Posted: 4/10/2008 12:53:02 PM | | Where are all the romantic men? I have been dating for the last year and have not received flowers or anything romantic from any of them. Its like we all throw away, men AND women. People dont seem to care about anyone anymore. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 1:00:40 PM | According to what i get so far, Romantic women here are looking for romantic men and can't find one..
Romantic men are looking for women with the same qualities, and can't find one either.
There's a mismatch. Maybe we're all looking at the wrong place? | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 1:08:18 PM | I am a helpless romantic, im in love with love. I don't consider myself very feminie, but since when a female has to be. We are not on the endangered list. Life has taught us to protect our hearts,and not devulge who we are, (that makes us easy targets for heartbreaks). We are out there, happy | |

Romance sells books, movies and television shows, but it's not a really smart way to go about in real life. Be open to the best, be prepared for the worst is better if you're looking to avoid a lot of heartache.
Right on there Betty.
And yet in the same breath I say this...
I haven't been romanced in my life yet
That'd be a fair reason why Im still single 
Edit...hmm...will add the last part of that ^^^ quote.
so it might feel awkward
Yeah...I dont think Id know what Id do ...It'd be...*huh?* lol! | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 2:54:41 PM | | I'm willing to bet that each person has a slightly different definition of romance. I've never been one that liked the whole "chick flick" genre (more of a sci-fi fan) or got into romance novels (though I read just about everything else voraciously). To me, a big part of romance is doing something for my partner with only his pleasure in mind. If it pleases me too, that's great, but it's not imperative by any means. Being thoughtful is a big part of it all. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 3:28:46 PM | I'm feminine but I'm sure I'd be more so if I had the time and the $$, and I'm quite romantic. The trouble is, I've got a soft heart, and I hate to be seen sobbing all over something - like a chick flick or a mushy card. I also don't read romance novels because I much prefer real life to fiction. Real man beats dream man any day.
What am I currently planning for my man (as a SURPRISE!)? A beatiful evening/night at a nice-ish hotel (that I can afford!) with a fabulously sized bathtub (most important feature) and to give him a bath he'll never forget - including a pedicure (dry heels, my poor baby!). Then a rub down with oil once we're out of the bath. Maybe order in some pizza or hot wings to eat in the bed (guy food - you know what they say "the way to a man's heart...").
If I had the $$? I'd fly him around the globe. And yes, I realize that romance has not much if anything to do with the thickness of a wallet - but - if I could - I'd give him the world. I make sure he knows it every day, too. | |

Psssssttttt.....over here!!! hiding behind my tough exterior shell!
How true your statement is! I've always said I'm like a toasted marshmellow - kind of crisp on the outside, but soft, mushy and warm on the inside. I can be very romantic - with the right man. I don't hand over my emotions, heart and soul to just anyone. I am far too sensitive on the inside to do this. I cry at sad and happy endings. A great song will also make get me misty eyed. If I hear a song that reminds me of someone I really care/cared, forget it. If I'm alone, I just give in to it, cry, and then usually end up writing a poem. (Yes, I write poetry also - check out the forums.) Beautiful sunsets touch my heart...if I'm alone and in a pensive mood, that is the time I feel most lonely. So, in answer to the question, yes, I am definitely a romantic.
Bear in mind, however, I do not show this side to the world. Only a select few have seen it. Don't confuse this statement with the belief that I am not open and giving in a new relationship - I am. In my opinion, there is a difference between opening your heart to someone and being romantic with someone. I'm willing to take a chance - I'm just not willing to risk the inner core of who I am on a fly-by-night relationship. I like to save the best for someone very special, and so far, I still have my head in the clouds and I'm dancing in the sky...dreaming....  | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 7:54:09 PM | I'm a huge romantic! Sometimes I fear I'll never meet my match. It seems most guys put on the romance and then drop it cold turkey once they made it past the "woo" stage. I know a lot of girls don't appreciate romance any more (at least my friends dont) but the ones that do seem to never get enough. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 11:22:37 PM | Romantic gestures aren't about money, it helps but that is only a part of it, it is a whole science of its own. Romance should intoxicate and fill the senses, it is visual, physical, musical, textual, fills the senses and escalates sexual tension to where passion just bursts through unrepressed. God some recipes are a turn on!
