Most women I've dated have been romantic on occasion - usually after we're neck deep in the relationship. What I don't see very often is women being romantic during the courting phase.

sometimes i give them lil gifts, not much, but unexpectedly. one time i gave one a soap, a fancy one and so on, a french one that smelled like honey and said 'honey' too... so i thought would be funny, u know? and sweet at the same time. it was our second date or so, but i liked him, so i wanted to give him something...

he was in such an awe, the look on his face was priceless... lolol.. it was as if he had seen ufos or something... months later he was still telling me about the soap, how he still has it in his car, smelling it up, and how good it smells....

it was as if no one has ever given him something just because. and i was thinking to myself... geez, what women has he been dating????...lol

that was recent. but the one with the ones with the most success were late dinners for a bf... i would wait for him in french corsettes and underwear, girdles and all that, on high heels, and only a shirt on. normally, when he came, we would start from the door and eventually end up under the table in the office room, after being thru the hallways, kitchen, to eat, over and under tables etc.

one of the best encounters was on xmas, when i did the cliche of having on a a new set of golden satin bra and thongs, and with a huge golden bow to match wrapped around my waist. we had 3 days of awesome sex just from that, definitely one of the best nights ever.

i guess it depends what everyone is into, we just happened to be into the same things :)

My experience has usually been smothered and uncomfortable. Or 'great, found another meal ticket'. But not always.

Sorry about that Sandra. My last post was in reference to a question you asked a few pages ago re: do men just feel smothered and uncomfortable. (I'm a newbie...what was your first clue - LOL)

My last g/f couldn't understand affection or romance at all....she couldn't offer what most people would need, love, or at least expressed love with more than words.



Maybe she was never shown love by her parents growing up? Have you asked her? It's very hard for some people to show love and affection if they were never really loved as children by their parents. You'd have to be very patient with people like that and teach them how to love, how to give love and how to accept love. I know what I'm talking about, because I, too, have a hard time showing love. But it's always easier to just dump a person, isn't it, instead of working with them.

Wow!
You boys and girls have given me some eye-poppin' answers and some great ideas too. I was trying to get the male perspective on this whole thing, and it appears there are two types of ya out there!

1) The type that's uncomfortable when your girl tries to actually do something romantic "for you", 'cuase you're soooooo not used to it (need to find better partners LOL), and.....

2) The type that knows romance, what it's all about, is COMFORTABLE with it, and revels in everything it has to offer.

For you #2's out there, any ideas on what you would like to see from use ladies re: romance directed towards YOU????

I'm all "ears" ........
Sandy!

I actually like romancing my guy. But guys like different stuff than women do.

Here are some of the ones I've done that have gone over well with a couple of my ex's. Some of this stuff was meant to be kind of humorous too.

1. Very expensive lobster dinner at the best seafood place in town
2. He was really into astrology so I decorated the room in thousands of glow in the dark stars and even hung them from the ceiling with invisible strings so when you turned the lights off you felt like you were in the centre of a 3D galaxy. (Pot smokers wanted to sleep in our bed).
3. He wanted to do something really unique in the computer room and we had talked about putting up a border made of CDs. He went away on a business trip and when he came back I had tiled the ceiling and 4 walls with CDs so the room looked like a disco ball. Disclaimer: Found out CDs apparently reflect heat from the computers so the room would be 5 degrees hotter than any other room.
4. He was working too hard so I bought a homer simpson mask and dressed up like Homer, jumped in the room screaming "DOH!!!" to break the stress he was under.
5. Rented the honeymoon suite at a hotel (with a jacuzzi room attached!!) and had wine on ice waiting there for us when we arrived.
6. He got a candlelite dinner at least once a week at which time I "tried" to cook
7. I would just buy him funny little cheap things all the time that reminded me of him. I found a little doll in a store that kind of looked like him so I brought it home and painted the face a bit so it looked like a little voodoo doll of him in the end...but it was supposed to be just funny little cute thing.
8. One was the really sentimental type. He found this little squiky toy in the woods that was a baby hippo. He ran across it 3 times in the woods before he finally picked the thing up and decided to bring it home and say how he thought it was weird that he kept running into this same toy while surveying in the woods. The paint was faded, a dog had ripped one of the legs off and left its teeth marks all over the thing. It didn't squeek anymore because of the leg and tooth holes. So I took it, repainted it, used a hot knife to melt the plastic where all the teeth marks were, and put a little minature cast over its ripped off leg. I gave it to him as a present (it squeeked again too!!!). I was over there the other night for a visit and he still has it actually up on a shelf. For some reason he said its one of the favorite gifts he's ever got. Go figure.
9. Full body massage with oils

It's great when they appreciate the things you do for them. Sucks if they don't.

Actually rremember No!

You are right on one point. The girls have no idea on how to romance a man.

But the reason that they have no idea is your second point and you are wrong on that one.


You may believe that romance is a two way adventure. The vast majority of the female population does not. They expect him to romance them and they think that abusing him in return is normal behaviour.

Brief ne

It sickens me to say this but,,,,,,, The only time I've seen women suddenly get romantic is when they have abused him once too often and he's leaving.

Appropiate behaviour, under those circumstances, is for her to offer an apology. What she usually offeres is sex or romance.

Definitely the wrong time for it.

Top question chubby but not one that I can answer so easily.

Mostly because the whole concept of a woman even thinking about romancing a man is so far from the minds of both.

I know of a couple of examples but not very good ones.

I know of one guy who couldnt' take his eyes off the cheer girls at the sporting events. His gf got sick of it and, one night, when he'd settled in to a little TV sport she paraded in wearing her own cheer squad outfit. Highly modified erotic version with cutaways, suspenders and fishnets. She was quite surprised to find him lookig at her the same was as he looked at the cheer girls.

He still eyes off the cheer girls but it doesn't bother her any more.
