Are you a romantic? How do you show your romantic side to your love one? To keep romance alive?

[Pinay_ako]

If you get me food, I’m yours forever ♾ 🤣

[ObscuredBeyond]

I remember her birthday. I will make a point to make time for her, no matter how busy I am otherwise. I seek to make every moment count, even if that means bonding over eating lime Jello together over Skype.

Many mistakenly believe that love forms as the steamy moment approaches climax, when the man can no longer hold it in, and the woman can no longer hold back from letting out moans loud enough to be heard from two blocks away. But that's just a Hollywood porn fantasy.

The real bond, and sex isn't even required, is when she's drifting off to sleep. The flame is flickering in the background, highlights in her hair reflecting this. He's admiring her sleepy face, stroking her hair and shoulder. Admiring how the fire light's radiance waxes and wanes across her face.

So invested he becomes, he can't bare the thought to ever abandon what he now has. Even if they'd be terrible at sex, they're perfect for everything else. And for that, he won't leave her.

He tries to doze off next to her. The crackling fireplace seemingly symbolic of their undying commitment. The wind may be killer chiller, and hungry coyotes may prowl outside, but the fortress of lovers will sleep peacefully through the winter storm. They'll awaken to one another, with the same delight as a child on Christmas Day.

That's the kind of romantic I'd like to be.

[Pinay_ako]

When someone remembers little details about me, that melts me

[ObscuredBeyond]

I remember you saying that you like... ahem... mouth games. And how you liked the reply where I said I'm better with my fingers. That was a weird thread, but I do recall it. I'd bring up more interesting trivia, but I feel like I'd have to know you in person for it to be more sincere. That might never happen, but a fellow can dream.

[Grubhub]

Damn that’s 4 tacos lol, that’s something a guy my size should eat and I’m 6”5 lol

[Grubhub]

Whoever that girl is… 🚽 💩

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 🤣 it ain’t me

[Grubhub]

I realized that later

[Pinay_ako]

lmao but you're MOST HELPFUL

[Grubhub]

How?

[Pinay_ako]

lmao you are

[Grubhub]

I was asking how am I the most helpful

[Pinay_ako]

Coz you are 😝 don’t overanalyze 🤣

[Grubhub]

Ok then

[bubblegunnn]

Im actually could be a romantic kinda person.. because once he is my man, i will give him lots of love, respect, kindness, affection.. im good at cooking so i can cook his fav food, his cravings, i can make the dessert he want, i can massage him, feed him, cuddle him whenever he feel upset or not okay, i can please him, i will take care of him anytime even when he's sick, and everythings i couldnt mention.. i want him to be open about things to me nothing to hide, if he doesn't like the way i treat him, i want him to tell me so i can fix it and learn.

Only.. if he's loyal and committed.. just me, one and only.. or my love for him decrease with time and slowly dying.

Because being alone will always be better than being with someone who doesn't value who you really are.

[katestar]

I agree with you.

[bubblegunnn]

Lets high five ✋

[Pinay_ako]

Let’s high 👋 ladies

[bubblegunnn]

✋ women stand together

[Mess96]

Damn that looks so good!! I’ve been dying for Mexican food!
My main ones are quality time and affection

[Mess96]

Thank you for the MHO

[Manab]

Perhaps, I cook not just good but great food from all over the world. I write poetry and stories that get published in magazines (not too famous though). I play some instruments too. I have done that for people I liked, like cooking or writing for them but those were never enough. Money and looks are the main factors for guys these days and being a student I don't have much.

My best kinda date can be trekking and camping on a hill point under the stars where beside the campfire I can tell stories known by only very very few people on earth. Like secrets from ancient civilizations, history or astronomy, and science. But I think there are no women who are into that nowadays.

[Pinay_ako]

You’re wrong. There’s still women out there who like stuff like that

[Manab]

Well haven't met anyone ever, but have seen the ones that claim they are also going with guys with money or fun in different ways like party dudes. I don't have expectations anymore and kinda hate those romantic sides of mine.

[HighValue]

I'd like to make a hand made card that would include pictures of things we did together in the past/memories and include captions of what made those moments special/memorable. Too bad in my experience that kind of stuff has NEVER been appreciated, only jewelry going places, and money have been appreciated.

[Pinay_ako]

Oh so you’re one of those! I like stuff like this! A collection of memories on the wall or on a scrapbook! I used to make mixtapes too and give it as a gift to those special people ❤️! How can someone not appreciate the time and effort and thoughts behind these spontaneous actions? Romance is dead for some 😑 or just don’t know how to appreciate it when it’s right there in their faces

[HighValue]

I tried handmade stuff for my ex-wife when we were together many years ago and she just got angry that it wasn't jewelry instead. I also got her multiple albums (CDs) of her favorite music artists back then and that made her mad too.

[Pinay_ako]

I tell you, people who are only impressed with money 💰 and power and material things, won’t be in relationships very long because they’re there for the things not the person! Once the cash cow is done, they’ll go for the next person with deeper pockets!

[HighValue]

Yep. I divorced her. I had my stuff (car, etc.) in my parents' name so she got nothing too, even though she tried. lol
I like sentimental stuff (the mushy emotional stuff) when in a relationship, so I am not compatible with someone that isn't the same way.
Glad to see someone else that thinks the same way. :)

[Pinay_ako]

Yea there’s still some
Of us romantics out there

[qwert1234]

No I am not, or at least I don't think about it.

I don't think anything I do is romantic. I just do things at random because I love the person and I wanted to see her happy.

