Are you a Romantic?

[KFCSpicy]

Do you buy flowers? Send gifts? Think up of elaborate original plans for an event to make a friend or significant other pleased on a special day or just because?

I was just wondering about what most people see in themselves and others as being romantic and what have you done if anything...that is considered romantic?

Me...I was cured of being a romantic by an ex. On one Valentine's Day I got all dressed up and bought wine and he was not in the least interested. Murder was on my mind the rest of the evening but I was not dressed for Golden Grove so I desisted in bloodying my hands. :evil:

Are men more romantic than women?

Is it enuff that your mate/friend knows that you appreciate them quietly? Or should one go that extra mile every now and again?

[Falcon]

How about going the extra mile almost everyday so you dont have to get carried away along with the rest of the world every February. :roll:

[vaio]

i am a hopeless romantic.... i do things just because....and on those special days....i do even moreeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! :P

my hubby is just as bad...and he likes to spoil me....i get roses....just because...and not have to wait for a special day...of course on them special days...i get them as well...... :D

Don't lose romanticism because of a loser! :evil: If the guy that you are with now is really interested in you, he would love all the romantic stuff for Valentines.

I am super romantic but not the typical one, I am more simple than that. I don't care for flowers or even jewelry, give me something reallly nice to eat and I am in love all over again. :D

[bluenote492000]

I am what I call a closet romantic. Yup a down to earth total realist that secretly writes and sends loves letters and sappy, badly written poetry to my sweetie :roll: . Forget flowers and chocolate, the most romantic thing my baby does is giving me foot rubs especially when we return from a party and I dressed up in 5” heels. Beauty may be pain but I love the rewards :D .

[serenity]

Yeah... :oops:

[KFCSpicy]

I wonder if most men understand the significance of a foot rub? :?

I had my ex help me undress after a party, when he saw the marks the strappy sandals left on my feet he was like :o how de hell you does wear them things? I was like :roll: boy yuh eh unnerstand we women. He proceeded to put my feet up and rub the soreness away.

That in my heart made him better than most of the guys I knew right then and there. :oops: Ah shame to say I like being spoilt and I wish I had someone who inspired me to spoil them but my present bf he takes a lot for granted and acts suprised when I what to box him down.

But he ok in he own way. Sigh! :(

[bluenote492000]

Yup guys the way to a woman’s heart is through her feet :lol: . I just love that I don’t have to ask him to do it which of course makes me want to spoil him since he’s so sweet and thoughtful :mrgreen: .

[KFCSpicy]

Ah feel yuh must share Bluey. :? God say yuh must share. and ah believe yuh go want to do yuh civic christian duty and share de lil bf. :mrgreen:

[Solachica]

I am not a romantic sorta person. Thts not me.
I don't like chocolates, flowers etc. :lol:

A feller used to buy me dozen different colour roses everytime we went out and I used to find it a pain to walk around with but other women used to be impressed. :lol: but thts not in Trini eh.

[bluenote492000]

Share him... nah. The man does cook to so I trying to figure out a walk to chain him to the stove....... permanently :twisted: !

[Trinique]

here nah, ah bounce up ah lady yesterday who say she does never buy nutten fer she husband (not even ah card), that valentines is ah day for de WOMAN to be romanced, not de man

what alyuh tink bout dat? :shock:

[KFCSpicy]

I think she chose to be selfish on that day. I don't agree with Valentine's Day but I do believe it takes two to make things work and even on this day it takes yuh man being happy and pleased to make you happy and pleased. Tit for tat!

I can't be like that.

[Aurea]

I'm "simple romantic" - I don't always need the flowers, candy, cards etc. And don't always give it - but when I do something for someone it's all that more special. I guess it all depends on the person u r and ppl who are in ur life.

I've been told that I've been spoilt in my relationships. But who cares? It works for me. I love getting flowers and trinkets. I love the corny text messages and the marathon phone calls.

I love being the centre of his world...or at least being made to feel that way. And I reciprocate, though I dont send guys flowers.

[strombo23]

I'm a cheap romatic. I'll say I love you in creative ways. Tho, if I see sumting that she will just LOVE, thats unique and I can afford it...I'll buy it for her.

