How romantic are you?

[Kätzchen]

I like the idea of romance but I don't subscribe to motions of romantic endeavors most people consider romantic.

And I guess I will leave it at that for now because I keep things of that nature fairly private, nowadays.

But I do enjoy romance, I really do. : )

Really?

Aren't you the one who suggested dancing in the living room with your honey even if you can't dance (see the "What TO DO in a relationship" thread)?

Methinks there's a romantic bone or two in you, JD.

I am very affectionate, extremely solicitous, very tactile and loving...but the gifts and candlelight dinners with lots of meaningful stares and frought silences kind of romance just puts me on edge. Soooo uncomfortable for me. I'll actually take a passionate debate over that kind of romance any day. lol

I'd say I'm fairly romantic

Depends on what you think romance is....

If dancing is romantic, guilty

If sitting on the beach and talking is romantic.... guilty

If if is the fact that I love romantic proposals.... guilty again

I think that is as far as it goes with me and typical romance.

I don't like receiving flowers (unless from my kids for a mother's day, etc) or if they are hand picked - why waste money on something that is going to die?

What is romance? I think that something I would find romantic just might be something another would not find romantic.

For the most part, I like the simple things..... oh, plus gold and diamonds, I like gold and diamonds too.

Romantic? What is that?

No I am not. My idea of romance is on the practical side the things you can only do if you know someone. Thing that needs to done but they have no time to do it. So I do so Little insignificant things, the laundry done, a favorite meal or a movie I don't love but that's okay, or washing the car. Those are the same things that mean something to me. Flowers are nice in my yard so make sure they can be planted, chocolates no unless you know my brand, Valentines day? Well just no, just don't. I am good with that.

I think it has to be individual for each person, My uncle made sure my Aunt never touched a gas pump from the day they married till the day she died. That was romantic and she damn well knew it. He never had to make a meal, or a snack, she made sure he was as well taken care of as she was. It wasn't expensive or elaborate but always considerate and thoughtful.

The whole of the family made fun of the connection they had but none of them ever had anything that could compare in the lives they lead.

Romance is indeed very different for everyone. I like to believe I am romantic in many different ways, both traditional and non-traditional.

When we are walking into a building, I open the door for her. If we are stepping off the train I let her go first. I show up at her work on my lunch break just to deliver surprise flowers to her for no reason other than to show her I appreciate her.

I do other things too, I buy her dinner. I buy her surprise random gifts like skirts, video games, and anything else I think she might like. I encourage her, support her and appreciate her.

I think everyone is romantic in some way, it's just a matter of how.

I'm still this way. I'm not really interested in the typical notions most people deem as romantic. What's romantic to me is being level headed, slow to anger, sane, being able to carry yourself with diplomacy, having a wicked sense of humor during an exceptionally tense moment in life.. This caliber of personality is what I think is incredibly romantic (and sexy).

Flowers are nice, but what moves me romantically is generally not the flowery stuff in life.

Oh I'm a romantic Devil!

I am not the kiss and tell type, and I would never post anything on my profile, "not that there is anything wrong with that", Just isn't my style!

[Gayandgray]

Meh.....Not very.
