Romance

[yeseye]

I've just watched a soppy film and am feeling all gooey. Talk to me about romance.
What's the most romantic thing you've ever done, or experienced...?

what film was it ?

Animal Farm

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I wrote someone a poem once. But it did have the word vagina in it, so I'm not sure how romantic it was.

 

[johnny on the spot]

Well, we've just had one mega bastard of an argument. A bit of romance would be wonderful right now.

As soon as you even contemplate doing something traditionally romantic all respect for you goes out the window, for reasons I can't even begin to fucking figure out!

I've been with the Missus over 27 years, and really can't think of any proper romantic thing either of us has done apart from cards and chocolates at the appropriate festival - if either of us did I suppose the other would like to know what the other had done wrong :)

Me too I never do anything romantic, but then I don't believe in all that love shite. Pick someone you get along with, and hopefully fancy, and get on with it.

So true mate, anytime I buy the missus flowers that's the first thing she asks ;-(

Do not. I repeat do not ever buy a girl flowers. One its a waste of cash and secondly they will think you've been shagging around.

My mum and dad met 50 years ago yesterday and dad took mum out for a romantic meal for two at the Lime Tree last night. They are still completely in love with each other, which is lovely.

Edit: When they met he was 29 and she was 17!

for me, romance isn't necessarily about the big gestures but more the everyday things which show that you are aware of the other person's feelings. e.g.,
- the days your other half gets up to make the children's breakfast leaving yo to have a lie in
- picking up a favourite bottle of wine because you happened to see it on sale when you nipped out for a pint of milk
- not needing to ask where you want to go on a night out because you already know what types of places each other would like

all of that said, my children are off to their dad's at 3pm tomorrow so if anyone wants to whisk me away for a champagne fuelled romantic weekend away i can be good to go by 3.30.
