Women: Have you ever been woo-ed over?

Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!

In college, I was a fraternity ‘sweetheart’, and they occasionally stood below my dorm window and sang. My SO has an appreciation for music and can carry a tune. I love it when he sings in private.

In both cases, it didn’t win my heart, although it was endearing. In my little world, forget the flowers, diamonds, and big house. If a man were come home and tell me, “Honey, I noticed that your car was due for an oil change and needed the tires rotated, so I had this done”, well, that alone could capture my heart.

I played in a band for years and used songs I wrote to woo different women. The hard part was when the relationship was over and you wrote a song about the person, but they were no longer in the audience to hear it . . .

No, never. Darn it.

My husband (boyfriend) at the time and I had been dating for just a few weeks. We went out for the evening then returned to his apartment to find the door locked. We waited in the back of my truck for his roommate to return with a key. While we were waiting we drank some vodka and told stories. After I told him a story about an interesting party I had attended while going to college in California, it was his turn. He began to recite the story of The Three Little Pigs. I’m not shitting you. He told me the entire story, word for word. I loved how animated he was when he told it to me.

I thought it was the cutest thing a guy had ever done to woo me. It was so adorable. That was the moment I feel in love with him. (20 years ago this coming June) =)

Yes, several times by different bf’s. Yes, it worked to endear me but that’s because I was already smitten.

I say let’s have a 20th anniversary lurve-party for Blondesjon and Jonsblonde in June.

Does singing in your ear as you dance count? He had a very nice voice and I enjoyed it.

@seazen_ I spent our 19th wedding anniversary on the 4th of this month in bed, sick with strep. How very sweet of you. What a nice thought.=)

I guess this story counts for wooing.

I had been dating my husband, then boyfriend, for about a month. I really liked him. He was everything I ever wanted and things I had not even thought of. Anyway, one evening we were outside talking before he walked me to my door. He took my hands and told me that in his country there is a tradition called declaración, and it is when a man tells a women he loves her, and then he proceded to say he loved me. It was so sweet. He is generally very romantic. Honestly, other things about him caused me to fall in love with him, but he does still do sweet things every so often sort of redeclaring his love.

In my country, there is a jelliclaration, where a flutherite says to the jelly above him: I lurve you.

Awww. I feel officially wooed. But then, I felt a special thing for you even before you jelliclarationed me.

So dance with me

Hahaha. That’s the song you pick to dance with me? Funny, I met my husband on a dance floor.

What song did you dance to then – twenty odd years ago?

I don’t remember what song we first danced to. I have to ask him if he remembers. We were in a club, mostly high energy music, with some top 40 thrown in. “Miami” music. The first time I saw him he was dancing on a speaker with another girl LOL.

Probably this

Haha. Good pick.

yes but, nothing like the wooing that went on back in the olden days but more of a modern way. I love being sent a song, poetry, even an unexpected call or text message by someone I am seeing. It shows they are thinking about you when your not there.

I lurve you @creative1 My husband asked me to marry him by singing “Can I Have This Dance for the Rest of My Life” in my ear.

@bkcunningham How wonderfully romantic that was for him to do, now that was some really sweet wooing..

Yes. I have had previous boyfriends sing for me and learn to play specific things on their guitar for me and I’ve been sent poetry.

My husband, bless, sounds like a frog with a sore throat when he sings and he doesn’t write poetry or play guitar but he does bring me coffee in bed every morning and has for 10 years and he has helped me shower and washed my hair when I was sick and couldn’t. Not as romantic but really so much more sincere.

I don’t get the pun. Help? I started dating this guy junior year of college who i wasn’t sure about. Then my cat died. I came back to my dorm room soon after that and found that a folder had been slipped under my door. It was a charcoal drawing of a photo (from facebook) of me holding my cat in her dying days done by this guy. It was really good, and obviously took a long time. This really warmed my heart, and I decided to give him a chance.
But unfortunately he was as bad at kissing as he was good at drawing.

Woo over, win over.

Ehh, I don’t call that a pun :)
