Hey GAF. Any advice on that topic? I wanna do something special but I cannot think about something. Don't wanna invite the person for the 100th time to the restaurant. Please help. Thank You.

Yours,

Franck

Pretend you have cancer, then she will be surprised and happy when you reveal your lie a week later. She will love you even more.
 
It's like that Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets Elaine the bench for her birthday. You're supposed to remember things like that and then, boom, surprised.

Hopefully you remembered somethign like that.
 
We need to know what the surprise treshold is for your significant other before we can give any advice. I mean, do you surprise her often? What is considered a surprise? Does it start at a nice relaxing massage or is that too common? Is it a weekend getaway in a five-star health resort or is that something you already do bimonthy? I can burst in here and say "do the shocker" but that might be something you do every other weekend.

So basically we need more information.

Something romantic would be nice for once.

No matter how great the chemistry, every relationship can get dull at times. What better way to spice things up than a playful prank?

We’re not talking about saran-wrapping the toilet; the best practical jokes are the ones that leave both parties laughing. Here are some clever pranks to keep him on his toes all day long:

1. Put a small piece of masking tape on the bottom of his mouse, making sure it covers the trackball or optical sensor. Watch as he struggles to read his e-mail — and don’t forget to write “Gotcha!” on the tape.

2. This is one of our favorites and it can translate into a number of situations. Ask your guy to go to the supermarket and give him a list of made up things like dehydrated water, sweet salt or a blunt knife. If he’s into fixing things, send him to the hardware store for a glass hammer or cement humidifier. For the sports guy, tell him to grab a box of curveballs and meet you in the park after work. Beware though, this could keep him tied up for a while.

3. If you're feeling silly, stuff tissues or newspaper into his shoes so that he can’t get his feet in. Write “SURPRISE!” on each one — he’ll see the message as he pulls them out.

4. Save an empty juice or Gatorade bottle (grape or cranberry works best) and fill it with water. Add a few drops of food coloring so the water becomes the color of whatever juice was originally in the bottle. When he goes to have a glass, watch his face as he takes a sip — he will be expecting something sweet and get a bland surprise instead!

5. If your guy is shy but has a good sense of humor, take a picture of the toilet in your bathroom, then plug your digital camera into a computer or TV and load the picture onto your screen. When he comes out of the bathroom, start laughing and pointing. He will see the picture and think you saw him in there!

6. The old sticker-on-the-back routine of the "Kick Me" variety is not very clever, and it’s certainly not nice — but it is pretty funny. Try “Hug Me” instead, and wait for him to come home and tell you about his bizarre office encounters.

7. An oldie but goodie: Superglue a coin to the floor and watch as he scratches away to pick it up.

8. We heard this and thought it was pretty cute, especially if you have kids! Add some sweet shenanigans to your day with a little fruity fun. Carefully poke some gummy worms into fresh fruit, like apples. Give your guy (or even your kids) a wormy apple for lunch and watch their face light up.

9. Put a spool of thread in your pocket and leave the tail hanging out. Then tell you guy that you’ve been trying to pull this sting but it won’t come off. Of course he’ll think he can save the day, but when he tries to pull it, it will go on and on and on! Reel him in for a kiss when he figures out the joke's on him.

10. Lastly, we’ve got a no-fail prank that anyone can do and it’s sure to get a laugh. Open a bedroom door slightly (or any door that you know he will walk through) and put a pillow at the top of it — when he opens the door the pillow will hit them on the head. Make up for your wily ways and offer to kiss his boo-boo!

Just remember, a harmless prank can certainly lead to some steamy activity underneath the sheets, but a cruel prank can turn him to ice. So remember to keep it fun for everyone!

Make a song with Garageband. Just a minute long. Funny shit or serious one. She'll like it.
 
If you can cook, make a meal that's her favourite, bring a nice bottle of wine (I suggest a light chilled white unless she likes red or doesn't like wine), find somewhere outdoors that's nice and private to set up a sunset dinner picnic. Bring bug torches, stop for a fancy coffee drink to go to bring to the spot you have planned on the way there. Eat dinner, relax away from other people (bring pillows, put down a tarp, then a blanket in case the ground is cold/moist).

Does she like video games? Books? Jewellery? A massage is a good bet. Back, feet, etc.

If she's not into outdoor stuff, set up a little table in an open room at home (take out furniture temporarily to make it open if you have to) and do the same stuff basically, and go out for fancy coffee and dessert after if you can't make any at home on your own.

Does she live with you? After cleaning the whole bathroom really well, light some scented candles in it of a scent she likes. Run a hot bath and put a few drop of a relaxing essential oil scent she enjoys in it and have it ready for her when she gets home when you know she doesn't have to do anything else. Try to have dinner ready after this if you can.

This is just a pile of suggestions here. Basically, take time to do something special for her and take away any responsibilities and worries from her for a night. Don't just throw money at her in the form of going out for dinner or gifts, if you can help it. Gifts can be nice, but quality time for her and for the two you that you took the time to do yourself will mean a lot (if it doesn't she ain't appreciatin'!)

Though not everyone has the same ideas of romantic but if you think she'll like it, take her horseback riding for a day if it's available where you are, or to a vineyard for wine tasting and a tour, or on a fishing/canoe trip for the day, or a hike and pack all your food and bring some treats you know she likes. Take her to a band she likes, go see a museum or zoo of some kind, travel a distance with her to go shopping somewhere with a better selection or specialty stores she may rarely get to go to and patiently wait while she tries stuff on and hold her purse and help her find something that looks great without being a pill about the shopping trip. :p

Go to a big farmer's market and get some grocery shopping done while enjoying the food wares, buy a few specialty chocolates, go picking fruits/vegetables that are in season, go to a big bookstore and spend time browsing, then chatting over coffee. Take her "home and kitchen" shopping for a few things to brighten up a room around the house or for something in the kitchen that she's been dying to have around (ice cream maker, espresso maker, popcorn maker + movie night, waffle iron + breakfast, etc.)

I'm not sure if I have more ideas atm.

Sincerely,

A Woman
 
Tell her you're think you're gay.
Then ask her to bring her hot sister / best friend / cousin for a threesome just to be sure you're wrong.
 
Things I have tried

Hot air ballon ride.

Closed the restaurant only for us

Placed some personalize stuff in the fortune cookie and gave it to waiter before hand
 
I read some good, and some bad stuff.

But I thank you all for the contribution.

Especially Niamh's post was fantastic.


Yours,

Franck
