Someone told me once that maybe romance doesn't have to play a role in a good sound relationship after 50... that perhaps just being as comfortable as a warm blanket with someone could be enough. Are we wrong to want the fireworks as well AND be comfy as a warm blanket with that person?

Nope....hate to miss the fireworks while lookin' for a blanket

I want it all!!!

I have warmth, cuddles, companionship from my little Schnauzer. But, he doesn't have the fireworks I want! That's why I'm here.

I've heard that too, and actually there aren't any fireworks with my guy but I do love him

That is so not true,it is never to old to have romance in your relationship,firworks and a warm blanket,I'm so happy that I have it all.

LOL..We need the fireworks as much as we need a blanket, maybe more.
Just because we're this age, doesn't mean it's all over for us!

I am so happy for you...
and am waiting....hopefully with a bright future to come..... for happiness...romance?, fireworks?, warm blanket?

Still waiting....

aww Romance.... it's a lost art, sadly...
People don't want to take the time anymore. Always in a hurry.
What's wrong in wanting to be romanced. Romance is the kindling for the fireworks.... OR is my thinking way off base? My expecations unrealistic?

Even the caveman romanced their woman.... wake up guys...lol get back to your roots...lol

thank u,I hope u found it

Lookee here. After 50 there's every chance of having fireworks like we've never had them before.

Little fear of someone walking in on you.
No fear of unwanted pregnancy.
Reputation is still a factor but doesn't have to be your ruination.
You both know more what to do than you did when you were younger.

This list goes on and on. I feel badly for younger people. No wonder they have to do shooters and get snockered and then they're doing it with one person after the other because no one can get it right! Somebody give them a warm blanket.

WITH OUT ROMANCE, the relationship, won't last, my opinion.
There has to be something to "lite the fire". Romance, foreplay, conversation, IS a MUST. I feel very sorry for anyone that thinks otherwise.

Electric Blanket needed.......after last night. burrrr

Is that your final answer?

Excuse me...I thought we were on a game show for
a moment there.


It's all in the perspective....as long as we are already
off-topic, I intend to take it and run with it.......


OK, you tied your 1968 record low last night at 33 degrees.
So I concur that it was cold for you.


Just thought I'd mention that yesterday in Omaha, the high was
27, the low 14. And I took a child to meet the bus in the morning,
at work, when it was 14 degrees...and my coat was locked up at the other end of the building...so I was in shirtsleeves.

And today, after lunch I strolled the parking lot, also in shirtsleeves....because it was a balmy 38 degrees, and was the high point for the week. I didn't want to miss it. Because Wednesday we are expecting a high of 14, and ice..

I have no problem with cold, nor snow....I do not like ice....
so 38 and sunny was soooo tempting for me today...

Ok....back to the topic of the thread....
I really need that warm blanket, snuggled up against me...
yet it has nothing whatsoever to do with the ambient temp...
My room temp last night was 57, yet I awakened sweating....
It's all about comfort...having that person there, knowing that
no matter what life throws in your path during the daytime...
there is comfort there to restore you at night.

But is that enough?
NO....duh....

I endured a relationship without the fireworks for over
30 years....
would I,
could I,
do it again...
for any reason?

I DON'T THINK SO....
I think I'd rather live on the street....

No...I will never compromise again....it's all or nothing for me.

And that is my final answer....

indeed

Got to have fireworks

I'll take 2 Gyros, 3 cherry bombs and a spinner.

Choice is the one oif the major CONSTANT's in life.

Can you hold your breath?

We CHOSE to breath.

laughing, this sounds like one lively group....

My kind of group.....

I can't imagin being in a relationship (friend or loving) without chemistry, without converstation, without laughter, adventure, debates, practical joking (unmalace)and playfulness... I can't and won't. I mean, what's the point?

To merely take up space? breath someone else's air? hum?

No thank you..

I'm a spicey kind of gal, love to have fun too much... Having a relationship like that being with a zombie, would drive me insane...

so it won't happen...


lol

wrong or not. sinful or not. i want tons of fireworks. not in the least interested in a relationship without a blast.
