Dawn7z: That is quite romantic on both your part. It is getting joy from another and sometimes that will lead to those "love" feelings deepening. We want to be "seen" and "known" in a world that is constantly making us feel that we aren't special so yeah sometimes with we women the simple paying attention to the things we like is much more romantic than a bouquet of roses.


Definitely... the fact that someone listens and remembers... I do put a lot of value on gifts... not their monetary value but in how much it reflects a persons knowledge of you, that they have listened to little comments, that is truly romantic.

rizlared: Hi JB

The spontaneity in writing a love letter is that its your thoughts then and there, yes if you sit and write until it sounds right the spontaneity has gone, but when you have been chatting to someone all evening finally say goodnight and then immediately write her a letter, then that is both spontaneous and romantic.

But the book thing is also very lovely



I´m good with this when things have reached a level that both people are committed to a loving relationship...prior to that, in the beginning stages, it would make me really uncomfortable.

I like to think I'm a romantic person but it has to be with the right woman.

A romantic lover should seek to serve his/her beloved, unconditionally, with no expectation of getting anything in return.

huhanna: hey phaed . . i'm a woman and i'm not romantic . .

think i'm way too pragmatic and down to earth to be romantic . . .

i guess it does depend on how one defines romanticism but if we're talking about the conventional idea of romance . . then nope . . not me.

and i know quite a few other women who feel the same way . .

so us non-romantics definitely exist . .


What elements of romanticism do you see yourself not subscribing to, H? What does it mean to love someone in a practical way (assuming you believe that's possible)?

I like romance, but I'm not much into the poetry thing or listening to music. I would much rather have a private table for two, slow dancing in the moon light, laughing at private jokes, and if a man can really hug and kiss....hmmmm heart beating Lets see, where was I now. confused

I love the idea of romanticism but in reality I find I never respond well to it.
Although I'm horrid and highly cynical.

I mean.... anyone that ever behaved romantically towards me had unsavory motives. I find it hard to believe that people are romantic selflessly.

I do like people who are polite and thoughtful but over sensitive types don't really do it for me, for some reason.

Maybe it's because I'm Irish and we don't have emotions, we drink them all away!

I never expect anything in return, I do things for a partner because I want to.

You are hilarious and I think that when something is overly done a lot of us women have a hard time believing it or we out and out laugh. Don't think it's just an Irish thing but I know that I enjoy the Irish posters.hug thumbs up rolling on the floor laughing
