I don't know about "naturally" romantic. It almost always comes with some forethought. But, when it comes without a "means to an end" expectation......(such as...he might think, "If I take out the trash I'll prolly get laid tonight").....then it's definitely considered romance!

My hubby probably thinks he is the least romantic person on the planet......but he is so wrong about that! He knows my passion for old bottles and is always bringing me dirty, obscure treasures...dug up from jobs sites! He also brings "raw" crystals, arrowheads, and on very, very, very rare occasions...dinosaur bones (which he rarely touches when discovered because the site has to be shut down and archeologists are called)! Doesn't sound awfully romantic to some....but I swoon!

I'm a more practiced romantic........a special dinner with candles and atmosphere! A special "visual" Valentine's gift...(which you've all shared a part of in a thread I did). A call from a warm shower.....to come and join me! A note in his lunch.....reminding him that I love him and that I can't wait to see him at the end of the workday! But, I also do more simple things on a daily basis.....like saving the flyer that came in the mail and I would consider "junk" but he'd find it a treasure....of tools on sale "this week only"! Cleaning the caked on mud from his workboots as he showers the oil and dirt off......from a long, hard day on the worksite.......so he doesn't have to deal with that mud again in the same day! Giving him back the $20 I found while doing the laundry......lol! The "little things" speak volumes to my heart....and I hope to his!
