Jeans52: Some of those little things are exactly the types of things I'm talking about
when it comes to romance. Obviously you appreciate them but I know lots of women
that don't get it. Most the women I meet seem too practical and less romantic
in their behavior and ideas. Maybe it's just slowly dying. I know that having negative
reactions at my attempts at romance has definitely soured me towards even bothering
with romance at all. I think fast paced living and stress has destroyed it myself.

I really dont think there are many women that dont want romance. If they dont its probably because they are angery and scared of being mislead and hurt again. They dont want to have to ask a man for romance, or nag about every thing the man should or shouldnt be doing...But there isnt many guys around that are quick to tell their true feelings anymore because they are scared of being tricked into believing the woman really does care and doesnt just want money or sex.
Depends on what your idea of ROMANCE is. If you think its going out for a dinner or drinks and laying on the compliments, that isnt really that romantic, that is pretty plain and ordinary.
Maybe if some of you guys were a little more creative or in the ways you express yourselfs then women would return the favour.
Women dont appriciate romance?!! thats crazy... Maybe they want to actually feel special and not just another girl that buddy layed on the lines and *romatic dates* to every other girl that came along before her.

I'm an old fashioned romantic.
And I keep the romance going all through the relationship.

I love little romantic gestures done at random times... just to show that I care, and that I'm thinking of her.

But I have noticed that a lot of women these days don't really appreciate romance anymore. They seem to act like it's a waste of time. Or as if it's being used to "suck up". :(

OP...that is soooo not true. There are plenty of romantic women out there...of course everyone's definition of romance is a little different...he11, I thought it was romantic when an ex of mine simply put his hands on the sides of my face, looked me dead in the eyes and told me how beautiful he thought I was....mind you, we were playing paintball, and I was wearing camo and I was covered in dirt and paint, lol! I guess it was just one of those moments....

I do think that if you try the romantic gestures on someone who isn't as into you are you are to them....it won't seem as appreciated, because it probably won't have the desired affect....just my .02

wel if you equate romance with getting drunk at parties and men slobber all over you while constantly fawning...youre right, not a lot of women interested ...

but they dont confuse such antics romantic

It appears as though this is a gross generalization.

Seems only looks like appears, in a case of apparent similarity, or at least that's how it looks to me. It seems.


Women no longer like men's version of romance. They like the Hollywood version of romance, which is entirely about women and none about men.

how do you know the mail order bride won't use it against you?

don't lose hope in women just because you're last three disappointed you. what is up with that..just generalising "why is it that WOMEN...not "why is is that the last three women I dated"

i'm romantic and i'm sure plenty of other women are also romantic..

but go ahead get that mail order bride...

i myself love it but there is a huge difference between romance and being smoothering or too much too soon.....If i dated you once and you told me everyday after that you missed me, blah blah blah, thats too much too soon.

I am very romantic and the last 3 women, well, they just used my romance against me. I am seriously considering a mail order bride




don't give up hope, there ARE women out there who enjoy romance as much as you. I've found mine after god knows how many bad findings I've had. Sometimes it takes alot of wrong to find the right!

thisgirlismissingonething........I totally agree with you.......I have always dreamed of a guy to be romantic.....I finally met one in 2000......we lived 200 miles apart.....we dated for 10 months and then finally moved in together.....I noticed the unusual "overly" romantic ways about him (we would talk on messenger and for hours he would say over and over how much he loved me), just brushed it off to being so far apart.....after moving in with him, started to see his "overly romantic ways".......he left notes all over house every day, emailed at least 3-4 times everyday, bought me cards almost everyday, wanted to dance to one song almost everynite (mind you, we had 6 kids between us LOL).......it was starting to get old, and didnt mean as much......so, when he noticed I didnt respond in the ways he wanted (after about a year), he started getting frustrated.......he would get mad at me because I wasnt offering things "the way he wanted it".....I did these things but way less often than him.......it finally got to the point, that I became bitter because all he was doing was complaining about what I "wouldnt do" and not seeing "what I did do".........So, it is true that everyone has a different view on what level of romanance is best for them.........I love it, but TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH........maybe he was a psycho LOL I dont know......I guess some people just need it more than others.

What's romance?
nice words written or said? being treated well? being told you are being thought of in an email...actions , not words? gestures?


It seems along time ago (if ever) that I can't remember or don't know what it is anymore

It seems like the women who desire a romantic man go for the opposite, and the women who dislike it get the romantics. At least from what Ive seen in this thread.

Im a believer in romance. I think it can and still does exist, and that its a vital part of making a relationship last. The hard part is finding someone who is receptive, because in my experiences I havent found too many ladies who truly are.
