Hey I'm kind of a hopeless romantic and I was just wondering if in the era of myspace and text messaging is the romantic gesture long gone? Guys and girls how would you feel about a candle light dinner, a love poem/letter, fresh cut roses? Is that stuff now creepy?
candle light dinners, love poems/letter, fresh cut roses are all a bit campy in current times. there has to be something of a twist to all of those listed things. like the candle is subtle and not dripping with wax while you're eating, and the poem/letter is nicely stylised and delivered, the roses are not obvious and make the girl carry it so everyone can see her. how embarrassing.
Honestly, it just all depends on how comfortable you are with the girl and vice versa and who she is. I know many girls who would absolutely love to have a boyfriend appreciate them like that but on the other hand I also know girls who really don't like that stuff at all. I mean, my ex-boyfriend sent me a letter and it was pretty much the cutest thing ever and he sent me roses too and pretty much every girl was like "omg I wish I had a boyfriend like that". Now he never did the candle light dinner but it would have been a cute gesture just because I really liked him and I knew he would have done it because he liked me just as much.
But yeah, text messaging and myspace do really take the romance out of things. They're both really impersonal.
Candles? Yes. Roses? Hell yes. Letter? Of course! Poem? Like the other gals have said, maybe a bit over the top. But romance is NOT dead. I'd much rather my guy give me roses than just send me this: --------{@ or something. The real thing is MUCH more romantic, and much more appreciated. :)
I think a poem / letter would be a little on the creepy side...
but to me the most romantic thing a guy can do is go out of his way to watch out for a girl. like, make sure she's doing okay and just talking to her. :) don't overdo it though. like, don't constantly ask how her day was. maybe a couple of times a week if you guys aren't already together.
I would love it and it sounds nice and romantic - please people these days rush so fast to everything that they forget the whole deal of romanticizing each other! So no sweetie it's the best date a guy can come up with!
A candlelight dinner and fresh cut roses still sound fantastic to me. Although I think I might like just a single rose better than a bouquet. The poem/letter might be taking it a bit far though.

I think waiting can be really really good - but it has nothing to do with "until I'm married" but just until you're ready to make it a part of an already healthy relationship.
If you are not good friends with this 'buddy' then I would not worry about it and let her know how you feel.Food for thought though... If this girl is not telling her man that she does not feel the...
