Girls only!!! Too romantic?? Am I going overboard?

[hipster101]

So, this is more of a rant and a question rather than a life-relationship question....idk what I was going for there...but hey...I'll start. THIS IS VERY LONG

So, I have been dating the same girl for 6 months now, and 5 of them were when she was here. The other one, she has been two hours away because she moved. Not that big of a deal because I drive and own a car and I go to the city (where she moved to) quite a bit for work (I do professional photography), infact I'm going this upcoming Sunday.

Anyway...my question is on romance. It seems these days that not too many guys are that...into doing romantic stuff and sweeping her off her feet anymore..which annoys me...because well...I do. I never used to...until I met her...she made me more intouch with my hopeless romantic side. And, really, when I do the things I do...I don't expect anything in return except for her to love me for who I am. Which she is doing :D

What types of things do I do?? Well!

On valentines day I set up a school scavenger hunt, making her go to different places such as where we said our first hello, where we hangout, where I asked her out...etc. Each clue was hand done and individual. At each clue there was a box of chocolates or a bag of jelly beans (I only had three clues). At the last clue I was the "prize" and wa there with a rose and a note saying happy valentines day and a letter telling her how much she means to me.

On the next random occasion I decided to be romantic...I was more bored in Physics than wanting to be romantic...but anyway...I wrote on a piece of paper I love you 270 times, and at the last time I put "No matter how many times I say it I still mean it as much as the first".

And for my third to final romantic idea, the day before she moved I gave her a handmade box. In this box, cut like fortune cookie papers, were reason why I love her. All 265 (At this time I had known her for a total of 264 days). Each reason was original and sweet, the box tied with a ribbon and placed in her locker.

And finally, I got up early on Saturday, filled the car with gas, drove to see her and surprised her. We spent the day together, and before I left my town I got a rose. When we were there, the last somewhat romantic thing I did...we were walking, holding hands and talking etc. and I randomly stopped, and kissed her in the rain...out of the blue. :D

My question is: Is this too much? She is the only girl I've gone to that extent with...she is amazing and I want her to know that. And why don't more guys do it? I don't do it for anything in return, a simple smile on her face is enough.

if you enjoy doing all those romantic stuff because that's who you are then why would you stop? i find what you did to be cute (im not that much of a romantic guy)

That is not too much! That's incredible! Some girls would consider it a bit clingy and emotional but a smart girl would love this for sure!

to clarify, I don't do these things very often...just when the mood sparks me to to do something. In all fairness, the surprise visit was becaue of our six month, the scavenger hunt was valentines day, and the box was because she was moving away and it was all my feelings that I thought I wouldn't have the chance to share. The note was just simply because I was bored :D She never once used the word clingy...so I think I'm out of the woods...but she doesn't think she deserves most of what I do for her...which is complelty untrue...she doesn't deserve it....she deserves so much more than I can do and give her.

If I was the girl lucky enough to find this, my first impression would be you're fake, cheating on me, and then, once I moved on from my initial disbelief, I would be absolutely amazed and love you to pieces. So while it's definitely not overboard, nothing ever is, be sure to explain to her you're not doing this to cover up anything or keep your conscience cleam of an affair.

I know, and I'm not, I'm completly genuine in my actions and feelings. She is the first girl I have done such adorable things with. I usually was like lets spend the day together and do whatever or maybe even just call her. But...something told me...she deserves more...and she does.
I was going to do a picnic because according to her I "owe" her a cheesecake. (When we were in school she was studying for a test, she wanted cheese cake, so the free class before lunch I drove all around town trying to find her at least a slice. Ended up buying her a chocolate cupcake) It's raining that day...so I am changing my plan...idk what to do! Thought about taking her to a little cafe downtown in her new town, they serve cheesecake by the slice.
