It was awhile ago but you talked about what a romantic person you are. Real men are not into sissy stuff so don't make cracks about my manhood. | |

Spats said: luv4u said: A lot of relationships die coz the spark is allowed to die. Just coz you romanced a woman with flowers, phone calls, internet chat, dates, etc. at the very beginning, and now you got her. So why stop doing those special things that you romanced her with to get her?
I think it should always be an ongoing part of a relationship. But once the guy gets the girl, it stops. How many of you keep the romance alive in your relationship with your special woman? And what do you do? The guy should not be doing all of that in the beginning in the first place!!!!! Make the woman get off of her ass and actually contribute something. Get the woman to take a risk for once in her life instead of sitting back and letting the man sweat and pursue while she acts like a Princess. Maybe if the woman actually got agressive and did something the relationship would last longer. Spats may be a little rough around the edges, but a lot of what he says is on point. And he's not a wimpy PC-type - dude says what he feels instead of trying to be popular, which I respect. Romance should be a two-way street. I don't consider myself much of a romantic, and I always tell women that in the beginning of a relationship. I place a higher value on friendship, loyalty & respect than mushy declarations of love. |

Are you married? Ah...so "romantic"="wimpy"...so pretty much anything and everything I would or could possibly do would be considered wimpy in your eyes. Gotcha. Nope, not married...are you?  | |

Why can't it be both...friendship, loyalty and respect can (and do) go hand-in-hand with declarations of love. Romantic isn't just flowers and candy and poetry...romantic is mostly just sincerity, and a willingness to express it in a multitude of ways. | |

No, I have her and I still do things for her. Surprise her with this thing or that thing.
It doesn't stop, when you're constantly reminded how blessed you are to have her... As i am. 
I don't see why the "pursuit" technically has to end. You women know how complex you can be. There's always another layer to discover and explore. . [Edited 10/2/06 23:13pm] | |

Christopher said: Byron said: Holy crap...is that Diane Downs??...lol who is she? i have no idea i just googled oprah! lol She's a woman who was found guilty of shooting her three children in the back of her car on some deserted road at midnight...  She claimed a "bushy-haired stranger" did it when he waved his hands for her to pull over on that same deserted road at midnight with nobody else around and her kids in the back seat.
And apparently she did it out of her "love" for a man who didn't want kids...  | |

One of her kids, though, testified against her... | |

I think if a man is romantic before you're officially together, but then drops the romance after he's "won" your affection, then he wasn't expressing his sincere feelings...he was using romance as a tool to bag his prey, nothing more. There are men who are just not romantic and never will be...nothing wrong with that. But you'll see that in the beginning already, so it won't be a surprise later on. Some women don't want romance, makes them feel uncomfortable. Um...I'm sure there's a third catagory in there somewhere...lol...my mind is drugged right now, so can't think of what it would be. Anyway, I think it's completely natural to want and even expect your partner to express their love, appreciation and passion for you. I don't think it's enough to constantly tell yourself that you "know" you're loved so they don't have to tell you or show you...yet at the same time, you DO have to have security in the knowledge that they do love, value and appreciate you so that you're not constantly pushing for them to show it and tell it. In that case it starts to seem as if the things they DO say and do are overlooked, mean nothing...you're basically only wanting constant reassurance at that point. And there's a significant difference between wanting passion and romance in your relationship, and wanting reassurance that they still love you. Am I forgiven?...lol

And what do you do? not that i claim to understand icky unnatural hetrosexual relationships. but shouldn't the woman work just as hard to keep the romance alive? shouldn't it be a two way street? | |

[Edited 10/3/06 0:40am] Please forgive my female post... I have to agree with some of what Byron said... my husband has never really been one of these men who showers women with flowers etc, BUT, I have to say when he is romantic it makes it more special... he writes poetry and songs for me and he even drove almost 100 miles to deliver me college essay when I got the date to hand it in, wrong. Spats was also right when he said that romance isn't everything and that it should be a two way thing, I make sure I think of my other half and get him little gifts, cook his favourite meal. I don't do it all the time or else it wouldn't feel special... | |

But that is romance. It's the small things, and continued thoughtfulness from both parties, that keep the spark alive and your partner feeling loved and desired. | |
