The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and
interminable. Initial y they passed from building to building under the sodden
sky. Steve's feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the tireless
traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk any proper
distance. Abruptly the guards halted.
The underlined letters wil make your partner curious and with a bit of luck
she wil write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message such as "Dear
Belinda, I love you honey"

IDEA # 11
Memorize one of Shakespeare's love sonnets and recite it to your partner when
you are in a romantic setting like a botanical garden. Don't just suddenly
start reciting poetry as this wil just sound corny.
While you are cuddling your partner, ask in a joking manner, "So is now a good
time to recite a love poem to you?" She wil probably say yes, expecting you to
come up with something of the "Roses are Red..." variety.
Instead, look into her eyes, smile and recite the sonnet while you gently
stroke her face. Try the sonnet below. If this is too long, just memorize the
first four lines and the last two.
Shakespeare Love Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath al too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall
not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shal Death brag thou wander'st in his shade When in eternal lines to time
thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

IDEA # 25
On a special occasion like your partner's birthday, plan a treasure hunt for
her. The fun begins when you suggest going for a walk on the beach.
When you get to the beach, carry a small bag with you. The bag contains a
bottle that you prepared earlier. Inside the bottle is a treasure map. To make
the treasure map look authentic, burn the edges with a match.
As you are walking, slip the bottle out of your bag and let it drop to the
sand near the water's edge. You may have to pause and kiss your partner to do
this unnoticed. Walk a little further up the beach then turn around and
retrace your steps to 'discover' the bottle.
On the map have a dotted line leading from the beach to a nearby cafe. At the
cafe, your partner won't know what to look for so suggest that you just sit
down and have a cup of coffee.
When the waitress delivers the coffee, she suggests to your partner that she
might find what she is looking for under the coaster. When your partner turns
over the coaster she finds a key taped to the bottom. Obviously you wil have
to set this up before hand with the waitress. Most waitresses wil be happy to
help a romantic guy out with this type of thing.
At the next stop on the map, your partner finds or is given a spade. Then at
the last stop on the map your partner finds a large 'X' made up of two crossed
sticks. She digs and discovers a locked box. The key unlocks the box to reveal
her present.

rendezvous with a stunningly attractive man wearing a red carnation. The

Memorize one of Shakespeare's love sonnets and recite it to your partner when
you are in a romantic setting like a botanical garden. Don't just suddenly
start reciting poetry as this wil just sound corny.
While you are cuddling your partner, ask in a joking manner, "So is now a good
time to recite a love poem to you?" She wil probably say yes, expecting you to
come up with something of the "Roses are Red..." variety.
Instead, look into her eyes, smile and recite the sonnet while you gently
stroke her face. Try the sonnet below. If this is too long, just memorize the
first four lines and the last two.
Shakespeare Love Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath al too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall
not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shal Death brag thou wander'st in his shade When in eternal lines to time
thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

On a special occasion like your partner's birthday, plan a treasure hunt for
her. The fun begins when you suggest going for a walk on the beach.
When you get to the beach, carry a small bag with you. The bag contains a
bottle that you prepared earlier. Inside the bottle is a treasure map. To make
the treasure map look authentic, burn the edges with a match.
As you are walking, slip the bottle out of your bag and let it drop to the
sand near the water's edge. You may have to pause and kiss your partner to do
this unnoticed. Walk a little further up the beach then turn around and
retrace your steps to 'discover' the bottle.
On the map have a dotted line leading from the beach to a nearby cafe. At the
cafe, your partner won't know what to look for so suggest that you just sit
down and have a cup of coffee.
When the waitress delivers the coffee, she suggests to your partner that she
might find what she is looking for under the coaster. When your partner turns
over the coaster she finds a key taped to the bottom. Obviously you wil have
to set this up before hand with the waitress. Most waitresses wil be happy to
help a romantic guy out with this type of thing.
At the next stop on the map, your partner finds or is given a spade. Then at
the last stop on the map your partner finds a large 'X' made up of two crossed
sticks. She digs and discovers a locked box. The key unlocks the box to reveal
her present.
