Haha, this is bad. So very bad. I'd rather send myself little prompts. That urge, motivate and inspire me to remind my spouse how much I care about them. Nothing wrong with using automation to remind yourself to focus on them, to remind yourself what's really important. But automation to outsource your affection? PUKE

  I do respect your method but consider the fact that "composing Romantic messages" is not the strong suit of lots of people.

    If that's the case your spouse should be able to figure it out. "Why is he so romantic and poetic with SMS but can't bring me flowers?" And you don't need to be poetic really, something like. "I was thinking about your wavy hair on my face" from a prompt like "Think about something you really care about her"

Hi, I am Izu, and I created irentaway (wcky domain name i know). Background story: We all find love in unexpected places don't we? Recently in law school, I met this really amazing girl who loves sending me text messages (SMS) and always insists I do same. Generally I have no idea how to come up with love texts messages and this usually led to some friction. Why not use others: Using all the message apps out there is really cumbersome because you have to search through to find a decent enough message. Same also with googling. Why you need this: Serendipity is the beauty of life. Receiving text message suggestions without actively searching could make you that spontaneous lover your partner has always dreamed about.

Hey Izu, it would be great if there were a handful of example messages somewhere on the site(if there already is I couldn't find it). Also, the learn more link at the top of the page is unresponsive. Using desktop Chrome latest.

  Hi. Thanks for mentioning. The messages will be sent to you first so you send it yourself to your spouse. This is a bare bones project right now. Would add more features asap.
