1- What is the source of women's romantic expectations? What is the influence of media or movies on your romantic expectations?
Qualifier: "Girl"/"Woman"/"Lady" all have different expectations. The only thing they share in common is being female. Sources of inspiration differ based on a number of factors including who the person looks up to and admires. Some are greatly impacted by social media, movies, etc. and others aren't.

2- Do you expect your new lover to surpass your ex's romantic behavior (Of course, this is not a competition, you don't tell him openly) ?(A) Personally, no. I expect the new guy to be whoever he is. I'll learn a few things from him, he'll learn a few things from me, hopefully the positives outweigh the negatives. (B) Yes, I'll be very open with a partner about what I like or don't like. I'll also be open about whatever my past is so he isn't inevitably surprised and feeling like a chump with his dick flapping in the air. I wouldn't want to be unpleasantly surprised by my guy's exes, I extend the same courtesy to him from Day 1. No secrets. Either he's man enough to take it or he's not. Life's too short to waste on nonsense.

3- Is it a guys duty to be romantic, but how romantic are girls?
(A) "DUTY"? Man, if you start off on that note game's over before it starts.
(B) Do guys WANT a woman to be overly romantic? In my experience those are the gals a guy considers psycho/emotional. Guys tend to want sweet, soft, sexy, which comes naturally to a lady and to some girls.

4- What was the most romantic thing that was done to you?
(A) There's a short list of three things that my very first romantic interest did for me, which I've described on G@G quite a few times, so I won't repeat it again.
(B) More recently a guy chased me down after church just to try to make up when we were having a fight. We're still at an impasse, but damn if that wasn't the sweetest thing I've ever seen. He looked terrified doing it... it moved me to make a small concession... to give him a mindfulness assignment, actually. Let's see what happens.

5- What was the most romantic thing you ever did?
AAAAAH. I can't reveal ALL my secrets in one post. That's classified. The lucky guy knows what it was.

1 I don't know why but this "rom com" movies must go away.. I feel like it's diluting the real passion and romance one would have

2 I don't have an ex

3 for me if a guy is being himself that itself is a romantic gesture

4 he took me out of a bad place

5 haven't done the best romantic thing, but will do it in the future
