Dublin Does Romantic Gestures- sorta

The Top 9 (I'm edgy like that, don't want to go with the crowd) Romantic Pub Gestures
Drawing a heart in the top of the Guinness.
The tried and tested. Every man loves when someone fondles the head of their Guinness and drawing a heart in your partner’s pint is sure to make sparks fly.

Ever the romantic, your partner makes sure to get four single euro coins in their change. They lovingly place them in a neat pile in front of your pint. Romance and safety in mind, this ones a keeper.

Origami is the much underused art of creating beauty by folding pieces of paper. The advantages are two-fold however (pun intended) with a well constructed swan sure to make her heart melt.

Nothing shows love more than “Joe luvs Mel 4eva” scrawled across the cubicle wall. The relationship might not last but the permanent marker declaration will be there for years!

Everyone knows how to make a house out of beer mats, why not spice things up and make a love- shack? Note: Heineken beer mats stack best!

Let her win at pool. Sure, it’ll de-mascilinise you there and then but you’ll have a better chance of giving her your stick and balls at a later date.

Girls love bunches of flowers but they also love guys who go against the crowd and do their own thing. Get her 4 bags of flour tied together. It’ll show her you’re different but you also have an interest in culinary arts.

It’s a leap years guys! Return that ring and let the girl get down on one knee! The most romantic way to propose to your man has to be to buy him his favorite pint, a pack of scampi AND bacon fries, just for him and instead of a ring- a new set of alloys for his car. Beautiful.

Continuing on the proposal theme, recession may have hit you or you may just be cheap. Either way, ring pulls are a perfectly acceptable substitute for a diamond ring.
