So my coworker was recently dumped by his girlfriend. I have no clue why or details about how in love they were. Yesterday he told us the following. In an attempt to acquire her back he is planning on buying 2 round trip tickets to Paris (from Chicago). One for him, one for her. He is going to put it into an envelope and mail it to her with the instructions that he will be waiting on the Pont Neuf bridge for her on a specific date and time.

Is grand gestures like this romantic?
It would probably be if he was still in a relationship. Now that they are broken up it screams creepy.
I'm not 100% sure of her reasoning for dumping him, but if it was because he never did anything romantic or forgot their long term anniversary then it might be romantic.
However, if she broke up with him because she no longer has feelings for him then this is not romantic it is stupid. If a girl already made up her mind that she isn't into you anymore, don't spend thousands of dollars trying to get her back. If she comes back you will always wonder if it is becasue she realizes that she made a mistake and loves you OR just wanted a free trip to Paris.

Yikes, that doesn't sound like a good idea to me at all. I am missing the romance gene, though. I don't like big romantic gestures in general.
I can honestly say I agree with most of you. I found it to be a bit creepy/odd. He at least has a good mind about it. He said if she doesn't show up then oh well, he is out the money.
He is going to put it into an envelope and mail it to her with the instructions that he will be waiting on the Pont Neuf bridge for her on a specific date and time.
And then what? If he wants to prove to her that he deserves a second chance, he doesn't have to spend thousands of dollars on the assumption that she's going to want to go through the hassle of an international flight, especially when she's the one who dumped him. He can meet her for coffee or take her out to dinner for that.
