An Intellectual Guy (Male, San Francisco, 46-55, Teaching) asked:


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?

To most women romance is very impotant cause we like to be romanced and also be romantic too. For me, to be romaced by a guy is a great thing and especially to know that he did it for me and himself and he has feelings for me (not just doing it to manipulate me into having sex). Romance is a really big thing in most relationships and romance can be expressed in different ways it doesn't have to always be in that walk on the beach kinda thing, it can be you and your partner just acting crazy having fun, some women percieve that as romance also. basically if you do something sweet for a girl or a girl doing something sweet for a guy it is romantic cause it comes from how the person feels about the other person or eachother.

I don't consider myself a super-romantic person, especially if it's early in a relationship. It's still important to me, as long as it's authentic and sincere. I mean, if a guy does something "romantic" only because he feels obligated to, in order to get what HE wants out of the relationship, that won't last very long. On the other hand, if he does something "romantic" because he wants to do something nice for his girlfriend, to show her that he cares for and appreciates her, most of the sane women I know would LOVE that.

Hope that helps!

Personally, I read a lot of romance novels, and the thing that ALWAYS gets the girl is never stuff like flowers, or candy, or boring crap like that. It's always something a little imaginative and thoughtful that really tugs the heartstrings. The key is to listen to her and pick up on subtleties that she's interested in stuff. If she's into the artsy fartsy, do some homework and surprise her with an eclectic gallery opening or something. If she has a lot of pets, she's obviously into animals, and a visit to a stable for a lesson (if she doesn't already know how to ride) might be a fun date.

Just remember, if you snag 'the one' with these methods, don't be surprised if you 'train' her to expect it all the time. ;)

I'm not a romancing type of girl, I guess I'm not that sentimental. I love it when guys show me through their actions how much they love and care for me. That touches me.
