    would you consider yourself 'romantic'?

    Do the words under "Orientation" give you a hint? :slight_smile:

    And I don't like to concern myself with romance between other people either. The phenomenon of romance is somewhat puzzling, way too full of feeling and irrationality, and a tad bit illogical for me. It's nice to see people happy, I'll just never quite get the importance of romance.

    Also I find it squicky.

    When it comes to coupledom, not at all. When it comes to sharing intimate conversation with people, savoring experiences (the mundane and the exotic), walking the world and simultaneously writing my story and living one that constantly unfolds for me, yes.

    I guess I am more of *a* romantic than romantic.

    I'd love to take a walk with you. I'm sure we'd have much to talk about (though I'm sure you'd find me incredibly irrational. It's kinda my thing.)

    No. That doesn't mean I don't express my love though. For me there is a very thin line where it just becomes corny and laughable. I don't want a fuckin rose.

    Nothing against you. I find a great many people to be highly irrationa and illogical, including myself. If you really want to talk, I'm open for PMs.

    Yeah I don't know either. I'm not the type to buy roses and gifts or care about anniversaries. But I'd remind the person I loved that I love them everyday, I'd sing to them all the time, I'd dance in public with them if it made them smile. Maybe I'm unconventional but romantic? Or maybe not at all?:lol:

    I probably could be, but I've never been in a relationship so I don't know~.

    Yes I try. But perhaps not in a traditional sense

    I am hopelessly romantic.

    I do. I've been trying to find one for my empty vase in the corner.

    I mean, I don't use romance or being 'romantic' to drive my relationship or even define it.

    Just was a general question

    No. I think that classical romanticism killed the true nature of human bonding by putting unrealistic expectations and constraints onto couples that push them to the mental and emotional edge when they can't keep up the illusion of a "good, strong relationship". I think that it's caused a lot of disillusionment and heartaches when things go just a little bit south, or don't play out as expected. And I think it's caused a lot of inner turmoil when the newness starts to fade and feelings start to change.

    That said, I do have a significant other that I care for deeply and immensely.

    And she does this thing with her face that makes me want to give her flowers and have cute picnics in the park with her.

    And she is, indeed, my sunshine.

    I've never really had the chance as I've never been in a relationship before but I'd rather have friendly fun with a lover rather than bring about a big formal romantic event.

    I'm what I like to call a "closeted romantic". I never showed it, because I don't wanna be seen as the desperate boy/girl- crazy girl, but deep inside, I am. I have many beliefs, and one of them is, that there is a perspn out there that has been created for you. In scientific terms (cause I'm scientific), let's just say there's someone, only one person, you have exceptional chemestry with. And I believe you are meant to meet one day so seize your chance.
    I also enjoy beautiful love stories and everything that has to do with romance... But caution, I don't like being drowned in romance. What I seek in a partner is also great friend ship and fun. That's why my ideal date isn't candlelight dinner. At all.
    I'm romantic but not cheesy.

    I'm a rather hopeless one, at that. When I still tried to instigate a relationship with this one really sweet girl, I would sing to her, write her poems, purchase her jewelry, kiss the top of her head and ruffle up her hair, give her dark chocolate... I essentially wanted only to spoil her, albeit in unconventional ways. One of my ideal dates is a long walk either on the beach or in a field of daisies at sunset-- but I have no girlfriend to do such things with. :frowning2:

    I'd like to think I could be one, but at the same time I'm a pretty apathetic person (a lot of people say I have no feelings:lol::tears:slight_smile:, but at the same time, if I loved that person, then I probably could be :slight_smile:
