nameit4me: It seems like most of the woman that Ive dated recently would rather hang out at a hole in the wall bar and get stupid drunk than have any kind of a real romance. If thats what I wanted it would be great for that night but what about romance? Im an old school romantic people, please renew my faith that Im not alone!
True romance doesn't die out. So let me ask you something when you are dating these women do you both decide where to go? How much time are you investing in talking to them and finding out their interests before going out? Set a lunch date with one of these girls. You set the tone not her by leading her into some romance. Perhaps go against type if you have a type that is and ask someone out you wouldn't normally ask out. Become good friends with a woman first then you can find out what she is like. If she will go hiking, to book stores, sit by the fire at home and seems more interested in being with you than in what you are both doing. Even laundry can be great if you are with the right person. Just some ideas. Don't stop being who you are you can't anyway right use your romantic ways to woo women find some interesting places and activities to do that don't include bars or alcohol.
It depends on what a person thinks of as romantic.... and what stage a relationship is at.
A first date with someone you only know slightly or from on line... yes, I expect good manners and consideration... but if he has created one of those rooftop dinners with candles and flowers.... well to be honest I´m going to be a bit uncomfortable... unless we have that incredible chemistry...
I like the little spontaneous gestures that let you know a person listens to what you say and thinks about you. One of the most romantic things a guy ever did for me was to get a couple pictures of my grandparents framed for me... I´m always running around and never seem to have time to do stuff like this and had made a comment about really wanting to get it done. I was so shocked and surprised when I came home one night and found them. That´s romantic!

True romance can be in the little things exactly. Keying into the dates personality. Romance is about touching the other person's soul a bit. That can be done in a small gesture, a creative way such as the pictures or in a grand way. It depends on the person you are wooing.
ROMANCE IS NOT DEAD!!!! i am one of the few remaining "hopless romantics" left and i take great pride in that fact!!! but it seems the romantic guys always wind up alone are there any hopless romantic ladies out there???? if so...here i am
Nope it's not dead...I am extremely romantic and so is my sweetheart....romance doesn't have to be anything big...but the small things you do to show your partner how much they are loved and appreciated....but done completely out of love not obligation or with a goal in mind....

Speaking of "hole in the wall bar" and not wanting that type of romance. Has anyone notice his picture? He is in a bar I think either as a bartender or a customer!

Romance dead?? I think it is, pretty much. Certainly over here in the UK. Wouldn't give an Englishman house room, to be frank!!
Many moons ago, there were, say, three things that England could be proud of and for which was much envied...
The judiscial system The educational system The English gentleman
Nowadays... none of them really cut the mustard, in my view...
What say the fellas from other parts of the world?

Well I haven't seen it too alive and kicken here either...I just happen to be lucky enough to meet a real sweetheart who is just as romantic as I am...and he's not from here!!!!!!!!

.................Well to be honest that was taken at a B-day party and there was drinking involved. Guess that doesn't help my case much does it! I'm not saying I want a woman that doesnt drink or go out. I'm just looking for a woman that enjoys a night of candles and rose petals as much as Cuervo and Jager-Bombs
