Taking Bianca out for dinner and a surprise after a day of hard work and advice from Mohammed.
3 years ago, this date, September 21st, I met Bianca for the first time when we went to visit the city of Utrecht. 3 years later she is still by my side and I love her very much.
(omg, this is the same line as this mornings post, but the rest will be different I promise)
I had to work this morning in Rotterdam. A server crashed at a company I work for and it needed to be fixed.
I just assumed in my mind that it wouldn't take me too long to get it back up and running but I was wrong. (Which is usually the case in my line of work when you think something can be done fast.)
I have become friends with the janitor that works there. His name is Mohammed and he's from Marocco. We talk from time to time about our lives in the depth of the building where the server resides.
He's 60 and a self-proclaimed expert in relationships. We have a lot of fun talking about it.
I told him that it's my 3 year anniversary today and he looked at me and said, 'You need to buy her a gift!'
A gift?
Of course! That's what you do when it's a special day!
He said, 'when it's a special day I always buy a perfume for my wife and she loves it.'
'Wow', I said.
I asked, 'have you ever bought her flowers?'
He said, 'Oooooh yes! every week I buy her flowers.'
I was impressed.
I asked, 'So I take it you and her never argue, seems like you are a good man?'
He said, 'Ooooh she angry at me every day! But that's normal!' He said with a smile.
(I must admit as a rookie to the relationship business, things like this, leaves me puzzled at times.)
I decided to take his advice though and six hours later, after work, I found myself in a perfume store.
Completly lost I asked the girl that worked there for advice.
She made me smell 6 different smells she sprayed on a piece of paper. And I went with my gut. I bought a fragrance called Burberry because it smelt the best.
The girl wrapped it up really nice in the store.
When I got home I decided to be romantic and made the bed and put the gift in the center.
When Bianca got home we decided to go for Japanese food for tonight and she went upstairs.
I waited patiently for the surprise to unfold itself.
"Did you buy me a gift!", I heard coming from upstairs.
I went upstairs. This was my moment of glory!
"I didn't buy you anything and now I feel guilty, I'm so sorry."
She was nearly in tears.
'but'.....(I was in serious need of Mohammed's wisdom), this was not the plan....
I said, "But it's a surprise for you! I didn't expect anything!"
Really?
I said, "Really!"
She said: "I will buy you something later this week!"
She opened the gift and was very moved.
She never had perfume before, only Eau the toilet. (I never knew, I think she smells great in general)
She smelled it, and loved it!
We went out for dinner this night and Bianca wore her new perfume.
We had a great meal and a lovely evening.
When I go back the business to finish up on Monday I'll thank Mohammed for his advice.

Happy 3 year anniversary!! I'm so happy for you both! Mohammad is a wise man. I don't bring flowers every week, but once a month is always a nice surprise just to tell her you appreciate and love her. I remember the post you made when you brought her flowers after she was returning home. Little things like this tell her you're thinking about her and make her feel special. At least that's what my wife tells me. :) When you made that post I remember I bought flowers for my wife the very next day, a little earlier than normal, but seeing her smile is worth all the flowers in the world.
Great story again brother and you guys look so happy and great together!! I'm so very happy for you both! :) Happy anniversary again!
O wow! That is romantic man! It's nice to see them smile, isn't it? And thank you!
🎉🎉HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY @EXYLE AND @BKDBKD!🎉🎉
It is truly amazing to see how you are still going strong after 3 years and I hope there are many more years to come of joy and happiness.
Great to learn about Mohammed. I guess I need to get some tips from him since I'm not that great with relationships haha. It seems like he is the man to go to if you want to charm a woman.
I've tried Burberry before and they make pretty good cologne. I'm glad that Bianca liked the present and I can't wait to see what she is going to get you in the coming days :)
Is it just me or does the third photograph seem as if it was taken by a professional and then edited with photoshop? haha. That shot looks absolutely spectacular with that blur and how sharp Bianca's silhouette is.
It has been a while or so since I've been able to see one of your posts. Really annoying how work is eating up most of my time and all I am able to do is make posts but hopefully in the future, I'll be able to dedicate more time to steemit. (fingers crossed)
Well I hope you had a great day bud! :)
I do also like that photograh. The background was just a poster in the restaurant. (that was probably the professional :) )
You are a good guy, have a nice day @exyle and bianca
thank you!
Man be aware...your friends might ask you for advice sometime about relationships as you are developing to become a relationship expert yourself! Congrats on you and @bkdbkd anniversary
LOL! WOuldn;t that be something!
Oh, it's such a lovely romantic plot!
Enjoy your story with the one!
3 years of togetherness and love :) that's pretty cool ,glad to see you enjoyed the special day in a very special way Happy 3 year anniversary once again :)
Great stuff exyle. Giving back is always a great way to go. I hope Bianca truly like it and I'm sure she did. I will also take Mohammed's advice when I have a girlfriend myself.
happy 3rd anniversary wish you have many more to come :)
I'm sure the evening was even more lovely after you got home :))) Good job impressing Bianca, women tend to sense when we are trying to make a surprise so it's not always easy :D
Very romantic @exyle, I congratulate you on your three-year anniversary! A great gift was presented to Bianca, and also evening and dinner was excellent. Rest your friends :)
