Topic: Would you prefer to be romantic or be practical? | |

Right, I get that. However, I can only speak for myself. I'm not a "princess" type of woman, so I can't speak for them. I just hear this from my guy friends who meet those type of women. Me; I am like you and definitely not a princess. I think some guys bring it on themselves. When they feel they need to pay for dates all the time, they're letting the women they're dating feel as though they don't have to pay for anything. Some ladies aren't going to take it well if they're suddenly expected to start paying for things such as vacations. Yep; this is so true. Men can confuse me. They get mad when you won't let them pay for things and then get mad when they do pay for things. Seems you just can't win. |

Communication might help, no?
(I know, I know... that sounds too practical to be romantic ) |

Communication might help, no? (I know, I know... that sounds too practical to be romantic ) Now that would make way too much sense to actually communicate. |

How about camping? That is practical and away more cheaper than going to Tahiti. Not quite as romantic as going to some place exotic like Tahiti though. I'm still curious as to what Dodo considers a practical vacation. Though, I don't think that being cheaper has to mean less romantic. Or that romantic has to mean really expensive. I guess it depends on the person. Some people feel that a tropical Island with a 5 star hotel is romantic whereas they wouldn't find a camping trip very romantic as they aren't getting pampered. |

Funny thing is that I quite enjoy cooking especially outdoors. I went camping with three guys and did all the cooking for the whole weekend. However; they did help with the clean up and showed much appreciation for what I did. |

Well... I concede openly that I ain't normal.
And I'm kinda' happy about that. js. Nevertheless... I just think that if we get stumped by the opposite sex... ask questions, communicate, probe deeper. If they find that all invasive and inappropriate or whatever... if they act like you're moving too fast, thinking too much, you're trying to change me; that's their misunderstandings. It's a matter of trying to learn more about them... not an inquistion/interrogation... though we all come across differently. But it's a good thing, see? They just made our life easier... one less person for us to figure out if "they're the one". jmho. |

I found it romantic if the guy do it by effort not just by money...

You can take it step by step though..not just in one sitting you can know a person better.,sometimes it takes you time to dig deeper. |

Stumbling is what I'm good at and not sure how to change it... so I might as well stick with it, eh? As for digging deeper... um, well... you don't know me so well. Digging is what I do. It's the offence others' take from their perception of my digging that's causing me problems, see? So I'm try to refine those skills. |
