    Option b) is about finding the right person to love you, Bobbi. I'm sure you will do one day. You are young, attractive, and intelligent, so I would imagine that many men are interested in you. Keep looking, and don't give up :!:

    I know what you mean about the commercialisation of Valentine's Day, Jan. But it is important to keep up the romance in a relationship, isn't it? It doesn't have to be anything expensive, but it is always lovely to give or receive a token of your love I think.

    I'm SUCH a romantic at heart :!: Always will be :!:

    Hi Page

    That IS romantic because it shows he cares. Either that or he didn't want the smell to hang around for too long :!: :shock:

    Sorry :!: :lol:

    Hi Trish

    I'm not sure about the first one:

    a) To be unaware that someone is in love with you who you would love to be in love with you.

    If you were in love with someone, but were unaware that they felt the same way about you, it wouldn't be very exciting, would it? It would only become exciting once both people became aware that they were in love. Complicated, isn't it :?:

    Hi Val

    I think the element of surprise is very important, and very romantic too ( as long as it is a nice surprise, unlike Elizabeth's :!: )

    I adore yellow roses. They seem to have a special message on their own. It's a kind of welcoming colour , a message of hope maybe. It's such a fresh colour too.

    My OH often buys me a bunch on shopping trips. They are so reasonably priced too.

    Thank you for your kind words and good advice.

    I was hoping to see your love story on my Partners thread. I am sure you will have a romantic tale to tell.

    So I am in love. I chose these for my bouguet when I got married the first time. Perhaps it's a reminder of those times. I was so in love with my first husband. He hurt me very much, but he is the father of my children so I'm bound to have a few feelings still. Luckily, my OH understands this, it's only natural. I think my son and daughter are amazed at how I can tolerate his new wife, she stole him away from me when all said and done.
    Mind you, whenever we meet, not often, I realise what a pompous **** he has become, so full of himself.

    I would normally have been celebrating my golden wedding anniversary in 2019, but will only be celebrating my 25th, god willing.

    Joan,
    Thankyou so much! How lovely.
    And thankyou Queenfan for telling us yellow roses are for love cos that makes everything extra special and a good answer for OH when he gets told off by all the women for being unromantic.
    Joy, I get on well with ex-husbands new wife too but she has always been decent to me on the phone, asking me how I was with my arthritis and how are the children.
    Enjoy your Silver wedding anniversary...quality not quantity.
    Best wishes
    Elizabeth xx

    Hello Elizabeth.
    I'm not saying I don't get on with her. I try to be very polite with her and yes, she does ask how I am getting on. But my daughter doesn't like her,but my son is OK because she and ex do so much for the grand children.
    It was OK when my son got married. No they suit each other.
    I'm happy that's the main thing and so are they.

    Hi Elizabeth and Joy

    I admire you both for your attitude to your ex-husbands' new partners. You are very kind and understanding.
