Sometimes its an effort, but you need romance, and its certainly not about a cheap cop out like sending flowers - its about being attentive to your partner and pampering them on occasion and truly getting to know them and what they like. Remember its a two way street - women have to be romantic to their man as well.

i'll give you a hint about men, men are less likely to be romantic if their significant others don't do romantic things for them. its the honest truth - the more you are romantic to him - he will often return that romance 10 times over. it doesn't have to be anything big either, it can be a simple compliment, you taking initiative to hold his hand or arm, supporting him - very simple things. but when women are not romantic with men, men are alot less likely to do things for her.

Definitely, there needs to be romance in a relationship otherwise it's just a friendship. My boyfriend does stuff like bring me flowers so often.. but he'll do little things like he drove to my house to clean snow off my car when I was upset about something. (this was over the winter obviously) or he'll hold my hand.. or grab me around the waist and kiss me. Fun stuff like that keeps the relationship going.

I absolutely believe in romance. What is wonderful about romance is that it is dynamic. Sometimes subtle. Sometimes overt. It takes effort and thought, and it is worth every moment.

Romance is usually reciprocal, and is best if it is. It is depressingly painful to be with a totally unromantic partner. But it is very important that we don't define their gestures. Part of romance is knowing the other person and when something is from the heart. Constantly seeking the nuances of the other part of what makes romance work. It is truly selfless.

You will find it by giving it.

Totally believe in romance. I stopped in a card store the other day to get one of those cute little "write your own message on the inside cards" because I thought she'd really enjoy that. Romance is more than the words, and sometimes more than the actions too...

I think romance is the key to a relationship. Some people don't know how to be romantic, but when you try to show them, they get an attitude and think that you don't appreciate them. If I was with someone that didn't show me any type of romance, then I would get rid of their tale too.

As a passionate man, I surely do! I think there are many ways to be romantic and it doesn't have anything to do with flowers.
I love passion,affectionate,ro mantic type women.

I am a diehard romantic!! I send ecards.......sing songs.....buy her little things.....hold hands walking in the mall, you name it! I am not a hopeless romantic because I found someone that appreciates it all!

Stopping seeing him was the right thing....never settle in life....it is too short and the right person is out there for you!

Good luck and have a great week!

I believe in romance! Someone romanticly inclided is fabulous, however, day to day living steps in and it's hard to think romantic when you deal with the stresses of life. I'd be much quicker to break up with someone who I couldn't count on to be there in times of trouble than someone standing there with a box of candy. Now if I could just get the candy WHEN he went out for tampax THAT would be romantic.
