I agree with you ladies entirely! It's those little things...

Romance is also subjective, what I think is romantic is not necessarily what another person would. I mean, if a guy brought home a shiny new techy toy for me just because he saw it and thought I'd love it. Adn encouraged me to do the little things that make me happy or takes me out to get a new hat because I love hats.... That's perfect. But not every girl is into what I am. I think it's also someone finding the stuff that YOU love.

Flowers and candy aren't the only thing that that are romantic!


Yup, that's what I meant. Romance should be tailored to the individual. Me, flowers make me sneeze, I see nothing romantic in that at all laugh If a person is thinking of you, and who you are, and does something that reflects that, it's romantic.

My boyfriend knows I hate, hate, hate (with a passion) hate vacuuming. He does it 90% of the time, no questions asked. To me, that says volumes!

Exactly Suz!

My ex was told by a girl that we hate getting flowers and I was appalled! I made sure he knew that not EVERY girl likes flowers, but some girls do and it's important to know your girls favourites. And not just flowers, all those little things that you prefer SHOULD be known by a man who loves you. And not because it's a rule, but because he cares to know it!

I got a yellow rose the next time I saw him. (Not a dozen because he knew I'd have a hard time getting that home on the train.)flowerforyou

Last time I met someone new, I was out of town. The night we met, he gave me a CD with a bunch of songs on it, because he knew I didn't have any music with me to listen to. Things like that are awesome.

To have sex with a woman. What can be more romantic than this? Men and women are different. We have different hormones inside us that trigger different desires and romantisms.


This is one of the most dumbazzed postings that I have ever seen.

Personally, the most romatic gesture to me is having her reach out to me sometimes, maybe i'm sitting watching tv and she sits next to me and grabs my hand, or I'm sitting on the front porch and she walks up behind me and puts her hands on my shoulders.

To me thats romance.. someday perhaps someone will show me that.

It was noted that during the 16 years of my marriage, that I never once entered a room that Bob was in that he didn't acknowledge me. Perhaps just a glance, small smile lighting his beautiful face or a brushing of fingertips against whatever he could reach. I was aware of this but very touched when someone else commented on it after his death. Talk about romance, a small but ever consistent showing of pleasure that I was back in his sight.

I miss him everyday, his birthday and our anniversary should have been this month...July is hard for me still.

In general though, I agree with so many of you - the small things that show you are thought of are always romantic.

SEX IS NOT ROMANTIC FYI


of course sex is not romantic for women. most women do not want sex at all, they just pretend they do just to keep their men close.


Who the heck told you THAT? Some of us are VERY sexual, and like it very frequently. I would submit to you that you might want to focus a little more on your partner's needs, rather than being so caught up in your own, and you might find that a lot more of your partners do indeed enjoy sex. Obviously, I don't know you, and can't know for certain that you are a selfish lover, but based on the content of your very few posts in this forum, I don't think it's too big of a stretch to reach that conclusion...

Ed, considering his earlier response to you, I am really amazed by your kindness. You are such a wonderful person, and your wife was lucky to have you. flowerforyou

I agree with this. When you've been with a person for many years, you tend to take things like this for granted, until it's gone. Then those are the things in particular that you miss the most.

Romantic things I have done for my lady.

Gotten up 2 hours before I needed to so I could: Iron her clothes, made her and her son's lunches, made them breakfast, made coffee, cleaned the apartment, shoveled the snow from our door to her car, got all the snow off of her car, warmed up her car, gassed up her car, got them both up for school and work, and then out the door.

That was all in one day, and I did it everyday for 4 months while I was looking for work. Six months after our divorce she finally said thanks.

Normally: Open every door(car, buildings), non-event gifts, calls to her home phone saying sweet things when I know she's out, massages( I was a massuer, I give GREAT rubs :wink: ), unexpected errand runs, never forgetting any bday of her families', etc...

You sound indeed to be a sweetie, naturally romantic. Just one comment though, the opening every door thing...I have been seeing a man who does that, often I find it annoying (perhaps I am a very strange women)It is one thing if it is natural and convenient but at times when I run into the store (for example) he need not get out of the car upon my return to open my door. I often feel like saying (ok screaming) I can do it myself! When everyone stops laughing perhaps others have had similar experiences where niceness can actually be taken overboard????

when he's not trying to be romantic. romance for me is about being able to see the small things, noticing etc.
