For me, it was a college boyfriend who cleaned up my entire station at the restaurant so we could go home together instead of me being an hour behind. Romantic gestures mean different things to different people, so the people who know and love us best are often the only ones who can really knock it out of the park.

These 15 people have some seriously romantic people in their lives who aren’t afraid to show how they feel – and there’s no way to put a price on that! Here is what made them SWOON!

#15. She was a keeper.

“My SO looked after my nieces with me for 2 years. We’d been together 6 months, at that point.

I knew she was a keeper. 15 years later and we’re still together.”

#14. A lucky guy.

“One birthday, early on in our relationship,my girlfriend came over the night before my birthday, right at midnight to take me out. We had a picnic by the lake, and she made all the food herself. Still makes me smile thinking about it. Another time, she threw me a surprise party, and I never had one before, so that meant a lot as well. I really am a lucky guy.”

#13. Giggles like a child.

“Me and my SO work together and we try to keep our relationship hidden (of course almost everyone knows it, but they respect our decision). Sometimes when we are alone, even if it is only for 5 seconds, she surprise-hugs me when I least expect it and giggles like a child, knowing that I can’t return the favour. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I love these small gesture and for me, these are the most romantic things, she can do.”

#12. She just let me ramble on.

“Maybe this isn’t the most romantic thing but it was incredibly sweet and I think of it often,

I often get distracted working on projects in room and sometimes I can forget to stop and make sure I give my girlfriend the undivided attention she deserves, but the other day she just let me ramble on about what I was doing and how I should make her something and how I was getting some new tools, and I turned to her smiling and said “one day I’m gonna have such a nice workshop!”

The way she was looking at me and smiling, I don’t know, I just kinda realized she doesn’t really care about the new tools I’m getting, or if I make her something, but she really cared about how happy thinking about that stuff made me and she was gleaming with just how happy it made me to think about my furture workshop, even if it’s so off in the furture she never gets to see it. I guess her letting me ramble and seeing how she looked at me when I wasn’t paying attention made me feel really nice and cared about.”

#11. What a mastermind!

“My GF at the time (soon to be wife) made me the best 30th birthday gift ever. You know how ppl alianate from their friends with age, especially when working 8-10 hours in corporate. Connections get shallow etc. At some point I was feeling I don’t have any real friends anymore. So she managed to prepare an old school, hard cover custom made album where all my friends since high school had written (by hand) a BD wish and attached a real hard copy picture (prefacebook editions). This thing had like 30 more pages. It had been traveling Bulgaria (where I am from) for months. She had to contact ppl she hasn’t ever met before and ask them to participate. She made Ppl that are living abroad to take a picture of the hand written wish so she can print it and keep the style of the “book”. It is scary what mastermind she can be when motivated She is so amazing!!!”

#10. It made me blush.

“My girlfriend travels for work. This year she was gone on my birthday. To make sure I didn’t feel forgotten, she had her parents prepare a surprise. I foolishly didn’t request the day off so I was at work when her dad arrived carrying two baskets and a bunch of balloons. At her request, her parents got me lunch, snacks, and even brought cookies for my coworkers. It was a lovely birthday surprise, even if it made me blush a little.”

#9. A bouquet of sausage.

“My wife gave me a bouquet of sausage for my birthday.”

#8. Just a movie.

“It had been my birthday a couple of days before and we got together with a couple of friends to watch a movie at her house or at least my naive self thought it was just for a movie. They all left in the middle of the movie to do something in the kitchen. A couple of minutes go by and they’re still there. Im wondering whats taking them so long. I look over and she’s carrying a cake for me. It really meant a lot to me since I’ve never had friends that cared enough to get a cake for me before that.”

#7. 365 notes.

“I left for a year to work on a fishing vessel, my gf made me a jar with 365 notes with little memories and messages to me in it to open everyday while I’m away. About 7 months in now and we’re not together anymore lol. Was very sweet regardless.”

#6. Random and unexpected.

“When I was young, I was a huge Dr. Seuss fan. When my brother and his wife had a kid, I wanted to buy my new nephew my favorite Dr. Seuss book Fox in Socks. I ordered it, and when it arrived my fairly new girlfriend and I read it together on the couch. It was a very cute and innocent night together. Fast forward to our one year anniversary: she painted me a picture of tweetle beetles battling in a bottle with a paddle on a poodle eating noodles – my favorite part of my favorite Dr. Seuss book that we read together when we first started dating. Such a random and unexpected gift, but one of the sweetest most memorable things anyone has ever done for me.”

#5. The smallest gestures.

“To me the small gestures are the most romantic. One night I was over at her parent’s place late after work and I was very tired and very hungry (got off at midnight) and she made me a grilled cheese but kept returning to the couch to scratch my back while it cooked. It came out a little bit burnt on one side but it was the best grilled cheese i’ve ever had.”

#4. On my face.

“Ran into a friend I had not seen in months and was going through some personal shit, so we went to a pub and I/we drank a a stupid glorious amount of beer. Realized it was near midnight and I missed dinner so while staggering home I was texting my fiance for food or “I will die”. Got home and immediately crashed on the bed, and because I was too drunk to move my arms she left a sandwich on my face.

It was amazing. I love her so much.”

#3. A note on the counter.

“My exgirlfriend left me a note on the counter for me when I woke up to tell me how amazing I was. She said how much she loved me and how much I meant to her. That was when we were dating of course.”

