Are You Romantic?

I too am a hopeless romantic. Nobody seems to want to do the romance thing any more and I thinks it's sad.

I'm actually very romantic, despite some confusion about it on another thread. Will post when I recover my wits.

I suspect that there are a lot of different definitions of romance.

Maybe you could tell us what it means to you, Montana, cuz we could be saying that we're also romantics but have entirely different interpretations of the word.

I guess my first post was very short and without much substance. I indicated that I consider myself a romantic, but did not elaborate on why I feel this way.

It is hard to describe romance. To some, romance may simply mean that they like to have dinner by candlelight. Others may think it is cuddling after a night of torrid lovemaking. Others may not have a clue, but think it is cool to say that they are romantic.

My romantic nature starts with my birthdate, February 14th. The date in itself may not be romantic, but the significance of the date is the basis for many a romance.

For me, being romantic is more that being born on a significant day or sending roses on special occasions. Though, I do that.

Romance, to me, is thinking ahead so that I don't do something stupid when I am in the company of someone special of the opposite gender. It is doing things that I, if I were a woman, would probably like done for me. Trying to anticipate the needs and wants of my lady love. Both sexually, and in any other setting.

Making her feel special makes me feel special. Not to say that I want to become subservient, but I want to put the lady in a place that makes her anticipate what I may do next.

The small things are more important than many men realize. It is not necessarily the big flashy cars and expensive dinners. It is the genuine interest that is shown and comfortably portrayed. When it becomes effort to provide the little things, it is no longer romantic.

A walk in the moonlight; a stroll in the snow; a single flower for no reason; a glass of wine on the beach....these are romantic. These are things that I enjoy and these are the things that can be shared with a special someone.

Remembering a birthday; a first song; a favourite movie; the first date.....These are romantic.

I think I will end now as I am getting a bit emotional........

i described myself to a close female friend as a copeless romantic

i'm not much for the mushy crap

?????

It's taking time for the details that IS romantic!

Silly guy!

Things I've done in past relationships ....

Called the radio station and requested our favorite song to be played on the radio on his way to work.

Been the one to draw the bubble bath (for both of us) and pampered every square inch of his body. :wink:

Thought up new things to do in the bedroom so he never got bored. They say that variety is the spice of life. I would make sure I was all the variety he needed.

I love to hold hands. He would find me holding his a lot when we were out and about.

I'm not an overly predictable person. Meaning that there is a part of me that is pretty adventurous. I would always be trying new things with him. The first time I ever jumped out of an airplane was the summer after I graduated high school. The guy I was dating at that time loved skydiving. I was petrified! But the thrill of it all, going down was an awesome adrenaline rush.

Fixing his favorite meal .... turning all the lights out and lighting candles all over the house and greeting him at the door .... naked. Then sitting in his lap and hand feeding him s-l-o-w-l-y (between long, slow, kisses)

Being romantic keeps you close to each other. You just need to know how to balance everything out so no one feels suffocated. And both, eagerly await the others arms and the end of the day.

*sighs*

whooooo....I guess I should get my husband in here, he's the romantic one.

I tell him I love him every day, and mean it, and he does the same.....and I guess once in a blue moon I like to get flowers, if it's been a few months or something.

I appreciate when he has dinner started when I come home, and say "ooooooo, that was soooo sweet" but in truth, he knows how to make 2 things, and I don't like either.

But, I appreciate he was thinking of me, and eat it and say it was so good.

I'm the worlds worst for remembering dates of any kind. I can barely remember my own birthday. He understands this and every year on the calander marks his birthday for me so I'll remember.

I still can't remember what year he was born in.

My husband is very chivilrious, in the true meaning, and I very much appreciate it, and I go out of my way for him, and enjoy it.

But as far as cards and trinkets....I can't stand that stuff. He's stopped with the trinkets at least.

On my birthday or VD day or whatever, I'll get this card with some long poem in it..mush mush mush....I just sort of look at the inside of the card for about 30 seconds. It's never occured to me to actually read the poem. Then I say "Oh, you're such a wonderful husband! and give him a big kiss" So I guess if being romantic is not calling to his attention I haven't read the inside of a card of his for 15 years, then I'm romantic.

He sends cards to everyone.

I can't figure that out.
