Pelle Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 From Dante's thread about sending flowers I'd like to see how many on here that consider themselves as romantic or not. Would you do special things for your beloved without any particular reason at all? Do you believe in eternal love and all that comes with it? I have to say I would and I am a romantic person. Just haven't had someone to express that to in a long time. Unfortunately that means that I sometimes show it to my mistress or whatever I should call her and that might send the wrong signals. Although she knows what I'm looking for so she doesn't expect this to last forever anyway. But that wasn't the point. And I made a poll out of it, just for all those who loves polls, like Rob.

MrWeedMcGrass Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I used to be romantic like 10 years ago, dumb teenager that I was. After having been dumped by my first ex I have become a cynical old git. Now romance makes me feel like throwing up. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCLaura Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I wouldn't want my man to be 'overly' romantic, like a girl. Romantic, definitely. Just at that happy, acceptable, romantic male level. Possible double standards Maybe. Who said a man can win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 it's quite simple this romance lark when you met them you do nice things , say nice things , buy them flowers etc once you are married you just become a bit meh and tell them they are getting fat etc but to answer the question seriously I guess my answer would be "sometimes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCLaura Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 There is a fine line, I'm a pretty headstrong girl, I'm not a 'call 20 times a day' type and I don't like wasting my time, I'm not clingy, or obsessive, or needy or all those things usually associated with a very romantic person. I just know how to some someone that I love them, with dignity & credibility. And I think there's nothing better than to do so - and get shown back.

Pelle Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hm, so one of my dreams, getting married, is really something I should try to avoid? :? If you weren't cynical before, reading this site would do the trick. And yes, obsessive is one thing, romantic another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWeedMcGrass Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 clingy, or obsessive, or needy The three characteristics I absolutely cannot stand in a woman. Expressing affection is nice done in genuine , non overbearing and classy manner. The ones that need comforting all the time and are overly sensitive are the kind to watch out for. They are nothing but trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWeedMcGrass Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Most male/sports oriented websites are cynical , this being no exception. Although the degree of cynicism is a bit on the higher side here with lovely people like us crawling the forums. Hm, so one of my dreams, getting married, is really something I should try to avoid? Not really , nothing wrong with wishing to find a compatible partner for life. What you need to watch out for is the type of girl and how much trouble is she likely to be in the future. Too many naive men stupidly get married to incompatible women without thinking of the long term and become disillusioned with the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
