Dear ladies of EB,
I have been thinking about how to keep things in a relationship from becoming routine. It is too easy to get caught up in day-to-day activities that keep you away from being, shall we say, a bit more spontaneous.
I am really not big into giving flowers and gifts seem to be more catered towards celebrating special milestones.
What I would like to do is simply be more spontaneous and just go somewhere. However, I get stuck in the planning part of this - any thoughts about how to keep the "surprise" factor in tact while working out schedules?

I'm not a lady of EB but. . .
You don't have to go whole-hog with a big trip. In fact I've been told this kind of surprise may not be welcome. In my experience something small and simple can go a long way. Like flowers. Or mail her a card. Really, it sounds cheesy but but they eat this stuff up. If you really want to go for a surprise, cook her dinner or plan a quick day trip to a nearby place for a few hours--something with a romantic opportunity like watching a sunset or walking on the beach.
