Hey guys, I'm a brand new member to the site as of a few minutes ago... So go easy on me

 

Next, I just want to give a little background of my situation: I'm in my early 20's and this July will have been with my girlfriend, who is a couple years younger, for 4 years. We first started dating a little bit before I was heading off to start college hundreds of miles away. We didn't want to end things, so we just kept good communication, and I visited home in NY every so often to be able to see her. I ended up transferring to a school closer to home the next year, not only to be closer to her, but also because of the expenses of the school I was at. Obviously we continued dating, and then about a year ago because of a couple different issues for her, my girlfriend moved to Texas to live with her mom and other family. We've had little "breaks" that of course weren't really breaks at all, and I really think the distance that we've had on and off throughout the last 3 and a half years have brought us closer together, but enough about the background, and if you've made it this far then I must have caught your interest somehow...

 

Basically, I'm visiting her this July for about 10 days to be with her for our 4th 'anniversary' of being together, and really want to do something special with her, get away from her moms house and get some 'us' time for a couple days/nights... Any ideas? Oh btw, we'll be in the Dallas area...

Make plans to do something you both enjoy. You know each other well enough don't you?

 

You can always do the romantic getaway with rose petals on the bed! That is fun and romantic for any woman.

 

Add your own special touches. Maybe her favorite flowers in the room and a bunch of little things that represent moments you have had together.

 

Onve I made a care package for my husband that had things like a checked napkin representing our first picnic and small box of fudge from a place we went to. Just little gifts like that and he knew exactly what they were and what they meant.

 

Be creative. Only you know what milestones you've had in your relationship.

 

Hopefully that helps some.

what about booking a nice hotel and plan a day in bed. You could give her massage vouchers etc. were she can pick the time you can give them to her.

Or a day at the Zoo or at a Theme Park - can be great fun. Or do something new together like horseback riding if you haven't done it before, so that gives you something to talk about after your visit. Also ask her what she would like to do, so you can plan it.

Okay, you say you're in your early 20's and that she's a few years younger than you. Is she at the age to where her parents wont freak out if she goes away for a weekend with her boyfriend? That could make things a little difficult. If not, then great!

 

Take her somewhere amazing. Like to a museum or something that she really enjoys. I'm a wildlife biology major and I just LOVE animals and nature and stuff so when I go to Montreal for a week next month my fiance is going to take me to the biodome up there. They have penguins and everything! I'm so excited because it's something that I love. And of course, if he sees that I'm happy with it it's going to make him feel awesome about his self and happy with his choice. So I'd say to go with something that interests her if you're going to make it special. Sure a weekend in bed sounds great, but she can't really take pictures of that to take back and show her friends, can she? But if you did a 50% bed, 50% adventure for her that'd give you both the best of both worlds. I know that nothing makes my guy happier than to see new pictures posted on myspace or facebook of our visits together.

 

Good luck I'm sure you'll have an awesome time together.
