Today we're going out to lunch... I drew her a beautiful portrait (in pencil on nice paper) of her and I, nose to nose. (Wi wi, I am an artist as well, lol).

I've got to pick her up some Stargazer lillies (her favorite) and I'm presenting her with the flowers before lunch, and the picture afterward. That's just today...

Tomorrow, here are the plans:

Taking her to our favorite Mexican restaurant around 8:00pm... after that, until around 11:00, we will either go to a party that her work is having (bunch of Best Buy people) or just go to a fun bar, just the two of us.

After 11, I'm bringing her back to my place... to the family room downstairs. There is about 50 balloons on the floor, 5 of which have nice little cards in them like "free backrub" ... "get your nails painted, on me" etc... Also in the room there will be candles lit and setup. We will have the big screen turned on to the ball dropping.... we'll watch it and have a good time. After the ball drops, we're going to go outside and play with some sparklers I bought.

During all of this, we'll have the bubbly of course. We love cheap Martini Asti champaign, so I'll have two bottles of that (she normalls kills one herself). I'll have fruit and other desserts setup to snack on.

As for the finale, I found this great idea for a game: two bowls, one full of milkduds, one full of little strips of folded paper that have different types of kisses on them (For example... long, slow kiss.... deep, tonguey kiss... soft kiss on left ear, etc).... we'll basically keep pulling these and performing them until we're finished. It should be around 1am at this point.

Then I'll knock the bottom out!

Even if Megan and I don't work out in the end, after she takes some space, I want to go out with a bang. I need romance in my life as much as she does so it should be fun. I'm a softy!

you should have done something simpler, yet fun. i think your over the top plan might not go over so well. the last thing a girl that wants space wants is to be showered with attention.

new years isn't really an SO thing IMO. Sure you spend the night with them, but it's not like you have to do something FOR them.

Have fun :)

This year I'm letting her pick...

Last year I took her to Niagara Falls and got a "Fallsview" room at the Sheraton on the 16th floor... ordered in some wine, and we just stayed in the room... it was a great time, and very romantic... So this year I'm goign to let her take lead... :)

Did you spend 3 hours working on the shading on her upper lip?

Oh dear. Check this forum out, it's based on the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and could solve most of the YAGTs: here

I don't have a SO, but I'll probably be spending New Year's with some friends.

Nothing. I'll probably cook something yummy for dinner and we'll be in bed by 10:30.

I just hope we can get our furnace fixed today! It is 64 in here right now.
 

She's gonna hate it. I guarantee you...she's going to feel like she's been smothered.

64F is what I keep it at year-round! 59F... now that's when I can't feel my fingers...

Normally I'd agree, but she's a huge sucker for over-the-top romance. She is the one who normally plans this stuff out for me, just as much, but because she's been depressed and has a lot going on, I've stepped up to the plate this time.

First we're going to go to our favorite bar with some friends.

Then, she's going going to get totally trashed. I may get trashed also, but I usually end up as designated driver.

Finally, she'll probably get sick and vomit.

Then I'll knock the bottom out!

...or maybe just go to sleep.

Actually, I think we're breaking up. Just one month shy of a year. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on it. I was going to make a thread about it, but honestly, who wants to read that crap anyway.

I think I'll just play some Civ III and drink beer today waiting for my car to get fixed.

:(

Hell, when I read the OP, I was like, you are supposed to do sh!t for your SO on New Years? I have never done that, or even heard of that before... crazy
