Is romance dead? Are there any men out there that still believe in romance? Any ladies out there lucky enough to have a romantic man? I'm starting to feel like everything is about sex and the romance has gone...and it makes me sad.

A Player (Male, Toronto, 29-35, Executive) asked:

What's romance? Must it be serendipitous? Or can romance be planned? Is it still romantic if someone does something KNOWING what effect it will have on you? Is it romance when a guy gives you flowers because he knows that it's your favourite? Or is it romance when he 'happens' to give you flowers and they 'happen' to be your favourite?

What if you meet a guy. A cassanova for lack of better terminology. He knows what to say, he knows what to do. And he knows how to push all the right buttons to make you melt. Is it still romantic if he felt nothing behind those actions?

Is it romantic if he did it for his amusement?

Romance, I need help ladies, I can sense that my girlfriend is looking for more romance out of our relationship, (not that its bad or anything just more) and I was wondering what ideas you’d be able to give me, or things that guys have done for you, just some ideas to help me get my motor running in new directions, I’d like to stun her with romance three dates in a row, kinda knock her off her feet, thanks for the help

Is romance a phenomenon of a sexually repressive society? Is it possible to have romance in a society where the big dating question is whether or not to have sex on the 3rd or 5th date? Is it possible to have romance and be sexually 'liberated'?

What do you think?

I got great answers on my question about sense of humor, so here is another one. I read in a lot of surveys on dating that women love romance. On line it is commonly mentioned that women want a romantic guy. So my question to women is: Is romance important, how would you like a man to show he is romantic and what does romance mean to you?

Can you go back? Waaayy back? With a Twist!

No romance without finance, no romance without finance

Girl, nothin' in life is free
That's why I'm asking you, what can you do for me?
I've got responsibilities
So I'm lookin' for a woman who's got some money in her hand

'Cause nothin' from nothin', leaves nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to be with me
Oh-oh, life is just serious, love's too mysterious
A fly guy like me needs security
'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
No romance without finance, I said no romance without finance

Does this make me a manwhore? ;)

Guys... what is your definition of romance? Also, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most desired) how much do you desire romance to be a part of your relationship?

Hey, a guy just asked a great, general question on romance. So I'd love to know how you guys feel about it. What is romance to you?

When your girl tells you she wants more romance, what does she mean? More sex? More expensive dinners? More little presents? I mean, I don't 'get' romance and what it means. Any help?

Do any of you believe in romance?????? I'm not talking about flowers everyday,but a gesture anything???? I just stopped seeing someone because there was ZERO romance. Just curious.
