I ❤ romance. When I was about 17, I cycled 10 miles across London at 3am to declare my undying love to a girl I fancied but who didn't fancy me. A modern-day recreation of the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet would surely – I reasoned – win her round. Sure, it was way creepy. Sure, she lived in a basement. And, sure, it turned out she was with another boy. But I'm a die-hard romantic, and you will have to rip my heart out before I renounce such gestures.
As I have previously chronicled, I am childishly proud of the handmade cards I make loved ones on Valentine's Day and at Christmas. This year, though, I have (sob) no one to send one to. With V-Day upon us tomorrow, I am left slurping vicariously on the romance of others. So tell me: what's the most romantic thing you've ever done? What are you planning for tomorrow? Answers below. Who knows? We might even print the best of them in G2 this week. And cynics: stay away. As Pete Doherty (and sidekick Wolfman) once said: this is for lovers.
