365 Days of Gay Love and Lesbian Romance
from Trevor and Alex -- Cuddling on the sofa while watching a touching romantic movie, identifying closely with the emotions expressed in the movie, turning to each other and smiling because we identify so dearly with such emotions. We enjoy watching movies or symbols reaffirming our love for each other.
from Jeffrey -- Darkness, Candles & undivided attention.
from Dion and Benjamin -- A nice meal, discussion, and activity
from Donna -- For our first anniversary I gave my girlfriend a Vase with a label that simply said, "I Love...". Inside were 365 little tags filled with sweet things like "waking up with you every morning" or "the way your eyes sparkle when you smile" to some that were a bit dirty and fun. She has enjoyed them and even takes one or two with her if she has to travel on business. I get some nice "Awwws" and kisses or giggles/a gasped covered mouth depending on what the message says but always she smiles and she sees yet another thing I love about her. We've even made it part of our morning routine for getting ready and it is something we try and always do together. She usually lets me pick from the vase. It took a little time and thought but it wasn't expensive and it has paid back the time/thought investment 100 times over.
from Billy and Bob -- It's romantic all the time. Billy likes to cook. Bob likes to take walks together. They both like lying around watching a movie.
from Genia and Andrea -- We don't do a lot of romance at home. We like to rent a hotel room (even if it's 5 minutes from the house) that has a hot tub!
from Jeff O -- A home-cooked meal with the fancy dishes and silverware over a candle-light dinner; then cuddle time while watching movies.
from Deneil and Sandi -- Making dinner together with some iPod mix going on in the background. Sandi is a great sous chef. Then once we eat our scrumptious yet simple dinner, we get cozy on the couch and watch a movie.
from Anna and Cory -- We were able to get Disneyland passes last year for Christmas. Just Cory and I . The boys do not know. Shh! So once or twice a month we pack a lunch and take the hour drive and go to Disneyland together, just the 2 of us! We love it! Its a great day full of laughter and great times!
from Dan -- Ordering out and watching TV uninterrupted
from Matthew -- Shushi, Champagne, and Cupcakes- laying on the sofa looking out the windows at the New York skyline. Maybe a little TV. Or, taking a walk holding hands.
