ARE YOU A ROMANTIC PERSON?

[QuinnSheryl]

There’s no right answer, but it’s good to know what to expect which is why this is one of the best things to ask a guy.

I am unfortunately a very romantic person. I once proposed by first taking her to a Broadway show she wanted desperately wanted to see and also to her favorite 4 star restaurant to get her favorite meal and included in the day was 3 dozen long stemmed red roses, 3 dozen white carnations and baby's breath along with a hand made card with a poem I wrote and 3 dozen balloons and chocolate truffles I made myself and all that on Valentines Day and while driving back to her place we saw the Aurora Borealis which I took as my cue so I took out the 1 ct vvsi diamond solitaire ring that I made for her (I was earning a living at the time making engagement rings) and I proposed. She put on the ring and thanked me for it then laughed and walked out of my life. So that is why I said unfortunately.

I never was but now that I am older I think I am becoming more of a romantic person.

[QuinnSheryl]

Sure

[exitseven]

No, I'm serious. I think I have mellowed in my old age.

[QuinnSheryl]

Oh okay

[exitseven]

Okay 😊😊😊😊

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[Libbers]

I think I like the idea of it all. So I guess I am. 🥰

[Account]

I cannot be.

[jerdanro]

Why not?

[Account]

I am not created like that.

[jerdanro]

Gotcha. As long as you are happy, and I hope you are.

[Account]

Thank you, I hope you are happy too

[jerdanro]

Thank you. :)

I am but not in the stereotypical love sense. I wouldn't be able to serenade a woman without turning it into one big joke (although I have done it with a guitar in front of friends yet it was meant to be funny and got many laughs and also embarrassed my girl a bit).

Yet I'm a romantic in the sense that I believe strongly in idealizing reality. It's like a 7-course French dinner, with a romantic outlook, is a wonderful experience worth remembering. With a very practical outlook, it's a very inefficient and expensive way to get nutrients.

[TurboKid]

I have my own way with the love stuff though but it might be an acquired taste for most women. For example, at my wedding, I gave a long speech. And I didn't plan it out and just improvised it.

So I started talking about the history of cavemen and I don't actually know the history of cavemen at all but just made it up. And I started talking about how if I was a caveman and spotted my wife, I wouldn't beat her on the head and take her to my cave. Instead, I would want to share my food with her and maybe she can help me with the cooking and making the food tastier. I get going on and on about it and talked for like 10 minutes about the history of cavemen and what I'd do if I met my wife as a caveman.

Anyway, most people thought that was the most awful wedding speech ever. Yet one of the bridesmaids actually cried and said it was the most romantic thing she ever heard.

no but if you want a romantic person you can teach me how to be if that what she wants. I should tell a girls how I am from the start. Hi I am mat I need a lot of space but I like you. I don't know how to dance. But I can learn. if you want a romantic person teach me. Do not text me every hour. I will call you at the end of the night if I did not see you today. If you not here from me for 3 day I am fine. I am a weird person. I will ask you things that know one else will. I do not understand hinting. I am no good at flirting. I do not understand it and think it weird. If you want something tell me and I try to get it for you. I want you to be happy.

For me it depends on my mental state at the time. I have issues with emotions in general, I find them hard to navigate and identify more so that what most people would state is 'expected issues'. If i am really struggling mentally I am very pragmatic and almost hyper rational as i've gone into a sort of dissociative state where emotions and indeed emotional intelligence aren't even on my radar

Whereas if i'm allowing myself to be vulnerable (which is something i only tend to do in private when i'm alone as i tend to get very easily overwhelmed when i'm like this) i can be very romantic (like fairy-tale romantic). The problem i have is merging the two 'identities' as it were into a co-operative state rather than a state of extremes

Note: No i don't have 'DID', i do have emotional numbness and anxiety which at times gets worryingly close to paranoia

[hahahmm]

Sure... but only to a point. If she takes anything for granted or neglects being good to men during those few times where I need that (sick for example) I'm shutting it down till she recognizes/realizes where she went wrong.

[ThePolishKnight37]

I am a Knight at heart, so yes i am a romantic, but feminism has just about killed that for men. I am a door opener, flower giver, I like to leave little notes every where. Basically like to make the person I am with, feel like a Queen

[throwsomecheeseonit]

Yes I try to be if the girl likes it. Some girls do not like you to be romantic though. I think stuff like opening door and walking on street side so you protect her if car swerves should be common courtesy not romantic though.

[MannMitAntworten]

This depends on her perspective whether or not I am. I am thoughtful, but I am not sure that makes me romantic or not. I have never been accused of not being so or enough so, but that also does not necessarily mean that I am. Beats me…

[hearvoices]

Not by nature, but I know that women appreciate it so I work hard to be romantic with them.

[MrCommodore]

Honestly no, I'm not naturally a romantic guy, but I am kind and it balances out.

[Jersey2]

No. I tell my wife she got the Adventurer not the Romantic. 😂

[chriscdi]

I guess the best way to put this is that I've got my moments 🤷🏽‍♂️

[dudeinohio]

Im not sure. Maybe. I'm one to express affection easily, if that counts.

[SweetRomeo]

Why is there a need to be romantic? That's womans job. Mens is Valentine's day.

[Shihab91]

To be honest, not much, I'm always scared about expressing my feelings

[Iron_Man]

Yes old-school type fashion romantic

[Paulychicago10]

As far I know I believe I am

[QuinnSheryl]

Good luck

[Paulychicago10]

[QuinnSheryl]

Follow me to know

[Paulychicago10]

I believe I am

[dray995]

I’d like to think I can occasionally be.

[jerdanro]

I am. Very romantic with someone I care about.

[Agape93]

Sometimes

[LemiaOfChampions]

Yes i am
