Some people seem to be more romantic by nature and others not so much. Even though they are not too romantic they still can love intensely. But what do you think makes someone romantic? Do you like someone who romances you with dinners by candlelight and a bath for two? Someone who takes you for long walks in the rain and holds your hand? What about the little gestures? How romantic are you and is your partner romantic as well?
My husband may not seem like the most obvious romantic but he is quite the romantic. =) I think I am more romantic than he is and he knows it. Still we often have romantic moments without realizing it. Like one night we went out rollerblading together, both of our first times, and we rollerbladed and held hands to keep each other from falling. We shared lots of laughs that night and it was so romantic even without all of the kissing and without the rain. =)
So what about you?

Once, to celebrate my anniversary with my lover then, I moved my sofas and living rooms items to the kitchen. I lay down the mat, dim the light, and put out the picnic basket. I took out all the simple dishes one can enjoy, just like when one is at the beach, having a picnic. We could not go to the beach for some private reason, and so that was the best I could do for my lover then.
Or even a simple gesture like this - send out three emails. No content. Just one word on the mail title. I send out 'You' first. And then, copy and paste the love symbol and send out as the second one. And thirdly, 'I'. So, when my lover opened the mailbox, my lover could see the 3 titles lining up my messages.

I'm not romantic at all,,lol,, I don't know why but some people say I used my logic too much. I just can't get it if someone say "I'll love you forever" or that kind of romantic statement. Do you know how long is forever? how if you die? will you live forever? then how can you say that thing?
That's the question that I'll ask if there's someone who say that thing to me. It's ok to have a romantic partner or romantic friend but I just can't take it too long or understand their way of thinking. Kissing in the rain is cold. rollerblading together and hold each other hands can make one of them fall and have injury. Candlelight dinner is just dinner. Hahaha.. this is my first reaction if I heard about romantic things.
But I must admit it's nice and fun to have romantic friends, as long as they don't ask me to be romantic too..

i like romantic persons. My ex is a reality guy . He didn't go out with me holding my hands and he enjoyed staying at home. We broke up a few years ago . Oo no not the reason that he was not romantic broke us up. There are many other reasons. My husband is a more funny guy . He is easy to be happy even with a little things .That's why i love him. He enjoys holding my hands everywhere, making jokes all the time, singing all around . Yeah i think this is romantic

I'm not outwardly romantic in public. But when it is just me and my girl, I pull out all the stops - I don't feel the need to show off to other people in front of my girl. I think a lot of how romance develops is the little things in a relationship - not so much the cliche stuff we see in the media. I often romanticize my daydreams as well - I think studies show men actually have more romantic perceptions of relationships than women.

Well I am very much romantic in nature.
But never really got a chance to show it to someone.
I am living a different life these days. Well with a very busy and life with many ups and downs, I have never really experienced true love.
Because I was hot-blooded and it has been my drawback. My heart has many things to share but never found the right girl to share with so everything is stored in that little heart in some corner and I think as the day passes it will make me more stronger from bottom and the only girl who will be lucky will win me.
It was nice hearing such romantic stuff.

hi kcoregon! I consider myself a romantic, I am a sucker for cheeziness and mushiness :) I love the feeling when someone makes me feel special with the biggest and the smallest things. At the same time, I love making my love feel very special and cared for. I remember one time when I was still in a relationship, my boyfriend surprised me with a candlelight dinner at the terrace of their home, with all the candles and christmas lights all over. I miss that feeling :) I know in the future I will meet someone again who I will take care of and will take care of me. Good luck to you and to your husband. Stay happy and continue to believe in love!

you need not be romantic to show your love just tell them how much you love.
just like may not be a candle light dinner but a beautiful rose just be what you are but don't act as if you are a romantic person.

Nah, I'm not much of a romantic guy, or I don't think I am. Truth be told, I'm more of the shy type that avoids romance and the mushy stuff. When it comes to holding hands with friends of mine, I can't help to feel nervous or blush. I mean, I can love and have crushes. But.. I'm really not that romantic at all.

Hi kcoregon, I think I also enjoy romantic. It is affected by the environment or just a kind of feeling. It is abnormal to fill with romantic every time, every day, especially when they have been together for a long time. But when a special day, people will usually have a romantic feeling with each other.
I remember, one time I forgot our annversary, my girl friend was very sad, but she didn't tell me until I said I forgot it. I think she felt sad and I felt sorry because we all expect that it is a important day. When we go to a restaurant to have a dinner, or hond hands for a walk, we will generally feel the romantic.

Hi, yes I feel I am romantic, but it depends upon couples what makes them feel the romance. Like I feel giving small small surprises every now and then makes the other person happy. Romance is not only realted to physical relationship, but it should make the other person happy and comfartable with you. Should be able to enjoy each and every moment with you. Even when you are waiting for your loved one to be with you, there is something romantic in that situation, which in turn will make you more romantic when your loved one is with you after a long wait. So all depends on how you enjoy each situation and moment. Just my views.
