It's a lost art of a sort. Besides that what is romantic and chivlrous to one person and between two people is between them and not for anyone else to judge whether it is or is not romantic and chivlrous. You do your thing and I'll do mine. The topic of this thread is "How romantic are you", it's not "Pass judgement on other people's definition of romance".

Well said VT. I couldn't agree more.

My wife thinks its romantic when i wash my Glass instead of leaving it dirty in the sink for her to deal with .
She thinks its even more romantic when i wash it without breaking it

I try to let her sleep in and not wake her up until I have to.
If I wake her up, I try to wake her up with kisses.
If she is sleeping and I need to work downstairs, I leave her a note telling her where I am.
I leave her visitor reps.
I talk to her, and often.
I make sure she knows I love her by my words and deeds.

This is just normal behavior to me...

I can be, but not in the usual recognition of the word.
I hate poetry, flowers, hearing someone is honoured to make my acquaintance, I loath flowery speech and "othering" me into a Lady of the Castle type bullshit.
I like people taking the piss, teasing, being a smart ass, offering to do things for me (like fix my computer/website/bike/pick up groceries/take me to an appointment) and maybe insisting a bit as I'll likely say no first round because I don't want to be seen as weak and I have to know that they are sincere in their offer.

I like people that do things to help me out, rather than buy me gifts or say shit. Make me laugh, buy me a drink and hang out, make me laugh some more, don't treat me with gentle gloves, treat me like a real friend. An equal with different talents. Ask me to help you too.

a romantic friendship with emphasis on friendship. Not on romance.

Some people like touch, words and gifts. That's not me. I like actions and laughter. See me for me. See me as capable enough to take a hard ribbing. If you see me wearing my reading glasses, which I HATE then tease me about them "hey four eyes how about a blow job, now that you can tell the difference between my leg and my dick?"

I love ice cream. take me for one when I'm really stressed out. shag me in an ally while making me hold it. Or something.

I dunno, things that just make me laugh and enjoy making me laugh. That really is a big part of it.

As for me being romantic towards other... I've heard my vagina is very romantic.

as I leave you to go home, I pass by your truck and leave a lip print on your driver door window.

It will make you smile later

I am a romantic. We write notes to each other back and forth when he is doing homework. We keep them in a notebook to have them to look back on in the future. We hold each other very close to talk, about most everything, it is the most romantic gesture I've ever experienced. We post music for each other. We dance spontaneously when hugging sometimes. We hold hands. He takes my arm when walking at night, and most everywhere, but especially at night. We never part or go to sleep without saying I love you. We talk and each of us listens to the other. We are considerate of the other.

He wakes me with love and kisses. He tells me oh how I love you with so much emotion behind it I tear up every single time. He tell me he has me always. His eyes shine with such enthusiasm when he looks at me and speaks to me. He uses such loving tones and if he thinks his tone was, off as he says, he will tell me he didn't mean it that way. He tells me, and means it, that he will love me no matter what comes our way and that after waiting 12 years he is not about to give up...gawd I love this man! He is a loving, kind and gentle soul without guile.

He cooks and cleans up after himself, too! I have it all!

OMG! Laughed so hard reading this! A friend of mine in Dallas, our usual hello to each other was, "Hey, Cutie, wanna fuck?" No matter how bad the day's events were, it was great for a smile.
