Romantic gestures can take endless forms, but the ones that truly leave a lasting impression are those aligned with how your partner receives love. A great place to start is by exploring their love language by taking the Love Languages quiz together. Let's say your boyfriend or girlfriend's primary love language is quality time
, then plan an intentional evening just for the two of you: a cozy movie night at home with no phones, a spontaneous scenic walk on a new trail, or a full day at the beach with their favorite snacks and music.
If they value acts of service , think about the everyday things that might stress or overwhelm them, then quietly take care of those things. Surprise them by detailing their car, filling up their gas tank before a weekend outing, or taking over a chore they’ve been dreading.
The most romantic gestures aren’t always grand, they’re thoughtful, personalized, and done with presence and care.

How do you know if you're toxic?
This quiz said that I'm toxic but I don't agree with that! I don't think the questions are very fair. Is it toxic to want your best friend's new friends to be nice?
