ORIGINAL: Vampyrefledgling *laugh* I like this thread. Romance manifests in many ways. Personally, silly things like opening a door or keeping a hand on the small of my back are just as romantic as cards and poetry. It's true, not all women like roses and chocolate (I do), some just find the day to day things romantic enough. I am of the mind that everyone is romantic, no matter what protests I may hear to the contrary. Some just don't know how to show it and some don't know how to accept it. ~Fledgling You are right, the type of romance I respond to isn't the hallmark holiday brand. I respond to getting slapped in the ass as I walk by, I respond when he creates a sceene that emulates something I mentioned in a conversation months before, hell I respond very well when presented with a CD that I've not gotten around to buying myself but covetted. I also show romance by listening, by noticing and by doing my best to give him what he needs at the moment, and sure, I'll surprise him with an occasional gift of something that I know he wants but hasn't bought for himself yet. But to buy a dozen roses just because our society says that it's appropriate on one day on the calender, that's not true romance, that's a cop out. So now y'all can go cancel those orders for roses and chocholate for me, wasn't that romantic of me ;)
