You know jay, my old man's idea of romance was just stated with this perfect example. He asked if I was hungry, which I assume to mean "Fix me dinner" so I said no. I looked in the oven and saw something cooking and kissed him on the cheek and said, "Ah, are you fixing dinner?" to which he replied, "For me, and if you touch it, I'll break your fingers." He was only joking and will share dinner, but that's about all the romance I get. (And I honestly don't want anyone to think that my boyfriend is abusive in any way, it was only a joke, but that's his sense of humor. And lack of romance....)
Wow! I can't believe you remember the first date you went on with your last girlfriend. I can't remember the first date I went on with my boyfriend. I can't remember the last date we went on, perhaps I'm trying to forget it? You sound like a perfect gentleman. Could you give my boyfriend lessons? Can they be trained? Is he hopeless? Should I just give up you think?
I always enjoy it when men order for me, but maybe that's because I have a hard time deciding what to order. Except the cocktails. Ordering the wine is a must, but let me order my own cocktail. And opening the car door, and dropping me off at the door, pulling the car around, things like that. That's always very sweet. My boyfriend never does it. Then, after I walk 3 miles in the snow to the car, he'll mention, "Oh, I guess I could have pulled the car around for you." Well, yeah, I guess you could have. He does open doors for me though, always. At least he has some sort of manners. So, some sort of romance is very nice but I'm not used to it. I attended a wedding and a nice man held out his arm to show me to my seat and I thought he was trying to shake my hand. I just had a confused look on my face for a second. I then realized I was supposed to take his arm while he showed me to my seat and explained to him that my boyfriend is a caveman.
I suppose I'm a bit skeptical of that romance stuff anyway. I mean who really believes in it? I know there are 4 times a year that I get roses, and several times a year that I receive flowers. Other than that, I don't see any other signs of "romance." Does anyone else? Now I'm curious...
