I (30F) am putting a playlist for my guy (28M) and need romantic song recommendations :)

Submitted by UnlearningLife t3_127mygl in relationship_advice

I, being a typical millennial have pigeon-holed myself into listening to the same songs over and over again, and I've never felt this way about anyone before, I'm struggling to find songs that match how I feel.

I have CPTSD (PTSD from prolonged exposure to abuse, went from violent parents to a violent spouse) and most of my romantic encounters have been abusive. I've been single for 8+ years before meeting this one and it's the healthiest relationship I've been in. We met not too long ago so I don't want any overtly serious songs, definitely no vowing of undying love. I also think I'm hardened from decades of abuse, I find most love songs corny and vomit-inducing. I listen to a lot of rap and rock whilst he listens to a lot of pop and some house and country which is another struggle. Here are the songs I have on the playlist already:

  • Your Song by Ellie Goulding (cover, originally by Elton John)
  • Your Song by Rita Ora (completely different from above, it's a song about not wanting to listen to sad songs anymore)
  • Make You Mine by PUBLIC
  • Just the Two of Us by Grover Washington
  • Take Me Home by Jess Glynne

Thank you in advance :)

A bit immature and cringy imo but, you know the the person you are enamoured with better. Like so much better that you have to ask strangers to help you make a supposedly personalized play list. You two must be soulmates since you know soooo much aboth him.
