The Romantic.com

My husband and I have been together a total of 7 years.  He is a computer programmer and therefore not always romantic in the “fairytale” sense.  However, he does do things that are very romantic.One of our “at home dates” began with him programming my laptop computer to run a short animated program of a guy asking a girl out on a date as soon as my laptop booted up at work.  It was such a cute surprise and made the rest of my day.  The animation gave me the specifics of what time I should be home by and the secret knock so that he knew it was me coming in.

When I got home at the designated time and after following the directions he gave me, I found our tiny apartment filled with candlelight, flowers, and dinner.  He rented a movie that I had wanted to see and we had a romantic candlelit dinner together and then dessert and a movie.  We were not very well off early on and so this was a wonderful evening that he planned on a shoestring budget.

I still have the little animation file that he sent to ask me out saved on my computer!
