Does romance have to have a price tag?

Funny, Crazy, I always picture you in that dress, and it is VERY glam - hard to think of you any other way.


Chrome, oh boy. I'll be drummed out of CS for subverting male members.

RE: A blog for men.

Zigackly. I just got a gift from an old beau at a time when he had a lot of very complicated issues in his life and I'd have expected be the very last thing on his mind. Unexpectedly touched.

Er, being unexpectedly touched in a more real sense is also rather fun ...

Chrome, have I created a monster?

Crazy, yup, he will never hear Rod Stewart again without remembering you.

I have no idea whether I have conditioned anyone - would be nice to think so.

RE: A blog for men.

No complaints here. I am hugely relieved to have the knotty wine problem taken care of.

RE: A blog for men.

Haha I do like liquorice wrapped in sherbet fountains. Are you too much of a purist for those?

I reminded myself of the easiest and cheapest romantic gesture of all on another blog - music.

Finding songs you both react to, and making them your theme-tunes, wow, that's powerful.

And let's face it, if you hate everything he likes, and vice versa, now's a good time to find out you're not compatible ...

My husband introduced me to the Moody Blues, so ANY song by them reminds me of him. And I went from indifferent to Queen to loving them because of a man.

Not just romance, of course. Some songs will instantly transport you through space and time to happier / sadder / more innocent times.

haha well the fact that he likes things just right is a major compliment to you

RE: A blog for men.

Haha I am priceless

If I see something I KNOW he likes I will buy it and take it along the next time I see him. Actually, that's rather the way I like my gifts - spontaneous, not thought out

Lucy whispering is very romantic that warm breath on your ear, the sense that the world is shut out ... especially if what he is saying is cheeky and you have to keep your face completely calm and mildly interested while you are curling up inside ..

Mmm.

RE: A blog for men.

Actually I do often take gifts. Am I weird?

Does romance have to have a price tag?

Ouch.

RE: Do you have regrets?

I did something brave because I thought I would regret it if I didn't. I will probably regret for the rest of my life that I did - but who knows? In a few more years hindsight may kick in. It certainly changed my life and the old one was pretty dull and safe and BORING.

Lucy, I think we've been slightly brainwashed into believing it is something that must be bought. Don't get me STARTED on Valentine's Day!

There is still romance in proposing, some people do find great ways. This is sooooooooo OTT but one of my favourites:



still, been done now. Can't repeat it!

In fact I briefly dated a guy who thought I would find it romantic to be scared nearly to death by an unexpected display of jealousy and posturing. Yikes. No!

Romantic is a tough concept.

Reminded of that old joke, and I KNOW most of you know it - I've posted it before, so have others -

when I bring you breakfast in bed, it is enough to say thankyou.

None of this 'how did you get into my house' malarkey.


Okay, maybe I wouldn't want to be THAT surprised ...

Berry, not Berrie. Sorry. Believe it or not, still not fully woken, I am so not a morning person.

Does romance have to have a price tag?

Berrie - and you'll never forget it. That's EXACTLY the stuff!


Ha on your second example, I missed my date yesterday!

Does romance have to have a price tag?

I've had a blissful lie-in this morning, which has nothing whatsoever to do with romance and everything to do with the almost forgotten luxury of sleeping until I wake up - somehow weekends just fly by, I hate this working-full-time stuff.

However now I do have to go to work. Bummer. I'll think of more examples, I can't believe in a website crammed with people looking for love we haven't enjoyed special moments that cost nothing but thought and a little effort.

And now to add the romance?

RE: "CANT LOSE WHAT YOU NEVER HAD"

Well my conscience is clear so if I'm on your list it was my mistake, not my intention?

I don't ALWAYS have something to say (believe it or not ) and haven't sent any friend requests.

We 'tecs gotta stick together, mate.

RE: Bug a Salt

Ha! The great salt massacres!

RE: Happy Birthday Minerva!!!

CH, er, no -

I'll send her a Scotsman! She'd like that! Trouble is, only one I know I think I'd like to keep

RE: Happy Birthday Minerva!!!

Posting on both blogs to be on the safe side, no reply needed Minerva, hope it has been a lovely day

RE: Minerva's day

Happy birthday, will also post on Crazy's blog hope it has been a sun-filled happy day!

Fraya, ta and you are so on form, love your sense of fun

Fraya, guessing you just lost a few Canadian and South African admirers

Ah, what the hell. The Canadians slept through the whole blog. And it's nearly 02h00 in SA

Oops. Just checked that on Google. Er, I meant the equivalent of voetsek. Not the other meanings.

(I've been saying that for YEARS. Yikes)
