Are you a romantic person?

[Chikky]

[MAC1983]

I think this is a fallacious question, since "romantic" is an extremely polisemic (has multiple meanings) word...
If by romantic you mean acting like the aloof, stupid, insensitive male characters on most romantic comedies that is a hard no.
If you mean it in the more current version of someone who likes to please the other person, give well-thought-of gifts, care about and think about the person, sure!
But Romantic is also a Phylosophical, Historical, Literary, and language-defining term, and it gets very tricky very fast after that.
For example, in Phylosophy and History, Romantics were people like Hegel, which vyed for a united language with which to support a unified country - it meant creating traditions, harmonizing different views, and, I must say, wound up not seeing as negative squashing those who didn't get on board. (The idea of eugenics, and superiority of race is not implied at all, but was instrumentalized)
To speak nothing of Literature! For example, some consider Edgar Allan Poe a Romantic, for his fatalism, but he is not what women picture as romantic. Worse, there are romantics out there less romantic, in this sense, than your average, well-meaning, Goth. The ideas of Passion, Life, Death, Meaning... They are what is important in Romantic literature.

So, instead of asking someone if he or she is romantic, try finding out what he or her thinks, feels and says about you, both your families, and both your friends.

You will learn a lot more, and gain valuable "keys and maps" for all those relationships, no matter what happens.

I am 99% sure this was simply in response to relationships lol. (So your second paragraph.)

[Madmegalomaniac]

Or third. Anyways third sentence.

[MAC1983]

I did go all-out on that one 🙄 I'm sorry, honest.

I keep hearing people asking that question and it makes me bounce up and down more each time I hear it...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I have a bit of romance but I'm not actually romantic.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Not really, at least not anymore. I used to be when I was younger and fantasized about having a boyfriend and a "storybook relationship."

Then I grew up and realized that love is hard. That and to be careful who you fall for, or they might break your heart.

[Dreamy2020]

I wouldn't say that I am romantic, I am more affectionate person. I feel romance is forced. I don't even like Valentines day.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say I’m warm and kind but not intoxicating or mesmerizing - like I don’t care about roses and chocolate bars but I will hug and hold hands and tell inside jokes and email guys cute animal photos and inspirational quotes

[dragoblack]

I've been alone for so long that I'm pretty simplistic when it comes to romance. Coffee dates. Cuddling with a good movie, thoughtful gifts, going hiking to a beautiful spot and having a picnic, spend tome time together on a hobby, making her favorite meal, ganking noobs in videogames and yelling at the screen

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Depends. I don't really know what people consider as romantic nowadays since society and film industry altered its meaning.
I like skiing in the Alps, stay at a nostalgic old fashioned chalet far from mass tourism and chill out in the evening by the wood oven and a cheesefondue. Maybe thats romantic for some

[DizzyDesii]

I mean i like candlelight, low music and rose petals but thats prob the most romantic i get. I’d like to kiss in the rain. I won't do eye contact for long and stuff. Im prob more passionate then romantic

[Anonymous]

I am. But like any male after seeing how women respond to it you learn to shelve that part of you. And with each heartbreak you learn to show it less and less. Eventually you view it as weakness. And it becomes sad that you hide such feelings rather than give your partner a weapon to use against you.

[Knighted2170]

I would like to think so, but only those I go out with could really tell you if I am or not.

I just try to be imaginative, think outside the box, and create memorable moments.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Yes i am and i have taken it to some levels that even i never imagined my self going so far but the wife gives me so much so i give back to show my appreciation

[rarearies27]

I consider myself very romantic. For me personally, as a 22 year old identical twin who’s never had a boyfriend and has only ever been used by guys for sex, I sometimes find a lot of romance to feel trapping. I love romantic corny dates and doing sweet little things, but I also need time to think things through before getting caught up in the romance aspect of dating. So I’m a conundrum I suppose.

[ohshee]

Yes very I love to be very slow motion I have a lot of hot passion to share but I like being very romantic about it

[1stranger]

Maybe. I don't know.. You read and decide.."You are the best song of my heart, I'm not tired of both listening and singing you.."

[MannMitAntworten]

I don’t think I am. I enjoy certain things which can be construed as romantic but I don’t view these moments as such. Just me enjoying what I enjoy. That’s all.

[Jakelatter2020]

Im a romantic bomber. I'm very romantic at the beginning, but once she's in love then I quit trying so hard, which is not a good thing. Just like I have no inspiration without the chase, tho... Not my fault you let me catch you

[pizzalovershouse]

I am once a week when in a relationship i like to do little things like give massages an cook once a week for my girl an some other small things from the heart an watch a movie she likes thats her favorite

[I-C3_ME]

Yep! Key to being romantic is being personal and remembering little funny or meaningful things about someone is something I'm really good at

[menina]

I am, very romantic. Just didn't have the chance of showing it yet...

[flamiE]

Yes but I like more sentimental romantic stuff than romantic so-called “cliches”.

[DellBell]

Most definitely! As for my boyfriend not so much unfortunately :(

[Bang5luts]

Yes. I try a little bit every day to let that special someone (when there is one) how much I care about them and how much I appreciate them.

[Massageman]

yeah, deep down inside I'm really an old-fashioned softie

[3lectricalLane]

Nope romantics dont exist its all about the dough the looks and stats
