well too, especially if in a out-of-the-way, private place. Usually leads to making out/fondling/sex/whatever. At the very least, u will get a nice 'thank you', as long as you don't plant ur blanket on a fire-ant hill.

Good luck!

I have jut got back from takin my gf on a spontanious holiday down to cornwall (It's like the most gorgeous place in the UK) I just showed up a week last friday with a car full of gear and told her to start packing enough clothes for a week. While we were there we did all the things she loves, like going to see the most beautiful scenary, spent an entire day a a zoo, went to see a play at an open air theatre, and we spent an entire night on a north facing beach from sunset (on one side) to sun rise (on the other) Cost me an absolute fortune (like about £800, and for a student that is one hell of a lot of money!) but it was definately worth it just to see the amazing look on her face all the time!

If you spend a week just listening to all the things she says, you might get a few ideas from that, thats what i did.

Very important thing tho, Never take her somewhere, or do anything, That an Ex has done, no matter how much she loved it, that was their experiance, and it's not fair on her to make her compare the two

step 1. learn to play guitar.

step 2. write a song

step 3. play song for the girl

step 4. tell her you love her

well, you can make ear-rings very easily, if you have dexterous hands. and (not to sound cheap) the materials for ear-rings are SUPER inexpensive. "bell hooks", the kind for hangy ear-rings are about 30 cents each, and jewelry wire is even cheaper. usually you'd put something either really nice, or really meaningful hanging on the ear-rings.

another thing I do for my gf sometimes is I make these really elaborate paper flowers. they are very accurate to the real verson, and usually take around 2 or 3 hours each. I just use plain white paper and I sew it together, rather than tape or glue. it makes it seem very professional, and is extremely durable and more appealing to the eye. I've made a Rose and a few Lilys, and I'm currently working on a Ghost Orchid (I think, one of the most beutiful flowers in existence):

(I hope I did that right).

good luck.

Picnics are always great, you could prepare a hamper/bottle of champagne & strawberries/her fave food or whatever..

Flowers are cool (she'll like them even if she doesn't seem 'the type'). Letters are good. I guess like the other person said, just listen out to what kinda things she likes. Surprise her with something. You know her best, so you probably already know the stuff she loves, just have a think and you'll be cool.

take her out (which i bet you do) and make her something, be creative something she likes. be intimate with her.

I did this for my girlfriends birthday.

Bought some really good looking invitations and printed them so that they looked professional.

I invited her ( by post ), and three of her friends, over to my place for dinner. The invitations were for her, and her friends, to be driven to my place ( I picked them up in my car ) and given dinner.

I dressed black tie and drove them back to my place, which I had set up like a small restaurant. Table, candles, menus, etc etc ...

I, still dressed in black tie, served them what they wished, poured the wine, and let them talk and relax over a dinner which I did not sit at.

I then drove them back to her place and came home to eat and clean up.

My girlfriend went nuts over it. She was begging me to eat with them - but I said no, that I was kitchen staff for the night - and let them have fun.

Wasn't expensive, took some time - but most of that was spend gloating on how much she would love it - and she tells me that it is the best birthday she has ever had.

So, yeah - my advice is to make whatever you do original and something that she will never forget.

Ask her to marry you.

Seriously, buy her a gold-dipped rose. I got 72 hours of sex for that one.

What did she make you for dinner?

Everybody here's already covered what you should do.

i just got another really good idea that i think i might do. write her an old fashioned love letter. mail it to her.

take a peice of printer paper, dip it in a pan of tea and dry it (to give it that old paper look) singe the edges with a candle. then either run it through your printer with an old fashioned looking caligraphy type font or if you have nice hand writing, do it yourself. then mail it to her in an old looking envelope. she'll probably love it.
