I've determined that I need to get out of my current live-in romantic relationship. How do I stick to my guns and break up?

Please explain romance to an asexual aromantic who's wobbling on the romantic identification. What's the difference between romance and friendship?

When my girl returns from a 6 week trip, I want to do something cool and quirky and romantic for her as a surprise. Nothing necessarily big and tacky or public and embarrassing.
Any ideas?
She doesn't like "objects" too much -- she's more of a road trip, beach night, indie-mix-cd kind of girl. We write a lot, so I don't want to do anything like that. I made her a CD for the flight there, so not that either. It could be a gift, or an experience.
We do not live together. It doesn't have to be something immediately when she comes back. I just wanted to do something sweet that was a little more out of the ordinary for us.

I'd like to date my best friend. We've known each other for four or five years, and hang out once or twice every couple of weeks. We're very close, and talk a lot on the phone or online. We both find each other attractive.
So my question is, how do I best segue from this platonic relationship into a romantic one? If it goes badly, say if he tells me I've totally misinterpreted the tenor of our relationship, what can I do to patch things over? And - does anyone have any success stories? Thanks so much.

If the woman of my affections has been dating some other guy for a year -- a relationship she has said is "not that serious," in frequent playful e-mails to me -- what strategy is smarter? Stay in a queue until she becomes available? Ask what's up? Steal her away? Can anyone share successful or unsuccessful ploys to turn the other guy into the Baxter, when the woman involved is a pretty neat friend you'd like to avoid losing?

Interesting / quirky suggestions for Valentine's Day? I'm based in London but it doesn't have to be UK-specific - I would be happy to hear your more general anecdotes of memorable romantic or eccentric activities. NB: She doesn't like expensive meals and is afraid of heights. (Posted anonymously so the lady in question doesn't figure that I've turned to AskMeFi for inspiration!)
