The nicest thing my hubby bought me for Christmas is a book I had wanted to read - The Client - it was coming on telly and I had said I would love to read it first. Couldn't believe he had actually listened
He then went a step further :cool: and had the decency to have an argument with me
so I could read it while we were not talking (2 whole days :rolleyes:) I thought "how considerate of him" :cool: 0 -

Now i would take exception to ALL men being stupid when it comes to romance. From the sound of it from here, there are plenty of us out there! (Well a good few anyway!)
I think its important for a couple to get to know what the other person likes/considers romantic so that you can focus your energies on that. And vice versa of course0 -

My boyfriend is a total sweetie. During the summer when we first got together, he'd walk me home every night from wherever we were and walk back up the big hill to his house, and not get in til about 3am and had to be up again at 6am to paint with his dad! Bless him, little trooper.
One time he walked down in the rain just to call to me after my late shift in the pub I was working in. And he came all the way into town just to meet me for a half hour before my lecture.
He got me a lovely promise ring I wanted for our first anniversary (even though he was a broke student)
Wrote me really sweet letters and sends lovely texts and makes me cards... Recently he caught me completely off guard with a diamond necklace for my Graduation present.
He's always there for me when I'm in my hour of need... Yea, I'm going to marry that one 0 -
34wks pregnant, I had severe oedema. SPD, pre-eclampsia, etc, etc - a complete state & was lying in theatre having an emergency section...cue lots of gore & my husband tells me "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met - thank you for being my wife"....bless him!

Well when I was being sectioned my hubby WAS holding my hand, but the only 'romantic' thing he could think of to say was 'Thanks be to **** I'm a man' and he proceeded to say it through the deliveries of the next and the next and the next..............:rolleyes:Ickle Magoo wrote: »34wks pregnant, I had severe oedema.

AND I still married him

When he cried after both my labours, and told me that I was a wonderful person and had given him the best thing in the world (meaning his children).
I thought that was lovely.....
A male trainee ambulance driver who was there to witness my daughters birth cried the whole way through it.....we didn't know each other! It wasn't romantic! Blubbering fool, and myself, not a tear!
My ex told me (when we knew we were splitting up a couple of weeks later - I was moving away etc.) that James Blunt "goodbye my lover" could be "our song" after we split up. The song still gets to me!! Romantic? Not quite sure.....after I'd made the move, he was constantly on the phone, and leading me to believe that he was going to move to where I'd moved and make a go of it (if that's what I was sure I wanted, because he was sure but needed to be sure that I was sure???) because he missed me so much. blah blah fkn blah. I missed him too but said very little...didn't fully trust him I suppose......One night he rang me from the pub begging me to drive (2 hours away) and pick him up because he loved and missed me so much. I hung up. Text him (feeling guilty) a few hours later saying I loved him aswell and missed him but he could ring me for a chat about it when he sobered up etc. Anyways, what was his ex (who he couldn't stand supposedly as she was so dull and boring and lifeless and hated sex and moan moan moan) when we were together, rang me the next day, "why are you texting my boyfriend telling him that you love him" etc.....seems he'd been living with her (fast mover) as soon as I'd left and they were now planning a family - they're since engaged and have a baby daughter :eek:
Bassstard!
(and he had the cheek to text me a few weeks after the baby was born saying he was bored and would love to meet up with me for a weekend!) :mad:
Ok - this is supposed to be a nice romantic thread - sorry ladies! I suppose, some of my experiences have killed alot of the romance I once had inside! can't even remember the good times now.0 -

Now, I'm no experts on the wimmin folk.
BUT, when I were a nipper in me early 20s, I was a total romantic. The ladies didn't like that so much.
Then as I got older, I realised that they like guys who are a bit more nasty, and a lot less romantic. So, I became one of them.
Then women liked me a lot more.So, I stuck with that.
So now I'm totally out of the way of being romantic. Haven't done anything romantic for a burd in a long time.
But I'm single, so what would I know
But I do think that what I've said has an element of truth to it. I'm sure a lot of the guys would agree with me too. Maybe? Possibly?0 -

I would agree to some extent there tallaght, but saying that i think an even mix of both. Yes girls like there men to be men, most of the time. But a bit of romance or gentle gesture every now and again goes a long long long way!
So basically a little bit from A and a little from B = WIN!
Oh and FYI.... We don't like being called "burds"0 -

Just saw this post.
When I was a medical student, I had "wet eyes" when I delivered my 1st baby.
But, being a bloke, I walked out of the room, and said to the boys "I dunno why all these benders get so emotional about delivering a screaming little parasite".
I've got an image to think of
I still get a lump in me throat from time to time at a delivery, despite having been at probably thousands of them.0 -

I wouldn't know what to do now
Even complimenting them on a nice outfit is a minefiled that I'm too scared to navigate, after a few fruitcake experiences lol0 -

hahahaha, despite my well travelled, cultural ways, I'm still a mong when it comes to romanticizms
I used to be so good at it when I was younger.
By the way, there are outrageously hot women in Bev Hills. I would learn to be romantic if I lived there 0 -

How about the boardwalk at Venise beach? If it was warm and not raining when you were out and about, then you might have seen a few scantly clad sporting their stuff on roller blades and whatnot?tallaght01 wrote: »By the way, there are outrageously hot women in Bev Hills.

Lots of hippy burds, to be honest. Telling me how evil war is
And middle eastern blokes trying to sell me watches.
Some cool Kooky shops though. Really interesting place.
But, if I were to change my non-romantic ways, I'd defo have to be living in Bev Hills LOL0 -

Oh my! Have you redeemed yourself by saying that you DO remember birthdays and anniversary's - I am impressedthelastangryman wrote: »They will be. Oh they will be. My main problem is I don't actually get what romance is. Does it mean showing up at her work and whisking her to Paris? Or remembering an anniversary?
Aren't those just normal things a boyfriend does?.
I'm married 17 years and my hubby still can't get mine right:) 0 -
