When It Comes To Romance, Is It More Important That You Are Romantic Towards Someone Or That You Feel Treated Romantically By Someone?

Most of us are here to eventually become romantically involved with someone. Is it more important to act romantic first or feel romanced first? Or have I been underwater too long, and neither is important?

I see it more as a dance, feel a little, add some, and send it back, they feel a little plus some, and send it back, and so on. To me that is romance. If I give a little, and get nothing back, I'll try a few more times and I'm done. I had a girl friend once that gave nothing back, so I was done. To my surprise she shared she was very interested in me. I said "you don't show it" she said she just wasn't that way. I shared, "I need you to be that way if this going to work" I guess she didn't believe me.

for me, its important that I feel romanced. Of course I would give in return but women just need to feel treasured and I think romance helps in that area.

I like Two's analogy of the dance, it takes both responding to the others gestures. For me a huge part of the thrill of the giving part to the romance is in her response... a very unmistakable look of approval, a passionate embrace or if lucky a warm smoochy... :hearts:

When it comes to romance, I'm usually the giver and the nurturer. I'm the one who writes the love notes, sends romantic music to his voice mail and rubs lotion on his hands while we are watching t.v. at night.

I consider myself very romantic. I have been called a "mush." (I have decided to take that as a compliment!) What I have experienced even with Christian brothers I have dated is that there is no initial romance generated on their part. But I have discovered why: They have no clue, bless their hearts. This has encouraged me to be sure to share my romantic side almost immediately. It does not require much effort on my part. It has become quite natural to reach for someone's hand, cook a meal complete with candles, ask about a favorite color so I may dress to please, and make sure my date knows he has my undivided attention.

To me: Romance is the acknowledgment of your desire, want, need and thankfulness that the other person is in your life. Flowers, special events and the other stuff are representations of that romance you feel.

To me, the physical stuff isn't as important (initially, at least) as those "little things" and we all have different ideas of what "little things" are important. Example: I dated a guy that had paid attention to what drink I always have (I've always got something to drink! :]) Sometimes when he would visit me at work, he would bring me a sweet tea from McDonald's with no ice. I thought that was the nicest thing!!
