Romance...

[Amby 490]

mmmmmmmmmm....love gruyere

love and boys are icky

just kidding

i prefer sleeping alone. i prefer to do everything for myself because i'm a perfectionist and it's not done right unless i do it...doesn't matter what it is. i prefer dirty sex over "making love". i prefer for no one to annoy me...mainly means talking to me when i'm trying to do something even if it's not something important. i prefer to stay away from hand holding and public displays of affection. i prefer to not kiss anyone...ever. i prefer keeping my feelings to myself. lately i don't even care about any of that anymore. i really think i'm going insane

i do simple/little things for people i care about...things that i would normally expect people to do for themselves. i also allow people to do things for me and then try not to cringe when it's not being done my way. if i want to show someone that i care...i cook for them. i'm very passionate about cooking and food...to me food is love. if i let someone cook with me...well that's never happened since i'm a huge perfectionist. if i let someone cook with me then i must be sick

i also write. i write down whatever i'm feeling or thinking in an email to myself. if i read it the next day and still feel that way then i send it without any editing.

Have I been cloned?!

I knew there was a reason I like you

She is the romantic one. I do get regular coaching sessions though.

Did you get in a guy's van?

"Where's your car?"

"It's a van."

"Great!"

Bedazzled is a pretty funny movie if you haven't seen already. Harold Ramis (Egon - Ghostbusters) directed it.

I am not really a natural romantic. My husband is more the romantic. He loves snuggling, telling me he loves me, wants to replace the wedding band he lost, etc. But neither of us are into flowers, cards, that kind of garbage. We think it is hot when we tell each other how we spent little or nothing on an expensive needed purchase. My husband brought me some Tim Horton's yesterday at work. That was good enough for me. We are easy to please, I think.

Just curious. What do you all think of as romantic? Is one of you more romantic than the other?

Romantic relates to romance, so what the heck is romance?

"ro·mance (r½-m²ns“, r½“m²ns”) n. 1.a. A love affair. b. Ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people, especially that characterized by a high level of purity and devotion; love: They kept the romance alive in their marriage for 35 years. c. A strong, sometimes short-lived attachment, fascination, or enthusiasm for something: a childhood romance with the sea.

Ha, my wife was concerned about me, being so technical and so forth. But some of those skills came in handy when her computer would crash, clothes dryer wouldn't work, or doing things around the home to please her taste. So exactly what is romance in a practical sense of the word? Candlelight dinners, walks in the moonlight, flowers, dancing?

She was delighted with the many repairs I did in her condo in Venezuela, ha, didn't have to ask her if she wanted to make love, kind of a reward for my efforts. From just three words from a song lyrics, was able to find her a song she couldn't remember the title to. It's those little things that she loves, or like setting up my home theater so she could turn everything on with the push of one button.

Could use more ideas on how to be romantic, sending a dozen roses to her work place worked, her co-workers, said wow.

I'm a romantic, Sujeet isn't as much. He has tried before though. And sometimes something romantic doesn't have to be something with roses everywhere, etc. Knowing I was thought about and then something special was done for me is what I find very romantic, even if it's like buying my favorite gum or something. I do like getting flowers(even just one flower) for my bday and valentines but it wasn't as natural for Sujeet to do that, but he does do it now. And he does pick out the most sweet,make other people gag, cards for me and I am always impressed with what he writes in them and it makes what I write look silly.

We both are...when we were first dating and he was in Toronto and I was here, he did somethings that blew me away on the romantic scale.

NOT candy and teddy bear stuff...really thoughtful and inventive.

Three years together and a kid.......not as much! Too tired and busy.

One of my closets friends told me this years ago:

She told her partner that she would prefer he wash the toilet then bring her flowers.

I like her pragmatic ways.

She and I both are not into flowers.....I mean they are cut and they die.

Waaaahhhh!

There are so many of me in the one me...so depending on which personality decides to show up, I may be the most romantic person on the planet or the least.

And so, my sweetie is confused, with reason. Hahaha!

I fight my "perfectionist" ways as often as I can catch myself (that personality, ha).

I am getting better at that all the time. Phew.

Perfectionism is a fault!

(Amby, please take notes.)

If a man wants to romance me, I want it spontaneous and unusual!

Yes!

It happens when I travel. People are so fun when taken out of their routines.

(My partner is too much "by the book" and so....yawn...hahaha. He is so sweet though...

I am the whacky one in this relationship.)

Romance is to woo...and so after marriage/commitment one has to remind oneself to keep up the spark.

No but I went from dating a guy who went onto be a missionary to dating the security guy at the boardwalk where I worked near the beach who lived in a camper and did a lot of drugs

As Cristina's Tia Pili says, "Cristina and Jeff are Superfantastico Romantico's", I always feel like a 1 year old Golden Retriever waiting for his new bestest (and only) girlfriend and Cristina still loves date nights and "our alone time". Try it with a beautiful 15 month old though
