Did you get him from someone?

Ok RebelDarlin, I will try my hand at this, though this is what I consider Romantic.

The feel of a womans soft hands on the chest, it is that touch that not just feels good on the skin, but IMOP it is saying that "your mine and I give myself to you" not just phisicaly but emotionaly it is kinda like letting a gaurd down.. Instinctivly when My wife does this, it makes me feel like a protector, a lover, and it conveys the most emotional feeling that I cant even put into words that expresses it.. It is like she is giving herself to me, and though it is a phisical touch, it is the emotions that comeout.

Another is laying her head on my lap or chest, and if it is on the chest the hand also is there. That soft warm hand that speaks volums.

The words " I love you" is just as Romantic. Exspecialy comming from a Woman like my wife who puts more stock in action that words. So when she says that, then I am the one on the bow of the boat yelling "I am the king of the world"

It is the small things, the things that some don't even think about until it is gone.
It is the things that make a man feel like a man, the boosting of the ego in a soft suddle way.

As for sexy, Just a long Tshirt will out do any Victoria secret anyday for me.

Hope that helps.

What Slimland said is VERY true for me. The past 3 weeks for me have been HELL around here called my parents both found out that they have very serious health issues on top of their already bad health. However last night even as I has pulling my hair out and trying not to go insane with all the problems I have been dealing with due to my parents my wife out of the blue goes have I told you lately HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. It was the way she said it that told me that things were going to be fine regardlss of what happens with my parents that she will be there for me. Rebel being romantic is sometimes knowing WHEN to pull your partner back from the edge from all the stress they have been carrying also.

BTW, I hope your parents are well, IE.

Got the news today by the end of this year more than likely both will be dead. Mom has 4th stage Colon cancer that has spread already. Dad found out that he has Lung Cancer in his ONLY good lung.

Wow that sucks! My Grandmother just passed a few months ago from cancer, she had stage 5 lung cancer that had spread to the brain.

I am so sorry to hear about your parents, ironeagle. My wife lost both her parents to cancer.

Romance or appreciation?
 

In relationships, to be won or to be renewed, there seems to be stages of romance, appreciation, intimidation, acceptance, raw physical need, and quiet reflection.

I've always looked at relationships a bit like starting and maintaining a fire. You build a strong base of mutual interest, flirtation is the spark to to get the fire started, from there the fire gets it's first taste of real energy and burns hard and bright - but after a time it burns out that initial fuel and comes down to a steady burn; the addition of new material keeps the fire burning, and the occasional throw of gas on the flame get's it to jump - but a strong fire needs a solid fuel to see it through.

Notes in our lunch box, stuffed in our wallet... maybe tell us we don't need to suck it in quite as hard... as men we want to be "your man" and know you want to be with us - not stuck with us...

I had a girl once do the "naked on the bed in just a ****" in the middle of the afternoon, great idea - bad timing - if you have a 20 minute lunch and have to get back....well.... it was hard not to think about her and work, and hardly anything got done.

Do men need dinners and flowers? How about a day where we're told; "...today is your day..do what you want, I won't mind..." a day without a care would be about the most romantic thing a woman could do, a day where we're just men without the fear of losing the house, getting the paycheck or dealing with a boss that seems to less then care.

well, these are just my thought..hold them with a grain of sand. All men are different after all.

Sorry to hear, ironeagle. My granddad died of emphysema. He smoked for years. He wouldn't have lived as long as he did, if he had not have quit.

Jackrabbit I hear you my father quit 12 years ago however the damage was done. Now it is just spending as much time as I can with them. My wife and I are praying that he lives to see our last child born that is due right about the end of Spetember. My mother we think might have 8 months if so Chirstmas is going to SUCK this year AGAIN considering in 97 I had to bury my grandmother on Christmas EVE without being able to say bye to her since my company did not care enough to get me in so I could say good bye to her.
