So perhaps the romance is still there but sometimes the perception of it is a little out of focus?
How does this differ from how men see romance? Would a huge platter of short ribs (coming from a vegetarian this would be impressive!!!) and being left alone to watch the Sunday football game on TV cut it? Or is there something else?
This is the kind of stuff that I'm talking about - there is some thought involved in it - he is thinking of you. Then doing these things because he knows you'll appreciate them.
Is it really that simple? Seems to me that there are some who are confused with what to do when approaching a door at the same time as a woman - this has already been pointed out here. I'll be the first to say that I am an independent woman - but I do appreciate a door being opened for me, or helped on with my coat, or a man choosing to walk closest to the traffic when walking beside me down the street. These things are not necessarily romantic but they are gentlemanly (is that a word?). Perhaps romance and being romantic is a lost art.
With the romantic things, is this something that you guys think we should be telling you that we like? Or is it something that you can guage by our reactions as to how much it was appreciated? Perhaps we are giving off mixed signals?
It's not my place to judge someone else's decisions. You have made a decision and were lucky enough to find a good home for your cat. As a responsible pet owner that's a good thing - how many pets have been abandoned?
I'm just saying that for myself - it is a package deal.
If it got to the point that I felt I had enough money to 'afford' getting an old T-bird for myself - there would already be a pile of money been given to charity and a wildlife rehabilitation center up and running.
Just to cover the bases - my family would all be taken care of and likely as not they would be spoiled rotten!
The situations could likely be dealt with - to use your examples, the dog could undergo some remedial training - although maybe the dog is picking up something about that person that I need to be aware of and is being protective of me....just saying....
They have allergy medications for people.
Can't really see (at least for myself) where a cat and fish would interfere with a life-choice as in relocation - but, whatever, if a decision was made to move - it would be automatic for me to include my pets with me. The SO/lifemate would already know this.
It's not a question of them being inferior to the pets. My pets are an important part of my life and my SO/lifemate should understand that. They could try demanding I get rid of the pets - but that won't happen. It would be more likely that things would never get very far with a man who didn't at least appreciate them being around. JMO
I don't think I have an absolute favorite - it's more a question of being in the right company for a song to 'take effect'. I love to dance and sometimes even a good two step with the right partner.....
