Not Engaged Yet

things that make you swoon:

It's Friday, I'm bored and I'm feeling mushy!

They don't have to be explicitly "romantic" things.

For me, I feel like swooning every time my BF calls me darling

And anytime someone (anyone) touches my hair! It's like a scalp massage! :)

    I'm a diehard romantic for sure, so lots of things make me swoon.  I don't much care for getting flowers myself (bad allergies) or a big box of chocolates...it's the little things with me (FI always says he loves that it doesn't take much to make me happy).  FI will surprise me with a single-size bag of m&m's (my favorite) or he'll clear the dishes after dinner and put them in the sink (even rinses them, too) or he'll call me sometimes just to tell me he loves me - doesn't have anything else to say.  Just all those everyday little things, they can all make me swoon.

    My Bf is not a romantic guy to say the least but sometimes I think he just lets the macho thing slide.

    He travels a lot so one of my favourite things is an unexpected note... whether it be a text message or call, just to say he's thinking about me and or loves me...

    Also... forehead kisses make me fall in love all over again..

    Me too! I'm a big fan of forehead kisses :D

    And like Angie I'm a hopeless romantic and lots of things make me swoon. Like if BF cooks dinner, or brings me flowers (I love flowers) or sends me a text during the day. Just lots of little things like that :)

    Aw. This post makes me feel mushy and all in love.... yay for happy smiles on this gorgeous Friday.

    I didn't realize I was such a romantic til I started dating FI. I swoon when he thinks I'm asleep in the morning (when he leaves for work @ 6:30) and comes in gives me a kiss on the forehead and whispers in my ear that he loves me. I *always* pretend to be asleep. ;-)

    I'm a huge fan of him leaving to go do something and when he comes back he has a "surprise" for me - he's so happy that I can't help but smile. Last night it was chocolate chip cookie dough or instant jello. Lol.

    This is so ridiculous and I just thought of it but anytime we're anywhere doing anything and I lay my head on him he always says; "Whatcha doin' pretty girl?" in this very calm sweet voice. I'm making myself sick so I will stop now ---  too much sweetness. lol

    Aww, I love this thread! I'm a hopeless romantic....BF is...not so much!

    I, too, love forehead kisses (and dreamer, I am totally with you on the kisses when he thinks you're asleep - my BF does almost the exact same thing when he leaves for work and I love it. Feels soo safe & warm! & I also always pretend I'm sleeping!!)

    I love surprises of any kind, so when BF unexpectedly has a weekend adventure planned for us, or even just nice dinner reservations or a candy-bar treat for when I get off work..that's lovely...

    I love his texts throughout the day. Especially the classic I say "Guess what??" and he always responds with "I love you too."

    I love when we're holding hands and he'll gently take hold of just my ring finger for a few seconds, or touch just my ring finger, and looks me in the eyes... to see if I notice what he's up to. (I ALWAYS notice.) lol

    As other have said sweet little kisses on the forehead.  Also the cheek, shoulder, hand... wherever... love them!

    When my alarm goes of and I hit snooze (automatically) and he occasionally rolls over to cuddle with me for 5 minutes before I get up... he doesn't have to get up for about a half hour or so unless he's going for a morning run.

    Impromptu foot rubs while watching tv, or a great full body massage when I'm stressed out.

    When he goes out of his way to do something for my son... like get an awesome blow up pool with a slide and waterfall a couple weeks ago.  :)

    When he tells me that I'm a good mom or talk about our future children and how he can't wait for that to come.

    When he gets excited about wedding stuff, it's adorable!

    I like it when he kisses my hair, plays with my hair, and puts his arm around my waist when we walk.

    I also think it's funny that he kisses my left boob every morning before he leaves for work.  He thinks I'm still sleeping...ha.

    BF always rubs my back when he crawls into bed. He's a computer nerd and so naturally a night-owl, so he's almost always getting into bed a few hours after I do. Like the kisses a few others have mentioned, he always thinks I'm asleep and that I don't notice, but I do. :)

    awww, this thread is the best i've seen yet!

    Kisses on the cheek and forehead are always lovely! I love it when he calls me darling. If we are in separate cars driving somewhere he always waits for me to go first so he can be sure i arrive safely (that makes me feel loved) or when he comes up behind me while i'm doing the dishes and just puts his arms around me. He is always opening doors for me, making sure to unlock my side of the car and helps me in, closes the door, etc. before going to the drivers seat. He won't let me get out of the car unless he has opened the door for me. Flowers are my favorite present. I could recieve a bouquet of flowers every day for the rest of my life and my excitment over getting them would never lessen. When he hugs me he usually starts slow dancing with me. It's very sweet :D When i'm upset about something and feel the need to get out or run away, he always chases after me, puts his arms around me, and just lets me cry. It makes me feel better instantly.