#2. Drink it quick.

“I’m a big baseball fan. Had tickets to a playoff game a few years back, but the week before found out that I had to go away for some work retreat thing that was originally optional, so I sold the tickets online. Made a little profit but I didn’t care, I wanted to eat a hot dog and drink an overpriced beer with my girlfriend at a baseball game. Anyway, a few days before the work trip, of course they canceled it for our specific department because of funding or something or other, I don’t really remember because I was so angry. My girlfriend was texting me all day at work to see what we wanted to do that night, which I thought was weird because she kept asking over and over, and I told her I just wanted to stay home and sadly watch the game I missed on TV. Got home, she hands me a cold beer and says, “Drink it quick, we’re leaving in five minutes for the game.” Same-day scalped tickets were expensive, but she did it anyway, because she knew how much it meant to me. My team lost, but it was one of the moments that I realized I truly loved her. It was more the gesture than the money or the game, obviously, and she didn’t even like sports. We ended up breaking up amicably about eight months later, but we still stay in contact. She’s an amazing person.”

#1. The simple act.

“The simple act of her excitedly running at me whenever I get home from work and giving me a big hug!”

Chivalry may not be totally dead these days, but it’s certainly on life support. As a woman who has been pregnant twice in the past three years, I can confirm that people pretend not to notice unless they want to a) insult your weight or b) ask questions that are none of their business.

I don’t have to take public transportation on a regular basis, so I can’t really complain about having to squeeze into a tiny subway car seat sporting a giant, uncomfortable belly and swollen legs while perfectly normal-sized people refuse to make room. Based on this story — and the responses from others — I should count my blessings.

Twitter user Brydie Lee-Kennedy, an 8-months-pregnant woman, had that misfortune, and did not hesitate to share her tale of woe on the public forum.

Basically, there was one seat left, she was exhausted and carrying extra weight, and some guy thought his bag (and hand) needed the space more than she did. So, she sat on his hand and his bag, which apparently he still refused to move so they spent the rest of the ride in some sort of silent standoff.

Plenty of other women chimed in to share their stories of similar occurrences. All of them are my heroes, and braver than I would have been in a similar situation, though the discomfort caused by late pregnancy often causes one to lose one’s filter.

This one, though, is my favorite. It honestly needs to be a scene in a movie.

Long story short? Don’t be stupid, rude and obtuse. Pay attention to the people around you who aren’t having the best of days.

And get off your ass if a giant pregnant woman is standing near you.

We all love a “good deal,” but it’s important to remember that you get what you pay for. What might seem like a bargain at the time can really come back to bite you when you least expect it. That’s why there are some products and services that are worth the extra cash.

#15. Suffering.

“Running shoes, I’m suffering from years of cheap runners.”

#14. Having to buy replacements.

“Anything that you don’t want to dispose of right away, basically. Buying very cheap products might lead to having to replace them more often, making the entire duration of you owning the product more expensive than if you were to buy something that costs a bit more.

This is a real issue poor people have to face: not only do they have to buy the cheapest products because they can’t afford more expensive stuff, in the long run it will cost them even more money too. This is one of the reasons why it’s so hard to escape poverty.”

#13. You only get one set of chompers.

“Dental work.”

#12. Worth every penny.

“Mattress, a good nights sleep is worth it every penny of it.”

#11. Spend the money.

“Shoes. I can’t tell you how much money I’ve wasted buying cheap shoes only to have them go to shit and have to buy new ones in like a month. Spend the money on the good shoes and you won’t have to spend it later.”

#10. White wall paint.

“As I just had to find out – (white) wall paint. The cheap stuff is gray and translucent.”

#9. A good deal isn’t worth it.

“Tattoos! I don’t really care how good of a deal you got on your new monstrosity.”

#8. If you want to ski again…

“Knee support. I learned the hard way. Do not buy the cheap things from CVS. You only have 2 knees and you will miss them when they are gone. Go for a Bauerfiend. Expensive as hell but these bad boys let me ski again!”

#7. Protect your investment.

“Power supply on your desktop PC.”

#6. You lose so much.

“Modems/routers. A lot of times the cheap ones can’t keep up with your internet speed, so you lose so much.”

#5. A good quality bra.

“Underwear especially the bra. Makes a whole lot of difference. Nothing worse than a cheap bad quality bra.”

#4. Lawyers

“A cheap lawyer is still expensive, and can create messes that will require you to hire a more expensive lawyer to fix.

If you ever doubt your lawyer’s judgment, it’s 100% worth it to seek a consultation elsewhere if only for a second opinion. You are under no obligation to tell your current lawyer if you decide to stick with them, and many lawyers offer free consultations anyway.

ETA: make sure you’re not running afoul of any provisions of your retainer agreement before seeking another consultation. Same goes for state laws. I can only speak for my own jurisdiction, where it’s perfectly fine to do so.”

#3. Safety first.

“Brakes and tires.”

#2. To reduce or prevent injury.

“Anything meant to protect you. Helmets, work boots, sporting equipment, ect. If the purpose of the item is to reduce or prevent injury, then don’t cheap out on it.”

#1. You don’t want the regret.

“Trash bags. They’re one of those items where you can really tell the quality difference. Trust me, you don’t want the regret of lugging a bag full of rotten produce and cat litter to the dumpster, trying to swing it over the edge and feel it tear apart in your hands on the upswing. It’s a horror you will never forget. Buy better trash bags.”
