Is romance dead?

Two reasons for buying a girl a big bunch of flowers:

1. Because you love her, and want to make her happy.

2. Because you want to sleep with her.

Is Option 2 romantic? Do you think many guys use Option 2?

I doubt that's true. I sure hope not anyway.

Ah this should be where the bitter side'll take over and I start proclaiming love doesn't exist! But no

Yeah but it's not cool to be a romantic.

Romance isn't a thing i see very often. Everyone thinks that if they act romantic they'll look "geeky" or "gay" so everyone ends up strutting about acting like the only reason they're with someone is cos they're "stunnin" or "shagable". Even my own ex couldn't tell me that he wanted back with me cos he really loved me and missed me cos he thought it would ruin his rep. Pathetic really.

That's called immaturity... *some* guys grow out of it eventually

As a friend told me at the end of high school, all girls look for is a nice big cock. Words of wisdom...in a strange way.

my fave romantic gesture is the random rose or even message out of the blue. not too pricey, and just shows u are thinking about them for no particular reason.

I think one of my favourites was when my bf and I had the house to ourself. I came home from work and there was a note on the front door saying "Don't talk to me, go upstairs. I've run a bath, I'm cooking dinner." It showed he cared about me being tired after work and gave me space to relax on my own so I wouldn't be harangued by questions. Other favourites include having a wonderful hotel in a medieval citadel and then watching the bastille day fireworks from the ramparts (a bit pricier!), a surprise neck rub after I've been sat writing an essay for a few hours - and then leaving me alone to finish it, walking into a room with lots of lovely candles and a big "welcome home" sign that he'd obviously spent ages making, cleaning and tidying my room when I was at a supervision and I'd been stressed all week and had no time - coming home was a dream rather than a nightmare!, making a video of my home town when I was home sick... the list goes on. He's too good to me!

I think that's definitely an age thing. Also; it's the sort of thing you come to expect from lads who spend a liiiiitle too much time haning around with 'gangs' of mates.

Someone who's too embarrassed to tell you how they really feel about you for fear of their mates ragging on them is a total lemming unworthy of your time in the first place.

What ever happened to romance in relationships? Maybe it's just because everyone here is younger but it seems like people here have boyfriends/girlfriends for all reasons other than actual love or feelings.

Is it just me?
