> However, to be perfectly blunt, a relationship that doesn't have multiple little things going on every day is having problems. There are countless "little things." A hug, a caress, a wink -- write a note or an email for no reason, draw funny faces on the eggs, sit extra close to each other on the sofa. Whatever. ANY little things. Essentially they are tailored to what you know your partner appreciates. Ideally, but not necessarily, they shouldn't even all be conscious efforts but the natural consequence of one's feelings.

I agree completely with this and try to do these types of things as much as possible. A very obvious gesture of love/romance is buying someone flowers. However, one of my pet peeves comes out of the whole flower buying experience. If Shannon and I have an argument, I will never bring flowers as a form of apology because I don't want the flowers to be associated with bad feelings. It bugs me to no end, though, when I buy flowers and the cashier has to make a comment such as, "In the dog house, huh?" This comes from guys and girls. I hope I'm not that stereotype of a guy who only goes out of his way when he is trying to save his skin or impress a girl he just met.
