I'm not trying to pick on women here, and I know what I'm about to write are a bunch of generalizations backed up with nothing more than my own limited experience but why don't women have to be romantic? I mean, I personally have planned dates, weekend trips, bought flowers and gifts, gone on carriage rides, went to movies and shows that I hated, walks along the beach, ect.. I bought my last girlfriend everything that she wanted for Christmas without ever asking her. The list goes on and on. Guys do things like this and more every day. What I don't see, or even hear about is women doing things their boyfriends or husbands would like on anywhere near the same scale. Spending days or weeks planning something special that he would like. Or buying something that the guy would like on a whim just because it made you think of them. Why is that? Another thing I don't get is why women don't think men are romantic.

Again, I know some men aren't at all romantic and some women are really romantic but, in my experience it's more or less the situation described above.

Both women and men are romantic but they show their romance side in totally different ways that's why women say men are not romantic and men say women are not romantic.it's just because of the difference between the two nature.people have different experiences and they talk about the other sex from their side of view which is their passed relationships and the relationship they have seen around them.so generally people don't pay that much fare when it comes to comparing men and women.i personally think both are equally romantic but the ways they choose to show it is different.

Women can be very romantic. Some are just more realistic... but the one's who are romantic just tend to let the guy take over and then they (the women) play along. It really depends on the couple. One of the people will always tend to be more romantic than the other. What matters is how balanced they are.

Women are very romantic {then again, it depends on the person, be it male or female}. I can only really speak for myself. I love to surprise my guy with gifts! I think it's great to get away on a whim. Sadly if you are with the wrong person then there won't be a balance in the romance department.

I think this could go both ways. As I see it, if you pay attention more than you should, women tend to get bored. I always use the analogy of a parent at a park with his kid. If the parent holds the hand of the kid and doesn't let him go, when all the kid wants to do is to let go and run around, he will get upset and even cry. There are all those interesting things out there and he wants to run around and explore them.

Then, the father lets go off the hand and the kid starts running around and enjoying himself. He is comfortable out there and having fun, while knowing the parent is there watching over him. Then the parent hides behind a tree and when the kid looks up momentarily to make sure he still has the comfort and the protection of the father, he doesn't see him around. He starts crying again but this time, because of the lack of the security and comfort.

Relationships are not any different than this. If you give too much, constantly and show her that she is the one that only matters to you more than you should, she will ultimately feel no challenge for herself within the relationship. Especially if she is one of those who is really self-centered and likes to push you to your limit, she will start doing the things she knows you would hate, just to see how you would react. Translation: she will toy around with you. And once she knows the answer to that, whether or not you respond to her silly game, she will be done with all the challenges and move on.

It is a very thin line between what to give and what to hold, just like the thin line between love and hate..

I think its really a personal preference thing with women. I've encountered both types while dating. Some girls love the attention, gifts, flowers, etc, while others barely acknowledge receiving these things, or don't really seem to consider them important. I personally love giving these things, so I'm always happy when they are appreciated!

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
First go to a nice dinner. Someplace really nice like olive garden. Then go to a nice coffee house for some coffee and chat, followed by throwing a blanket down and laying under the stars and just looking at them and chatting. Then I would take you home and give you a kiss goodnight old fashioned style.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Well as we are chatting over coffee we will probably talk about favorite hobbies, music, movies, stuff like that.

Would you date me?
