    Default A Serious Question ( about men)

    I am really bad at this kind of stuff (obviously why I'm still single at 50)! What do men consider 'romantic'? I don't mean sexy, I can figure that part out, but what is romantic to a man. Or do they even want, or need, romance?

    Do guys need or want romance? You ever figure that out write a book and you wont ever have to work again. Things I consider romantic:

    1) A candle light dinner at home with soft music in the background.
    2) A note in my lunchbox.
    3) Call me at work just to say you are thinking about me.
    4) Rub my back.
    5) If you hate scary movies just curl up on the couch and watch one with me, I promise I will protect you.
    6) Slow dance with me in the livingroom.

    Is this any insight?

    How about:

    making your favorite diner just because?
    letting you win at bowling?
    asking you how your day was and really be interested?

    I do things like that ( including making his favorite brownies) but I'm told that they are more practical, than romantic. Hence my issue: I think that men and women have very different ideas on what is romantic. To me it's the little things that show you care about someone. And I was told specifically that letting him win at bowling or miniature golf was condescending. Maybe I shouldn't tell him that I let him win.

    Was it Tanya Tucker who had the song "Little Things" I think Kenny Rogers had one titled the same.

    i agree that it is the little things most of the time. he may not realize it, but when you stop he will notice. then he will ask - why don't you bake me brownies anymore?

    Throughout known history men have been expected to be the ones to create the romance in a relationship. If man fails to keep the romance wagon rolling, he loses the ultimate prize.

    Men don't expect to be romanced, and may not even notice if they are romanced.

    Favorite dinner? Nice, I was hungry and I like this stuff.
    Watching a movie you don't like with me? Huh, she must really be bored, I'd better hide the remote for awhile.
    Backrub? Wohooo, I'm gonna get some!

    A note in the lunchbox or an unexptected call or text, yeah, those are good and will even be seen as romantic. Don't expect many guys to want or even notice much deeper romance then things like that though.

    Shouldn't it be a 2 way street? If men don't expect, or notice, being romanced, what is it that they want? And why do I keep hearing that I don't have a romantic bone in my body?

    Rebel it is the Little things that the women in mens life do that we think are romantic. However in my case for me it goes when my wife reaches and just wants to hold my hand or cuddles up next to me in bed or goes I'll get the 2 year old ready for bed tonight since you have her all day since our roles are reversed here. But the biggest thing for my wife and I is always keeping the line of commo open we both know when those close that things are getting bad and we need to realize that HEY there are 2 in this marriage and we need to get back in touch with each other.

    But romance isnt always planned. One of the best memories I have is the time I was siding our new garage. It was a late Sunday afternoon, I was on top of 3 sections of scaffolding when she came back from town. She climbed to the top then pulled up a bag with a box of fried chicken, a bottle of wine and plastic cups. We sat there snuggled against each other eating chicken and watching the sunset. She said it was just a spur of the moment thing.

    Doh..... last time I was on the roof (the garage) I was hanging Christmas lights... the ladder fell and I yelled for a half an hour trying to get someone out of the house to help me get down......

    It is a great memory, Jumbo... One to treasure and apparently you are

    Romance is:

    -telling the person you love that you do, during the most unexpected of times.
    -talking to the person you love, and actually listening to them because you want to hear what they have to say.
    -looking at the person you love, and telling them with only a gaze that they are the most important person in your life.
    -wrapping your arms around the person you love, just because you want to be near them.
    -doing as much as you possibly can when the person you love is sick so that they don't have to.
    -giving as much as you take. Giving more than you take.

    Like for me my wife is having cravings BIG time called Pregnant with our LAST child I get the snip in 3 weeks she gets cut tied and BURNED at the delivery. She is wanting some of my Chicken Wings and Home Made Crab Rangoons.
    She also is ther for me after I end up flopping like a fish. For me the biggest part of romance is alway knwign tha when I need that little bit of something to make me feel better even if I am sore as hell form back to back seizures she is there for me.
