Today when i was on lunch my cell phone rang and it was my boss. "UH...Hey chris...uh...someone dropped something off for you...and...uh...ya. you should probably come and pick it up." CLICK. so i'm like what is it and why was it dropped off to work and not to my house.
So i go home after class and head up to work to get this mystery package. It's a teddy bear and flowers and a card. So now i know what it is and i know who it's from because of the type of flowers that it is. They're from James. He's been gone for 4 days so far and he still manages to send me flowers from 16 hours north of here?!? and not just any flowers but my favourite flowers, and not just any colour but my favourite colour, and the card he sent matches the theme of our biggest inside joke ever. And sent them to me the day he found out that my grandfather passed away in apology that he can't be with me, and not only that but he also sent a card of condolence to my family! like really! Too good to be true? That's just the beginning.
We met through my work. He's a customer of mine. He's always been one of my favourites. So a few weeks ago we met up unexpectedly at the Wellesley Apple Butter and Cheese Festival. We spent the day together and had a great time. That evening he came into my work with an envelope adressed Mr and Mrs Dammeier. It was sealed and all he would say is that i had to give it to my parents. So i took it home and when they opened it they were surprised to find tickets to the Kim Mitchell concert that was held last saturday. The next night the doorbell rings and it's James. So i sit with him on the porch of my house and we talk when he takes me by the hand and asks me to close my eyes. So i do and he puts a bracelet on my wrist! Like really! Wow! talk about your prince charming!
So anyways. where i wanted to go with this is how exactly you can do something romantic for a guy. i mean guys have it easy. anyone can tell a guy how to be sweet, but what about girls? if girls sent a guy flowers he'd be like... uh... thanks i guess.
So this is me asking you advice. How do i make him feel special just as much as he does to me?
Ooh, and the moose at the top is because James is moose hunting for 2 weeks and it made me think of him.

I'm thinking about the whole "flower" incident. Lately I've actually been asking some of my guy friends what they would do if they got flowers. A lot of them have said that they never have but would really appreciate it. I think that although guys appear to be tough and strong (both physically and emotionally), they really are big ol' softies (and sometimes they even have hearts of gold ;) ... just like James - lucky). They appreciate the same amount of attention and care, that us girls enjoy (at least from my understanding ... however I could be completely off my rocker). I think that girls should go out of their way to make a guy's day special ... even if it means sending flowers because, personally, I don't think we show them how much they mean to us.
While reading your blog i was sitting here in amazment! Recently I have lost the ability to beleive that boys can still be romantic, and gentelmanly. But your blog gives me hope lol. I dunno, i think a lot of girls get too caught up in wondering when their guy is going to pull through and do something romantic for them, when really, the guy could be wondering the EXACT same thing. sometimes something as simple as sending a text to say have a good DAY is cute enough. I think something romantic would be to take the guy out on a suprise date.. and do something original like, go to dinner at some place you've never been, and then just go sit under the stars and talk. God i love stars. ANYWAYS! its late, and tahts all i have to say.
In my opinion, girls really don't need to show their appreciation with gifts. Just the fact that he made you smile should be good enough for him!
