Ok, first I have to call Nilfun out on her plagiarism of the song "One Hundred Ways" sung by James Ingram.
Second (pushes Joannadandy gently out of the way) I have to snuggle up to Eric
Third, BeautifulGarbage is right on the money from the married lady perspective.
Romance is really mostly in the mind. If he listens, remembers, and asks questions, especially when they are cuddling, he will be well on the way to winning her heart. Gifts are nice, but not the expensive stuff, the small and thoughtful stuff. Like, one guy I dated bought me a tin of teacakes, because I had mentioned to him how much I missed my grandmothers teacakes. They are not easy to find in California, and it really touched me that he went out of his way to get them. I had intended to break up with him that night, but that little gesture bought him another two weeks (not any nookie, though).
Good luck to "your friend"
