I don't think this has happened too much yet as I do take a break in between flower giving, but I will have to be more careful in the future.
My question is: Is romance in general like this? I find that I am very creative in love and with romance, I don't like to be conceited or anything but I do know that I have come up with some very romantic ideas and I will probably always have that ability... I LOVE making my girlfriend happy and that I think is my inspiration. So... is doing something special the same as getting her flowers in regards to desensitizing her? For example, if I get her flowers one day and then a few days later I get a surge of inspiration and write her a poem, and then a week later fill her car with balloons... is that too much? Should I try to space it out a little more? Maybe keep a few cards up my sleeve? If I do something special other than get her flowers do you think the wait time should be the exact same as getting her more flowers? I've been with this girl for 8 months now and I'm still getting ideas on almost a daily basis so I'm fairly certain I won't ever run out, so the question is, how often do I act on those ideas?
Anyways, thank you for your advice as usual.
