so what would you consider romantic? Is it the way you are treated? The little things done? what?

For me, a bit of everything. The little things, a note, email, voicemail, quick phone call, taking the trash out without being asked. Giving me a hand doing something outside, taking a walk in the woods, a drink when I get home from work, but a bit of time to cool off before talking about the day.

Too much for me is when the person wants to laze around in bed, especially in the morning, whining about getting up, or even just me getting up, while animals are waiting to get fed, turned loose, let out, etc. I also get tired of the tub and candles thing. I only rarely do a tub, and even politely mentioning this to the guy gets ignored.

That's a huge question. It can be different for different people as well. For me, it's a combination of little things, plus ... hmmm not necessarily big things but planned things that are all about that other person and not yourself.

so what would you consider romantic?

I can give many examples but this one is shortest to type out :tongue:

Romance is about being sentimental and personal. For example; a girlfriend once caught a cold and was bedridden. So I went to the store and bought a box of Kleenex and carefully opened it from the bottom. Then I gently removed the Kleenex and wrote love notes on around 30 of the Kleenex and then intertwined them with the regular Kleenex at different intervals. Then I put them all back in the box, resealed the box, and gave them to her to use. Of course she didn't know what was inside, and she thought it was just a regular box of Kleenex until she surprisingly pulled out the first love note that I wrote for her... When I came back to check on her 20 minutes later she had pulled all of the Kleenex out of the box, just so she could read all of the love notes laugh Because it was personal and she knew that I was thinking about her, it was romantic to her... Another time (around Easter) she casually told me that she wished that she could just buy a bag of orange jelly beans, instead of the bags that had mixed flavors. So I went to the store and bought around 60 bags of jelly beans and made for her one bag that contained just the orange ones for her... She cried when she saw it laugh When you're romantic you are showing her that you are thinking about her. Being romantic is different for each person. You have to ‘learn’ what they like - and then taylor the romantic event around those things...

that's EXACTLY it!

and providing it isn't done on a too-regular basis, so that it loses its special spell, that's ideal.

Wow, that post hit it right on the head. Quite a good man,,,,

I had an epiphany today. I will probably be alone the remainder of my life because Im just not gonna settle again,,Im too content on my own.

So, Romance,,,is essential for me. If I dont have a partner who is STRONG AND SENSUAL, as well as old fashioned(ROMANTIC) and God fearing,, its just not gonna happen.

Yep, the element of surprise is VERY important! That's why good communication (where you actually listen to what she's saying) is so vital. It's your window into her heart, so your heart can communicate with hers.

Thanks for the kind responses everyone. Truly appreciate it blushing :heart:

No such thing as too much.
Is such thing as too little.
That's just my hunch.
Things a bunch.
This is a crunch.
....thanks for lunch...wow.