Romance can be as simple as a post-it-note in the lunchbox. A pressed flower or clover glued to the inside of a card. A hand massage, an offer to brush her hair. It is the simple unexpected pleasure that picks one's partner up with a gesture of care.
Where are these women? It is in every, woman when you make her feel special.
Sometimes some of us need to drop the hints on the ways someone can please us, sometimes in doing so, we discover things we can note to do for them at the same time.
I believe there are men, who like to be romanced every bit as much as women. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 6:36:03 AM | I'm a romantic in the sense that I cry at touching moments in movies or in books, but when it comes to real life...not so much.
I love reading the deep, soulful words of a man in love in a book, but to be honest, if a REAL person said those exact same words, I'd think there was something wrong with him. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 7:41:57 AM | | I am with NOTINIT4 . I cry at sappy movies, even the ones that aren't meant to be sappy. I.E. 300. I give my heart freely even when starting a new relationship. I want a man to not have any of those mixed signals. Know that I am truely interested in bonding with him. More often than not my heart gets left behind in the dust. The other times not just being left behind, but getting used. Of course I am a smart girl, I know when this happens. It only happens once or not at all before I give up and leave the relationship. Wearing my heart on my sleeve is the chance I am going to have to take. I want my equal counterpart. Not every man out there is meant to be my counterpart. I know this, but I cannot change who I am and what I want in a partner. If the man is not chivilrous and does not understand my level of intimacy than it is only obvious that he is not meant to be mine, he is meant for another. I cannot get angry at him for that.I can only wish that he find his counterpart, and I can only wish that one day I will meet my counterpart. Don't get me wrong, I do not believe in soul mates. I believe in likenesses.These things I like to find out after of course the initial attraction. Are we equally wanting, intellegent, are there enough comparible differences and likenesses that would keep us together, without getting bored with each other. Are we going to annoy each other. Do we have the same kind of life in mind. There could be several matches out there, the issue is finding the one that you thinks fits you the best. I do not let my past experiences judge my future experiences. I let my heart hang out there and just keep on keeping on untill I match someone. I hope that fully answers the OP's question. I am still here and there are many other ladys out there who are as equally feminine as they are romantic. Romanticism is not dead. I mean that were true, if romanticism were dead even the movies that make so many of us romantics cry, would vanish due to the lack of revenue they produce. I do not see that happening anytime soon. I hopes this answer your question. Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause. Okay, okay that last line was completely false but I thought it fit well here. To add to that Yes OP females are still romantic. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 9:16:28 AM | | There is a romantic in just about every woman. Of course its up to us to cultivate it before we can expect it to be an alacrity. Never forget that sometimes some folks just don't want to be romantic...with us. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 10:24:33 AM | I'm a hope (less,ful) romantic.. love to be feminine and get dressed all girly, but can also be happy playing in the dirt doing tomboy things.
It's funny, i was just having a conversation about this yesterday with a male friend.. seems he was under the idea that romance means buying things.. flowers, candy.. etc.. My idea of romance is.. little notes left, just because, a cute little text message, a look that sends shivers down your spine, a soft word whispered in my ear..
It's not about money.. it's about a feeling! Just my 2 cents.  | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 10:42:08 AM | I'm not the least romantic. Sitting on the couch cuddling would smother me. I don't sleep well and someone jammed right next to me would drive me batty. I like taking showers alone. A person calling 10 times a day "just to hear my voice" would irritate me to no end. A person gazing deeply into my eyes makes me uncomfortable. I really dislike spit in my ear. And to top it all off, if I'm really distracted, I sometimes even forget to say "I love you".
But, I never, ever, under any circumstances, forget how dear and wonderful a guy who might be in my life is, and absolutely nothing could ever tempt me to dishonor him or our relationship. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 10:49:28 AM | its not that they are an endangered species... is that men take advantage of that to get what they want.
Many females want to feel pampered and special, but guys tend to play that romantic role wayyyy more just to get in our bed... after that is done they leave and never come back... so many females do decide to give that romantic side of them to someone that is worthy of seeing it :) | |
