well, keep in mind, women do like romance, and that corny mushy stuff on tv. you know, on the beach, sunset, out on a pier (when it's not 40 degrees); out in the middle of a flowery meadow with a picnic. you know, all that stuff that doesn't seem "original"
they like original, but they like fairy tale, too :)
what not to do? my wife would have shot me had i asked her in front of anyone else~ ie., no baseball game on the big screen, not in front of the family, not at restaurant. but some do like the attention of many other jealous girls :)
