Mr. 33 (who I have been dating 5 years) brought me a dozen roses for my birthday. He had NEVER brought me flowers before - he came to the door and had them behind his back and then gave them to me. I about burst into tears right on the porch.
And no they weren't the generic dozen red roses - they were 4 different colors, 3 of each color, and the fact that he knew I would love that (and I had never told him!) made it extra super duper special.
So that was definitely a case when flowers were romantic.
Another romantic thing is, he's a graphic design guy and I have NEVER EVER gotten a store-bought card from him - they're always custom made.
Flowers are NOT romantic however, when you do as the first Mr. 33 used to do, and send me the generic dozen roses and then he'd say "Honey, I'm broke. Can you lend me $10?"
