What does "romance" mean to you?

Love it and I am very romantic.

I however don’t romance and tell.

I like it but I’m not good at it… honey bunch stuffs… yuk.

Only when I get a little wine in me. Otherwise, no.

It is a feeling that is created by mood-setting props: certain words and phrases are romantic, candlelight is romantic, mood music is romantic, flowers are romantic, food can be romantic.

Romance is the infinite possibility in that last centimeter; the space between your fingertips and the the thing that wants to be held.

Romance is all the best of your most lurvely comments above and also romance of…..life itself…..when you think about your best dreams and their fulfillments – best relationships, how you want your living space to be beautifully you, expressing yourself by the way you choose your wardrobe, all your most precious thoughts and feelings, your aspirations, your treasured memories, your imaginings of what it would be like to live out some of the highly fantasized questions you express here. Romance is going back to your childhood days of innocent dreams for your future and re-attaching all the wonder you associated with the things you saw and only partly understood. I salute the whimsical you!

Romance prob has something to do with intimacy but generally I don’t need the mainstream notion of it, its signifiers to know I’m happy. So because we love each other each day as we do every other day, we don’t get to do romantic stuff because we do special stuff for each other all the time. We don’t need Valentine’s Day, so to speak.

Huh, what’s that?

I love thinking of romantic things to do when i’m in a relationship. I tend to do many different things and dont like to give my secrets away.

Holding in my body’s various “exhalations” around her?

Ok but you guys. What does the word “romance” mean?

It means caring enough for another person to want to please them, make them happy and turn them on in many different ways. Doing something romantic for one person my not be the same type of thing to please another so I love to watch and listen to what they really like and find a way to please them.

Romance is in your whole approach to life and relationships. Everyone wants a special connection but if you are romantic you want it to have a certain intensity and beauty. You want to do whatever you can to make each moment special and memorable. Whether it’s candlelight, flowers, a beautiful dress, lingerie, wearing your hair that way he likes it, perfume, cooking a great meal, or eating out at a restaurant where there’s a great atmosphere….and especially making love tenderly and passionately. All of these things are just a way to bring you into a state where you are more focused on each other and able to share feelings on a deeper level. It gets rid of all the distractions and the buzzing and static of everything that draws your attention away from each other.

I think some people feel awkward about being romantic. I’m not sure if that means they just don’t experience romantic feelings or if it means they have trouble recognizing them, owning up to them and expressing them. I think most people probably believe that men have a bigger problem with being romantic than women do, but I have to disagree. I think men don’t like the fake kind of romance. They need to be really in love and then they have the inspiration that tells them what to say and do.

The romance isn’t only for the times you are together. It’s also for the times when you look back and think of times you spent together. A song or a poem might make you think of him. Or even something as funny as his favorite flavor of ice cream. Whenever you see anything that has something to do with your lover it makes you think of him. It’s not obsession, just an awareness that he is out there somewhere in the world living his day and doing his thing and since you can’t always be with him you have to settle for thinking about him and bringing him closer to you in whatever way you can.
That’s what I think being romantic is, for what it’s worth.
And I like it and I think I am good at it!!

Romance is something created and shared between two people. It can only happen if two people contribute to it. A romantic person can be in a relationship without romance, but I’ve found that it doesn’t work out well : )
I love romance and am incredibly romantic. I pay a lot of attention to detail, therefore I am awesome at romance in non cliché ways. I find very original ways to foster romance in a relationship (as long as the desire and need is mutual, otherwise it is a waste of time, feelings and energy). The more receptive the other person is, the more often I will share my romantic notions.
Romance is defined in different ways. For me it’s a feeling resulting in unconditional giving. Such as Yarnlady’s husband giving her the olives because she likes them more then him. To me, that is a very romantic. It is a selfless act to bring joy to the special one in your live. It relays the message that they are truly special to you.
I think the secret to true romance is to find someone that matches your level of romance.

[my apologizes if it was not Yarnlady in the scenario given]

Its the period of time that exists between the first kiss, and the first fuck.

@Only138 Best description i’ve come across. Awesome man.

Keeping a relationship fresh & unpredictable. Don’t get stuck in a rut people!
