Is there a way to hint this to him?

I am really wanting a romantic getaway with my husband. I have been telling him I want him to do romantic things but telling him I think is bugging him. Is there a way of hinting it more to him rather than saying it right out? Is there something I can do to make him want more romance? Any thoughts welcome =)

In my opinion to get him to do romantic things without telling him is to do romatic things for him above your normal romatic things. For example: If you normally cook breakfast for him, Bring him breakfast in bed. If you do that normally or on occasion then spruce it up a bit by giving him a rose with his breakfast in bed and of course through in that romantic look and soft tone of voice. I know us men are not really into getting flowers, But it is the gesture and he will remember and think of it. I suppose my real point is do romantic things for him often and I believe he will notice this and in return he will want to do more romantic things. This is the only thing I can think of with out telling him outright.

Thanks for your response =) I am definitely going to try to do romantic things for him and hopefully he will do the same in return. He never eats breakfast because it hurts his stomach for the rest of the day so since your a man, is there anything else you would like a woman to do for you that is romantic?

It doesn't have to be breakfast. It could be a candle lit dinner, But mostly it is the sparkle in your eye and the tone in your voice. Believe me once he starts getting the romantic vibes you are throughing off he will like it. He will also start being romantic in return to keep you in that frame of mind.

Hi lilangelspreschool, Sometimes men just need a little help remembering what being romantic feel like. If you are missing this kind of attention, without being a nag, you have to give him some little hints. Maybe bring in a few travel magazines into the house or do a travel magazine subscription in his name. Relationship, if they are to survive, usually, need to have romance in them. Otherwise, the fire goes out and then the great relationship is over. If you can't get away for a little while, find some fun romantic things to do together. After all, it doesn't alway matter where the romance happens, just as long as it happens. Going out to dinner and spending a night at a very classy hotel, with room service and cable television would be a nice short get away. That would be a nice start to a romantic getaways. Good Luck

second try lilangels myhubby would sneak up behind me, hug me and kiss the nape of my neck. trythis in reverse on yours, it should send a sexy message then leave little notes telling him how about a sexy night at a favorite hotel, dinner in bed with candles soft music and you will bring the dessert.guys often need a little help in the romantic area.

Thanks for your response =) Yes, all men seem to have this issue. I don't see why it's so hard for them, we always tell them what we want. What's the problem??? That sounds good, I am definitely going to try it.

The best hint i believe you can give him is to create the environment yourself. There is nothing wrong with you initiating the romantic atmosphere. The answer to what you should do is already buried in your psyche since you know best of all what turns your husband on. Evidently words don't, what else can you think of that will turn him on?

Thanks for your response =) Of course me being in lingerie and me being sweet turns him on. I could light some candles and make it a good night =) Thank you for your thoughts on this!

I think you should take the initiative to create the romantic feeling. Try to remind him about what the two of you have done that makes you feel the most romantic, like the honeymoon you had when you just got married to each other and he would probably suggest to have a second honeymoon with you! Don't worry! He is probably so busy in his work that he has no time to create romance for you. I think he also needs some romantic feeling from you to have ease his tiredness after his busy work. So, try to take my idea and some others from other responsers and he will probably get it. Good luck!

Lead by example, so the old saying goes. If you want your husband to do more for you, start by doing more for him. I just read a list on MSN relationship a few days back that was stating what “guys want” from relationships, and one of the things they want is for their women to start doing things first. The article related how men were tired of always picking up the tab, always buying the flowers and what not. One man interviewed stated the most romantic thing a girl did for him was to send him flowers at work. He was very appreciative of the thought. So, try arranging more romantic things around your husband. I don’t know his type, but examples would be to cook his favorite meal, rent his favorite movie, etc. My gentleman is a book fanatic so I tend to give books now and then just as “what for” gifts. I also leave him notes in his lunch box. You could also send him steamy text messages or even a little picture just for him. There are many ways to let your guy know you are in the mood, but giving more to your partners needs (this goes both ways) tends to benefit both involved. Namaste-Anora

Whats wrong with telling him, he should feel comfortable enough with you to discuss options with you.
