Is Romance alive????

Re: Re: Is Romance alive????

I'm not an older man, not a man at all, actually.

But I will say that romance is still alive in this world. I doubted the fact for a number of years after I got divorced. I didn't look for love, I threw myself into work and raising my kids. I didn't think I'd ever find anyone that mirrored what I hoped for in the lines of love and romance. I kind of gave up and went on with life.

I'm one of those old fashioned romantics. When I love, it is with all of my heart and soul. I need to give all of myself to a relationship, and feel the same thing in return. I'd pass on a relationship that I felt couldn't go aywhere.

Last year, I was fortunate to find out that romance is still alive and well in this world. I never expected it, but oh... was it ever worth the wait!

I wish the same for you...

Thanks Arden..I will hold onto that hope!! Your story gives me me something to look forward too, hon!...*hugs*

I think it is still alive and well and hey even living here at Lit...

To me romance is a wonderful dinner for two....soft music while making love.....a whisper in your ear.....a nice compliment that you look nice.....a walk on the beach holding hands and just taking in the sounds.....a cold night in front of a fire place or a warm night looking at the stars.... It could also be Richard Gere riding in a white Limo and climbing a fire escape with flowers in his hand going for the woman he loves....mmmmmmmmmm someday....

I agree with what you say...except...one cannot MAKE thier heart open up, especially if it's been crushed...it takes alot to put all that back together....

I was once a member of the 'crushed heart' club, too. Mostly, crushed dreams... of which the heart is part of. It takes time to learn to trust again. Even then, you still need to guard your heart. It's called self preservation, maintaining your sanity, whatever.

But, I honestly believe that there is someone out there for everyone. Was it Tom Petty that said "the waiting is the hardest part?"

One day, your prince will come

It could go the other way too sweetheart....I may walk away as YOU melt...*winks*

You have already made me melt my lady

Arden I totally agree with you. There is someone out there and it DDOES take time to heal. But there is nothing like being tickled before bed to touch someone heart and soul. I good laugh together. *sighs* A nice snuggle in the morning before getting out of bed.

Any older men out there wanting to see if they can give this 43 year old woman some warm fuzzies?

Don't know if this will give you the "warm fuzzies" but here's a for you. Apply where needed as often as necessary until relief is felt.

Just found this thread!

ROMANCE is alive, and it happens when you actually stop looking for it.

I find ROMANCE each morning when he wakes up with a smile; unexpected flowers; his nice warm hugs; watching him leave for work at a job he truly doesn't enjoy; doing all the grocery shopping and cooking because I cannot manage some things on my own; a "surprise" each and every day we're together.



I wan't looking for love, but not only found it, but realized that someone can be romantic as well, even though his heart was broken years ago.

Thank you, Oman.

.....I mean real Romance...The kind that gives you warm fuzzies when you're in his arms? The kind that makes you think about him from morning till night...the kind that would make you do anything to spend time with him, just listening to him talk, and wanting to touch him...


Wait, maybe thats love.......

Maybe it is love. Not sure.

Even the romance of what you speak has to be felt on both sides of a relationship. (at least I would HOPE it is not one-sided) Maybe that is me being silly and naive.....I still have some hope though

 

[JagFarlane]

I believe romance is still alive...just not as many people practice it anymore

 

[johnniedreamer3]

Romance is VERY alive, at lesat in my heart...

I abosolutely love romance and practice it from my heart! I couldn't live any other way. I guess you could say I'm a very hopeful romantic. I hate the term "hopeless romantic" because it makes it sounds like I'll never get it and that is just not the case. I love both creative romance and simple romance.

On the creative side, I love writing romantic poetry, covering the bed with rose petals, taking bubble baths together or serving that special someone champagne while she soaks in the tub, hour long massages with warm oils and candles and soft music, love notes hidden all over the house and in pockes, cooking a gourmet dinner and eating by candle light....anything fun and creative and special for my lover.

On the simple side, it could be just about anything...candles, stolen kisses, full moons, sunsets, walks in the park, cuddilng on the couch watching a movie, a weekend away, flowers, love notes, little gifts, surprises, new lingerie, chocolate body paints, and tons of snuggling and cuddling...

I guess the most fun is making romance an adventure, when I love a woman, I want to find things that unveil her beauty and make her shine. I want her to feel beautiful and loved. It's so fun discovering what makes her laugh, what makes her feel loved, what makes her feel beautiful, what makes her come alive with passion, where she likes to be kissed, how she likes to be kissed, when she likes to be kissed, what she likes to hear, how she likes to be touched, where she likes to be touched, when she likes to be touched, what takes her breath away...and doing all of that for her....

YES, romance is alive...now...I just need someone to share all that with, who really gets it, loves it, and does the same in return...that would be true romance! Any volunteers?

Wow!!!

You are very close to becoming an endangered species! a 'one-of-a-kind', a relic, at least in my experience.
There aren't many men out there like you sweetie... notice I didn't say there aren't any, I said there aren't many.
(I had to stress that for those men who were about to tell me off )
For us women who truly love to recieve (and give) romance and affection, you would be a treasure.
Good luck in your search ​

Heh, good thing you qualified that..... LOL!

Patience and understanding. All I can do to help heal a broken heart.

I've found that romance in the end, for me, has only led to heartbreak.
At this point I lean to the sexual end of something before I push it any further. That way if I end up getting hurt again, at least I had a fun time leading up to it.

God I hope so......cause even at 38 yo, i still hope for it. I want someone who can't wait to be with me again even when we're apart. Someone who'll drive 5 hours to see me for 1...and be happy about it. Someone who listens and actually remembers that i said my favorite flowers are carnations. Someday i might give up hoping for that...but not yet.

I gotta tell ya, I love the honesty of this post!!!

Nice to see this thread taking off again.......I started this at a very low point in my life. The broken heart is healing but the anger and the unfairness is still alive and kickin'!!! Anyone have any helpful idea's on how to lose that??

Well, there is still the option of a road trip to have face to face closure. Let all that anger and hurt out, spit in his face and try to go on with the healing love and support of family and friends. I know that trying to show letting go of the resentfulness of it on your own isn't working.

I want to see you whole again. No matter what else happens.

Ya know, I've been reading this self help on stress book..and thats one of the things they prescribe for the type of stress I'm going thru right now...health related.....

Back rubs, aromatherapy, drugs and meditation were just some of the things they talked about helping non immediate stress. (one time stress, is what they called it)

Thank you for the offer, doll.....*hugs*

to make you smile,i like seeing people smile!

Is romance alive? Couldnt find his name or number in the phonebook!
Seriously,romance is alive,you just have to leave yourself open for the opportunity! I found out how to get over the hurt of lost opportunities, You
dont let it influence your present time,and thus leaves you open for someone even better to enter your life. Then,instead of feeling resentment,you feel relief
from getting out of the relationships you did
