The Hopeless Romantic Side of Me

Jul 28, 2010

Ever since I was younger, I’ve had this fascination with picnics. Maybe it’s because of all the movies I watched growing up, where the man always swipes the woman off her feet with a picnic basket in tow on a beautiful sunny day.

I think though, if I’m honest, I’ve always been more inclined to moonlit picnics. There is just something so peaceful about doing something so romantic at night that calls to me. Course if Robby had his way, I don’t think his choice would be a picnic backpack, rather a picnic basket—which to me isn’t as romantic and takes away from the entire experience.

Either way, despite what route anyone decided to take when it comes to picnics, whether it’s picnic baskets or picnic backpacks—the entire gesture in itself, to me, is just so breathtaking. But then again, this applies to my more romantic, hopeless side, otherwise for the most part, I’m much happier doing something spontaneous and adventurous. If you want “brownie points” from me, spontaneity is the way to do it.

So ladies, when it comes to your significant others and earning brownie points, what do you think is the absolute most romantic thing they could do for you? Why in particular?
