Here's that question

Question

Dating > from anonymous9 answers

OK, help me plan a wonderful, romantic evening! My GF and I have a one-year anniversary coming up, and coincidentally I have just come into a little extra money and so I'd like to blow some cash and treat her (and me!) to a really special night. just not sure where I should allocate the funds. So should I take her out to a fancy restaurant, maybe even rent a limo? invite her over to my place but pull out all the stops (expensive champagne, get some caviar and blinis and filet mignon and a really decadent chocolate cake), or take her out for a mid-range dinner but buy her a really nice present (I'm thinking diamond earrings or maybe a tennis bracelet)? I know she doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a present for me, so I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable by getting her lavish gifts. Am leaning toward the first or second option b/c that way it would be a really memorable event for both of us, you know? Or should I take her away for a weekend? Ladies, which of these scenarios, or something else entirely? would you like to have your boyfriend do for you to celebrate a special occasion? Feel free to suggest something else if oyu have a great idea! Thanks!..

I'm going to go with the fancy-schmancy night in, because both an expensive night out and a weekend away at a B&B are both kind of ordinary. To plan a really great, romantic night in, however, takes some imagination (or some pals at baffld!) and will show that you put some thought into it. So yes, get the caviar and blinis and lemon and sour cream. Get some great champagne, and some different wines to taste with your meal, too. Steaks, some decadent side dishes (potatoes Anna, creamed spinach, fresh asparagus) -- get these from a restaurant or gourmet market if you're not a cook. But also invest in some roses to decorate the house, including some petals scattered on the bed. Fill the room with candles. Make sure you have good music -- old romantic standards, piano jazz, Brazilian, whatever you like -- on hand. And do buy her a small present, something for her to keep as a memento of what sounds like a very special evening. Enjoy!..

Oh I love being in on surprises,..I wish you would have told us a bit more to go on, how old, some likes/dislikes, but here goes ... ....

I'm kinda "themey" so maybe I'd work with the "Firsts" - bring her to the first place you met or fell in love ... stop and put her face into your hands ... and kiss her like it was the first time;..take her away for the weekend to a place where neither of you have ever been, a first for both of you; Start a tradition of buying her something that you can do every year, it doesn't have to be something expense if you still want to go with u're big gift, maybe a figurine, collectible, or a trinket. Whatever you buy her, give her a story to cherish along with it... ....
....
My Carlos is a thinker & planner too and he's melted my hearts too many times to mentioned, all I can assure you of is,..whatever you do, all your efforts will move her in ways only the two of you could imagine. Angie..
