On making an ass of myself for love.

I’ve recently been taking count of the demonstrations of love I’ve shown in the past, and thought it worthwhile to share the things that were a little more creative and inspired than the candy and flowers and champagne and poems and powerpoint presentations outlining a partner’s attributes and such that are de rigeur for romance and list a few of them here:

• Once acquainted with a companion’s various sizes, I’ve bought her a new outfit, blindfolded her, and changed her into it.
• I’ve written love letters in colored pencil that made floating hearts when viewed with red-green 3-D glasses.
• I’ve completely filled an automobile with balloons, each with a note inside.
• I’ve made a cardboard sign that read “WILL WORK FOR (COMPANION’S NAME)” and stood by the side of the road along the route that she took home, waiting for her to pass by and see me. She took a different route home that day, and I stood there for two hours before giving up.

With Valentine’s day less than a month away, I heartily encourage y’all to take any and all of these ideas and run with them, or add your own. I’m looking forward to the day when I get inspired to come up with some new ones.
