Do you think romance is old, dead, boring or do just not have the time?
Right now I'm making a3 course meal for my man i made every thing almost from sketch and it got me thinking how many times hes been romantic with me and he has but I think i can safely say I'm the romantic one lol .
So would you class your self romantic or ........ don't know what you would call someone not romantic 'real'?
It has got to be said I love th Sweet, mushy, romantic stuff 'The need to feel special' my mum always says the spoiled little girl in use all that wants to be pampered and looked after.
What are your views on the hole thing is romance a old fashioned dying trade?
:rose: :inlove: :violin: kiss dunno
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thats so sweet have a chat with rich for me lol
Sometimes I think complacency can set in, and that romance just doesn't get a look. I love romance. I would love to afford expensive romance too. But its not just about cash i know. Romance is never dead just maybe on a back burner a lot of the time neutral
Beneath this hard bitch-faced, independent exterior beats the heart of a true romantic redface
I love being given flowers, doors held open, a kiss just because he wants to, all that romantic stuff coz it makes me feel wanted. The fact that I don't get any of that speaks for itself sad
Thats all we want really its no effort but for that second you thought of her smile
He gets all mushy and romantic just before sex thats the only time rolleyes so obvious lol but i like romance i wanna do all these soppy things which ive never had chance to do like going to see a really bad film and hiding out at the back smooching or taking a bath together tried to cook him a romantic meal once - was no kids in the house so i set to it he came in and laughed at me for it, he didnt get to eat his dinner that night :roll: so i tend not to bother now
I can empathise, Flower!
Our first ever night alone in a hotel room together (Notts Munch)....we get back to the room, I nip into the bathroom to put on a naughty negligee & brush my teeth, come back less than two minutes later to find Mr W sprawled across the bed, snoring. evil I ended up sitting on the window ledge for hours.
Not to mention.....
Greek island last year, first time we'd been abroad other than camping in Mainland Europe. Eldest babysits at the apartment so we can have one evening alone together. We have it all planned- walk to the taverna, eat, then a moonlit walk along the beach to get romantic in the sand dunes. We had the best table in the house, overlooking the Aegean as it lapped onto the rocks below. Fantastic meal. Crisp wine......
And then I almost have to carry him back up the hill to the fecking apartments.
:evil: :evil:
That time I lobbed him on the bed & left him to it- I went to the bar & drowned my sorrows 'til about 4am.
So, despite being a romantic, I've pretty much given up on romance. confused

Who are you and what have you done with Markz? :shock:
Yey my man is romantic! Last night we were chatting after I made him a nice romantic meal and I declared I was the romantic one but he blows me away by buying me a radio for my car ( which I have need for ages coz I dont have one).
I then said how sweet it was, now every time I'm driving my car with my fav songs going and think 'my boyfriend is so romantic'.
Its the little things that make a big difference.

Oooooo does buying MrFB a new garden fork count as romantic then? :undecided:
Quote by Dizzy_DonnaCouple
Dont no did he think it was sweet?? rolleyes

I'll let you know, when he's finished digging the garden!
Im spoilt as my hubby is just a true romantic in a million ways which is one of the things that makes our relationship so special.
The trouble is today is that many women want their cake and eat it. You may say that is quite right and equality is everything. The point is that sometimes men are just confused about how they should act because of the negative response, so they just give up trying.
On the other hand though, how many women do romantic stuff for their male partners/lovers/boyfriends? For me, romance is a two way street.
I still do- just last week I put a slushy post it note on the headboard.
I agree with you wholeheartedly that guy's have it pretty tough these days & find it difficult sometimes to figure out their "role."
Quite happy to be un-PC here and say 'fuck equality - women can never be equal to men, in lots of ways'. I like having doors opened, bloke walking on the road side of the pavement, holding my chair ready for me to sit on it. Give me a gentleman any day, over a bloke who gives in to 'equality'.
I always open doors and carry the heavy bags etc etc...
I feel its the right thing to do......Some old fashioned values I expect....

Nothing wrong with that biggrin
If a guy hold a door open for me, he'll get a warm smile & a thank you.
However, I've seen guy's holding doors open for women only to be rewarded with a snotty look that seems so say "you've got no chance, go away you horrible little man" mad
It makes me seethe when I see such arrogance!

In situations like that I utter a quite loud Thankyou as they walk through the door :lol2:

I'll often hold the door open for older folks or mums with pushchairs, etc. - if they don't say 'thanks', I do it for them!
Yup- we do too!
However, it's even more effective if you have a small child with you who does it for you- shows 'em up no end wink
