I told him that going to paris for that was a little bit extreme. I was suggesting that he meet her up in Chicago or something. Still romantic, but a little less creepy since Chicago is close and it would be fairly cheap. That way it doesn't sound like he is buying her love or something. Who knows... I feel bad for him because as you all said he is probably going to be out the money and he is also going to lose some reputation points for doing it.
A romantic gesture for someone who just dumped you is insulting. I don't know the reasons for why their relationship ended, if anyone is to "blame". If I dumped my SO and then received a note and a ticket, I'd run it through the shredder. It's insulting that there were problems in our relationship to the point that I ended it, and instead of addressing them, changing behaviour, he thinks the fix is a trip somewhere and everything is magically all better. My blood would be boiling if I received that and I would want to tell him to take a leap off the Pont Neuf.
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?
I don't really think his gestures are very romantic at this point.
Once a girl's fed up and made up her mind, doesn't matter how grand the romantic gesture is.
She could easily dump his tickets into the ocean, and not care.

This is romantic and sweet although if it were me I would prefer him giving it to me personally
I'm not seeing the romance in this. She broke up with him. She doesn't want to be with him. Presumably that means she doesn't want to be with him in Paris, either.
Frankly, even if he had broken up with her, it's still unwise. As someone else mentioned, trying to avoid major relationship issues by performing grand gestures is a mistake. All the cafe creme and foie gras in the world can't take the place of actual work on your relationship.
Definitely not romantic, and it ensures he won't get her back anytime soon. Stupid move no matter what the reason for getting dumped. He's not thinking clearly and he's about to be humiliated and be out xxx amount of dollars. This is what we call "learning the hard way".
