    Any suggestions on how to add a little romance to my relationship? How do I hint to my guy that I want a little more romance in my life. He's a great guy and always sweet. But I would like a random rose or a surprise date. What can I do for him thats romantic but can also be appreciated by a guy?

    Communication communication communication... Don't bother hinting around IMO. Some men, just really don't get it. Open and honest communication will get the best and truest results.

    Tell him what you want, what you crave in a relationship.

    Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.

    Spot on ! Telling it straight without beating around the bush is the most effective way, while keeping the soft glove, ie. without being demanding.

    Given the circumstances, in my opinion it will be far better if you take the initiative and create a surprise romantic night. Then, at the right moment when you are both savoring the moment, whisper in his ear that you both need more nights/days/etc like this and that it is his turn to set it up the next special day (try to set the date so you both can look forward to it and work on building the anticipation).

    What you don't want to happen is to catch him during your normal day-to-day routine and tell him things are not romantic enough. You can have the best communication in the world and there's better than a 99% chance he'll perceive it as negative, feel hurt and become defensive.

    My boyfriend is great at taking hints. He sometimes gets what I'm trying to say even before I say it... however with things like that it is better to say them straight out

    Although in my case it still didn't really work. He sent me flowers once and then was walking around for a month like THE hero... and then nothing =\
