yea :(

my wife is learning not to do that.

I remember forever ago when I was living at home and still in high school, my brother and I decided to surprise my mom on thanksgiving and we did all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen spotless. When she walked into the kitchen the first thing she said was "the trash needs taken out". And she just walked through without saying anything else. I know that women don't get a pat on the back every day when they do the household chores but how often does a guy come in and say "honey, you missed a spot when you mopped"?

Everything but the eyelids and drawn bath thing.
I personally think of bathing as a neccesity rather than a fun thing to do.
Shower and be done with it.

And kissing a guys eyelids is just wierd, sounds like a chick definitely wrote that.

Okay guys, I think we are getting a little hung up on the eyelid kissing thing. It was just an example of something romantic she *could* do. Not something that every woman *should* do for every man. ;)

Find those unique romantic things he loves, then do them!
The preceeding things were just possible suggestions. As it says "unique". Each guy is going to have his own.

I'm pretty sure it's not the case that all women are some kind of weird mutant vampires that suck out eye ball juice. You don't need to worry about her sucking your eyeballs out.

The trick is to kiss them very softly. :)

We aren't going to french kiss your eyelid. That's just nasty. :disgust:

Hah you don't need to convince me. The whole eyelid kissing thing doesn't sound half bad to me :p.

I was just saying, these people are dwellin' on it a bit to much ;)

well that goes the other way too, lol, when I'm sitting there anxiously waiting for that first boot screen to come up,that's not the time to decide you'd like me to make you a sandwich :D

I've always found that I got more from men by paying more attention to the good stuff they do or try to do for me than by dwelling on things they didn't do. Besides, if you're positive and appreciative,the task in question usually gets done with a bit more care next time out :)

Your significant other would sometimes like to know that he's appreciated.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm a guy. :D

Woohoo, a GTI fan! :D Nice car, man.

I wanted a GTI 337 so badly, but I had purchased an '02 1.8T about 3 months prior to VWoA mentioning the release of the 337 edition *drool*. But anyways, it's cool to know that there's other GTI fanatics out there. Awesome!

Hey thanks- they're great cars! Check out the website I started at GTI Enthusiasts.com

I'd go so far as to say:

"...when he's enjoying his newly-purchased car or setting up the totally new 10.1 Home Theater System, complete with every gadget possible."

:D

Straight up. AMEN.
