It is both!

On the romantic side, by doing this, you keep the whole thing as secretive as possible and ensure that it is a surprise. The "romantic" parts are, obviously though, much more a function of the activity itself.

Here's the last trick...every girl, if you present them with these types of things will say "that would never work on me." To date, I've never failed. Did they know *something* was up, of course, I made that clear, but they had no idea what and were in the end blindsided

I understand. there are different ways to do different things =)

I've used it in the past to help throw someone off the scent.

Purposefully left it open with something cryptic on another date to make them expect it then...and then pop it out earlier =)