Dais how meh ex was (he was a student at the time too). But meh boy was the most romantic thing ever! *sigh* Those where the days...

[KFCSpicy]

Why does romance equal money being spent? What happen to little thoughtful things like a back rub? Cooking for a week? Picking me up from work when I least expect it? Dropping by just to say hi or take me for a lil lunch time nookie in de hollows?

Ok scratch dat larse part eh...all yuh didn't read dat bit. :?

[kemist]

Is it enuff that your mate/friend knows that you appreciate them quietly? Or should one go that extra mile every now and again?

I think men and women have different ideas on what 'now and again' means.
men's definition : occasionally
women;s definition : NOW! and when you're done, AGAIN!
:lol:

now about dem massages...

I know women loves foot rubs but i'm at best average at that. :oops:
However, I know the art of accupressure (AP); my speciality is back and neck. I also know a little of what is termed as 'sensual massages', but from my (limited) experience, women were more satisfied with the relaxing and soothing effect of AP, especially after a long day at work.

Bless you son for being so wise for your age, one day you are going to make some lucky lady, very happy. :)

[KFCSpicy]

Kemist,

Babe...

Ah still waiting to read what yuh bad at they. Any man that can Do what yuh do even haff way good is a good man to me. I doh care if yuh excel at the elbows only once yuh make the attempt to love meh up by rubbing meh up then me and u go be happy. AP, sensuous, hot oil, wrestling blows....once they are done with love i good.

Happy Valentine's Day Kemist.

[kemist]

Thanks snow, long time i eh blush and happy valentines day.

Happy valentines day to you too kfc and all forumites.
lol @ 'wrestling blows' (i thought i was kinky :D )

The reason why i dont consider myself an expert in feet, is because i dont know how to apply AP at the feet. There are so many pressure points there, and i was told that specific combos of points at the feet, inner thighs and knee areas, can really help put a woman in the 'mood'. My instructor, being the old fashion religious type, said he'll only teach me the right combos when i get married. :roll:

Getting back to topic, women may not realise it but some of the things that men think are romantic may seem strange to you. For instance, i remember while out liming (and of course alcohol was involved), my gf said to me, babes, doh worry i go drive back home.
When i heard that line i was thinking awwh thats love :)
Another one was when i told her over the phone the night before, that my day at work tomorrow was so busy i wouldnt have much time to go and get lunch. Next day at noon, a delivery guy came with food that she ordered for me. Thats not all, i heard she woke up earlier that morning, to go to the food stall (not on her work route) to place the order.
For me that was another 'awwwh thats love' moment.

Awwwww...so sweet... :P

Ah only hope u deserve she eh!

[kemist]

i hope so too.

I shoulda specified i was talking about my last ex.
That was 3 years ago.
Its funny how when i finally discover someone i'm compatible with, she had to leave :( .

another 'awwwh thats love' moment : she tolerated watching star wars, star trek, stargate and other science fiction shows with me :)

[KFCSpicy]

Well I for one sorry to hear all yuh break up especially after you said you were both compatible.

Maybe the time has not come for all yuh two to be seriously together...maybe that was just the teaser course and as time goes by all yuh might find each other once more.

Serenity what yuh do for Valentines Day?

[serenity]

Serenity what yuh do for Valentines Day?

Spent the day in the office drafting documents.
Ate ALL meh chocolates :oops:
Spent the night in the office with some of my colleagues doing research.
What I doing today and this weekend and next week? More of the same.
Joy. The things yuh hadda do to get ahead in life... ;)

But I'll be free after its over (...until the next one) next week Friday! Yay! Drinks on me!

Sorry it didnt work out Kemist.
What is it that they say? Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
I always wondered how true that was.

[KFCSpicy]

^^^It's true. I feel priviledged to have known and experience being in love even though it was onesided as hell...but hey at least I know how it was to be consumed by an emotion other than a negative one.

[Jenny]

I am...I love doing special things....don't need an occasion to do it. Light candles, aroma melts, presents every so often....4 course meals on weekends...not during the week eh....I doh have the time. Always been like that...love doing it. Foot rubs, massages ....yea Im a lovely dovey mushy feely kinda person!

[KFCSpicy]

^^Pity yuh is not a man then real woman would have run yuh down. :)
