Is romance dead or do you think it was just reincarnated into something less superficial? Something else? You know, instead of roses… we now get our oil changed, if we are lucky! Instead of Candle-Lit Dinners… they save us a seat on the couch next to them, or even better maybe one night a year we might not have to sleep in the wet spot!
It isn’t really all such a bad thing to become so comfortable with your significant other, but why does it seem that the romantic side of most relationships are left to the woman to keep up? Granted…. Lots of men still find small ways to keep that spark alive (or so I’ve heard)… but what about the rest of them that just don’t got a clue!?
I mean, seriously, .these guys need some guidance into the world of woo-ing!!! It doesn’t have to be expensive to “Woo” us.. hell.. we all know that it’s the little things that really make it all worth it!
What about the whole ‘Chase’ element and why does it have to end once you marry and in some cases sleep with a man? I for one want to be chased once in awhile for the rest of my life! I know I’m not the only one out there that when in a relationship, have looked over to their partner and thought “I wish he would come over here, look me in my eyes, and give me the most deepest, most passionate ‘just because’ kiss. You know the one, the kiss that make your feet tingle, your toes curl and the hair on your arms stand straight… probably like the one that got you hooked on him in the first place!
We’ve all had those feelings before, but instead of that kiss, all we got was a glance and a burp or asked for the remote. I had one guy that every once in awhile would pick his nose and fling his boogers at me, he said that he didn't because he loved it when I would scream at him, jump up and freak out, thought I looked absolutely adorable when I was upset and laughing at the same time.
I’m not asking to be whisked off my feet, get a dozen roses a week, poetry all the time, or even a guy that wants to take me dancing all the time. I just want a little romance which could be a certain look he gives me… an extra kiss before leaving for work… a little note stuck to the bathroom mirror or a Hershey Kiss placed next to my keys in the morning!!!
Maybe next time around I’ll be lucky enough to find a man that has a little bit of a romance in him.