I just help them if they need help, if I am free. If more serious things arise, I can drop what I am doing.

We can do candle lit dinners.

We can go to spa.

We can travel together.

[Pinay_ako]

Those are romantic

[Gent207]

I'm a hopeless romantic, cheesy text messages throughout the day, little poems I'm various places for her to find, planning little outings evening it's just to her favorite store. Always ringing her that she's beautiful and encouraging her to pursue her dream.

My primary love language is acts of service, so going the extra mile is how I best communicate my feelings. i live for the romance ❤

[Pyrofox]

In my case it would be probably cheesey romantic park dates with candles and the whole 9 yards lol. Where my girlfriend can just be like glued to my back and enjoy all the great food smells and I guess my smell if she is that addicted to me lol. And chuckle if she tries to sneak nibbles mid cooking lol cause her stomach starts uncontrollably rumbling lmao.

[BullShark]

This is a toughie since I haven't seen anyone for over three years now. And to be honest, no, I never really saw myself as a romantic either.

Back when I was dating, I'd usually just try to be as spontaneous as I could be. I was always good at reading people so I'd read her and almost instantly understand what she wanted or what she was feeling and approach the matter accordingly.

[Ευδεμονια]

In general I define myself as a romantic, since I value actions before words, I think love and caring has to be expressed via true actions that make the other person feel secure and protected. Unluckily, I never had occasion to show my true self so it’s all in potential 😅

[Jamie05rhs]

I am VERY romantic. And I'm actually very sad that I don't have anyone to be romantic to. I think it is crushing my spirit lol. I feel like a cook without a kitchen. Or an artist without an easel. Or Michael Phelps without a swimming pool. Or Jordan without a hoop.

[whiskeyontherocks]

Just off the top of my head: Bake birthday cakes
sing embarrassingly funny on purpose
Surprised her with her favorite summer mixed drink
Brought lunch to work
Open the door all the time
Bring home ice cream
Candy flower arrangements
Molded clay
Welded art work
Payed off student debt
Framed art / pictures
Relaxation, Massage, and Sexy time solely for her
Etc.

[DizzyDesii]

What is that in the pic? Pulled pork tacos? I seen something similar for this one restaurants but im unsure of what it is

[Pinay_ako]

Tbh 😂 I know it’s tacos but I don't know which one ☝️. 🤣 it’s the meme I grabbed 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

Man i gotta know cause I've been seeing pics and it looks so good. @NathanDavis is that pulled pork tacos in the above pic or something else?

[DizzyDesii]

@Pinay_ako i think i found em. Birria tacos

[NathanDavis]

lmfao... in my semi-professional opinion, this could be "birria tacos"

which is usually a stew (that's why you see the red marinade tortilla and the dip as well) and the meat is usually beef or lamb

the stew is definitely some kind of adobo chillies based stew/sauce

however, if you want them to be marinated pulled pork tacos, I can make those for you any time, and I am sure you would be able to find them around as well... lol

[DizzyDesii]

@NathanDavis yea i read something about goat meat. I finally tried lamb and didn't like it so i’d prob just want beef lol. But it looks yummy

[NathanDavis]

goat, lamb, sheep... there's a few different ways to cook, marinate and prepare all these, so the taste might be different, depending on the place

same goes with pork... some will be much better than others

[Pinay_ako]

@NathanDavis now you’re making me hungry 🤤

[NathanDavis]

let's do it then...

Tacos al Pastor... the best kind of pulled pork, marinated tacos

[DizzyDesii]

@NathanDavis i definitely prefer beef but I’d try at least one pulled pork

[NathanDavis]

beef can be done as well... the grill and pit set up is ready for the holidays

[Zolly99999]

I try to be romantic. I aways open car doors ( all doors really ) . On a day she is not feeling her best I would buy her a single red rose to show her how much I care. Give her massages of hard days at work when she got home. . Stuff like that.

[purplepoppy]

I'm not sure how you'd eat that outside without a knife and folk

[Pinay_ako]

Old fashion way wit your hands 🙌

[Autember]

I don't know how romantic I really am lol but I will bring my boyfriend food, or little gifts that I think he would like. Also doing sexy things unexpectedly, he seems to enjoy those lol I think sex is romance for guys right? 😂

[Andres77]

Wash the dishes. Do laundry, cook.

fill up her tank with gas. Grocery shopping

[Pinay_ako]

That is romantic! The gas thing

[ChiTown33]

Yes. But it's been my experience that women do not like romance. If you do something romantic generally they just mock you for it.

[Pinay_ako]

Those women don’t know how to appreciate you. Romance is always alive!

[ChiTown33]

🥰🙂👍

[Spotifyplaylist]

(This is what I did in my last relationship) I am definitely a romantic I show my romantic side by sending her favorite flowers and a love letter almost every month.

[Descending_Soul]

I think I have tried sway the mood always to fit her vibe and then taken the role of a pleaser. Make sure that the environment is inviting and easy to settle with and bring in small details like enhancing the environment, our closeness, sweet talking or have something edable to offer. But I think the romance sparks from how you lay your eyes on the other one. Do you have wonderful thoughts or less wonderful thoughts.

[TallAnon]

Nah, I'm not. Every time I've tried to be, it was also not really received well, so I stopped trying.

[Pinay_ako]

What have you tried so far that’s not received well?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like taking a girl out to dinner/supper to show my Romance side or making her the favorite food that she likes to eat for me to show her my Romantic side.

[Marshymallow]

The taco is distracting but yes yes I usually am. With someone I like I’m very affectionate.
