Sweet and Romantic or an Unexpected Surprise?

K, here goes another random thread...
Guys and girls:
Let's say you have a SO and you guys live together (if you don't, just play along). You both have day jobs and have the occasional day off together but playtime is rare but you both enjoy it...
If you were feeling frisky and in the mood what would turn you on more? If, for example, your lover did sweet and creative things to get you ready for some action, like send u texts all day to get you excited, or maybe cook you dinner and run a bath and basically have you looking VERY forward to some great sex later, or if he or she never let you see it coming and surprised you? I'm talking an ambush when you walk in the door... skirt and panties down, pants and boxers off, right there on the table or on the floor.
Personally, I enjoy going all-out for someone and I'd probably send him sexy pics and tell him what I wanna do to him while he's away, have him hot and bothered, have dinner cooked when he gets home, and give him a good rubdown before it all goes down. I would probably prefer the same treatment personally, because I LOVE foreplay, and sometimes unexpected quickies don't include that.
I like being pampered and treated like a princess, and I don't always like to be caught off guard and f*cked like a porn star. Sometimes I like to be layed down, licked and kissed on, teased, massaged, and then we can get down to business.
The thrill of a quickie is always nice..... but I prefer to take my time, get ready and look my best... Sexy lingerie, nice-smelling lotion, the whole 9 yards.
Anyone care to share their opinion??
Feel free

i think it depends on the SO you are with.
are they romantic by nature? do the operate in the spur of the moment?...you need to know them well enough to make that call correctly.

I think creating a big buildup to the moment would be better....lets you know someone desires you, and that is a much bigger turn on to me cause i am romantic by heart :-)
