Posted: 4/15/2008 6:29:00 PM | | Gdp1953, I think a bunch of us Aussie girls are considering relocating to Ohio, I didn't think men liked things like that. I read at first, thinking the list was the things she did for you - what an eye opener, these were the things you did for her. I am stunned, I guess you won't be on here for long. How do mums produce sons like you? | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 8:26:13 PM | I am more likely to make a million small gestures than a grand romantic gesture; I notice something that is unique to him or to his needs. Give space, write notes, really say hello and good-bye... I buy flowers from time to time and booze and cream for his coffee. I definitely lean a little more to the 'useful' things than the frivolous, or things I think he wouldn't do/get/be for himself but would enjoy. I'll take him out for dinner 'just because' far more often than I would think of making an occasion of it and I always have my eye out for a book he might like. But is this romantic
I am exactly like this. Occasionally I make the grand big romantic gesture, but most of mine is done in this manner. I don't know if it's romantic or not. But I do think it should tell them you think of them, and care about them all the time.
I'm definitely a femmie. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 8:35:22 PM | This entire site is a fantasy, and therefore, draws the ones prone to it.
I am sure there are plenty of female romantics, as is the proven existence of male romantics.
The rest of us get our souls sucked dry early on by women, and tend to be somewhat more hesitant to do THAT much work again.
Work on reality first. A strong NORMAL real life foundation with a gal.
If it lasts more than 6 months, THEN throw some time into the worthwhile stuff.
Life and relationships are investments. You get back what you put into it, and what comes around goes around. I don't rent a car for $20,000 only to pay $500,00 in the beginning for it......... | |

The last I heard Ohio isn’t even close to exceeding it’s quota for lovely Aussie ladies so please consider this my personal invitation. Lol. The first 20 yrs of my 30 yr marriage were almost like a fairy tale … I couldn’t have asked for any more. While the list I provided were all things I did for her, she also had a very similar list of things she did for me. Unfortunately people change & the last 10 yrs of my marriage became very difficult. She got tangled up in addictions & while I stubbornly refused to let go, I eventually had to decide whether or not to join her in her downward spiral or move on. Thankfully I chose the later. I wish I had as much confidence as you regarding my chances of meeting someone new. My experiences over the past 2 yrs would seem to indicate different. But that doesn’t mean I have given up hope or stopped looking. It just means I’m better prepared if it doesn’t happen.
As far as your question about producing sons. I remember hearing a quote once that reminded me of my son. It went like this …
“You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.”
-Walter M. Schirra

Posted: 4/16/2008 10:24:27 PM | | A B&B get away? How about a "couple's massage" in there too. It has been offered to me. And it is a good idea. Don't listen to those "nays". Do it. Do it. Do the B&B. | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 12:12:29 AM | You bet female romantics, still exist, just as I am sure it exists in males. Just how feminine or masculine the parties are, is subjective.
The main ingredient however, is having a partner you truly love and want to be with. To be romantic with someone you have no feelings for, is simply being dishonest and misleading.
Romance was, is and always will be, one of the main ingredients to any successful relationship. | |

Romance is orchestrated in order to support feelings of love. It is a way of behaving that creates an environment conducive to bonding between two people. There are some elements of romance that are fairly generic (candles, music, etc.), and there are some elements of romance that are specific to the parties involved (special remembrances, uniquely desired "favors," etc.).
Players can use romance to create an environment that supports "loving" feelings for selfish purposes. Romance does not always include real love.
Gary, in message #62, listed acts of love he did for his wife. As we can see from his post, loving someone includes elements of romance. True love that lasts a lifetime always includes romance. In real love, the acts of romance nurture the love.
Given this perspective of romance, I think it is safe to say that everyone who wants a loving relationship also wants romance. Anyone capable of love, in his or her own way, is a romantic. The trick is to find the person who will romance us in the way that touches our heart. When that happens, we want to romance back. As long as we can keep heart-felt, romantic interactions going, the relationship is likely to endure. | |
