What is the Most Romantic Thing a Guy can do for a Girl? For all you Bachelorhood fans, what do you believe is the most romantic thing a guy can do for a girl? Propose on top of the Eiffel Tower, confess his love while in a hot air balloon, take you on a whirlwind weekend trip to Rome or turn up like a knight in shining armor on a horse? Is it the little everyday gestures that make women happy or is the sweeping John Cusack with a boom box type of gestures?
Romance has unfortunately become a dying art, with the rise of dating apps such as Tinder and the easy accessibility of the hook up culture. Romance has instead been replaced by bread crumbing, benching and cushioning. If your unfamiliar with those terms I suggest you look them up, they seem to be the way of the future. But romance can surely be revived and all hope is not lost. Guys just need a little push in the right direction, maybe towards the jewelry store?
TV and movies offer men thousands of different examples for inspiration. There are the common examples spread throughout such as flowers sent to the workplace, a fancy dinner reservation, expensive jewelry and an exotic getaway. Or the prominent grand gestures such as Heath Ledger’s serenade on the bleachers to Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You, Richard Gere climbing up the fire escape to Julia Roberts window in Pretty Woman and Ralph Fineness carrying Kristin Scott Thomas out of the cave in The English Patient. These may provide a false set of expectations but it doesn’t hurt to have ideas for the future.
But women can have different ideas on what’s considered romantic, wives might suggest picking up the vacuum cleaner every now and then or offering to do the dishes every second night. Mothers might say that picking the kids up for school or coming home and seeing them ready for bed is a romantic gesture, showing that their husbands care. Romance is subjective and entirely dependent on the individuals themselves, so while some might enjoy a pricey piece of jewelry another might prefer a home cooked meal after a long day.
