Referring to the thread in Sexuality... I wrote a sonnet for a crush once (he was my best friend at the time) and damn, it WAS like digging a trench. He liked it a lot, though. Too bad he still didn't fall for me! I think sonnets and romantic things in general go over better with girls than they do with guys, unfortunately.

I forgot to add something else I did (for the crush/best friend mentioned above) that would topple any girl (and maybe a few guys): a memory jar. Type out one-line memories of your relationship together, then double-space them. Print the page(s) and cut out each line, then put them all together in a jar (you can fold them or whatever, if you want). If you do it right, the jar becomes filled with these little fortune-cookie sized memories, and the girl/guy will love pulling them out one at a time, for years to come.
