Is Romance really dead ?

[ratherabsurd1]

I see it occasionally but there seems to be so little of it anymore

 

[Lily13]

In my world it's not

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=956518

Yes, there are mostly women that post......but I do believe men are highly romantic. Maybe just shy talking about /showing it.

In many ways some men are more romantic than women. For instance ... some men compliment women on their eyes, figure, etc. However as many men will tell you ... American women simply do not accept compliments well. They are often met with, "You've got to be kidding" ... or ... "Give me a break" ... and the WORST I ever heard is, "I already have one asshole in my pants." Perhaps it's a defense mechanism ... but it gets in the way of true affection.

I think so

Not sure if it were ever alive at least with american woman?
Perhaps, a long time ago.
Woman do not receive romance well.
It is taken as someone is being nice , genuine, and caring of them. American woman do not like nice, they like bad boys
Bad boys do not do romance
Hence, woman seem not to be fans of it, so why bother with it?

It is a good question. I am gentlemanly, but at some point one has to state their dating desires and expectations and that may come out as being too forward. Better to set the boundaries early so that we don't waste each other's time. Seems to me anyway.

Isn't romance like Jon Snow? I don't watch thrones but isn't he supposed to come back?

Or maybe it's like the walking dead-my other unfavorite show-not dead, just slower with pieces missing.

Either way, Dr. Frankenstein's expertise could be useful

Romance to me is core of love and fun. There can be twists too

Should be that way

Contrary to what some say, there truly are hopeless romantics out there, and believe it or not, it's applicable to men and to women alike. My thought is that people in general are scared to really show who they really are, for any number of reasons; no one wants to feel the sting of rejection. Here, however most simply want to tap and run...or is that just repetitively tap tap tapping, amongst other things? In spite of this, some of us enjoy the seduction...the build up...to something great...again and again...

Maybe for some but not for us, ever.

I certainly hope not! It's funny, I was thinking about posting a similar thought myself but figured people would think "what a dumb thing to say on lit! This site is about nothing but raw, filthy, abundant sex." And while I have a mind that is so corrupt and naughty I can't (won't) share with most people, I am the most hopeless romantic in the world!

This!!
I agree. I am a hopeless romantic. I enjoy all the bells and whistles. I love using my words and want someone who knows how to use theirs. For me. The seduction is all in the mind. If a man can seduce my mind, the physical will be explosive.

I sure hope not!!!

If romance is truly dead I have nothing else to live for. I love the seduction and passion and the breaking down of inhibitions until she finally gives in to the temptation and realizes that the romance is real and it will never stop.

Wow, I like that last response!!

 

[Seamus44]

Maybe just on life support and wasn't smart enough to make an advanced directive

 

[ratherabsurd1]

As Long as I live and breathe . Romance will never be dead. It is the spark and catalyst to anything that means anything in this world. Romance has to start from a genuine heart. No heart no life is how I see it

 

[ratherabsurd1]

Genuine is the only way anything can last. The physical is so fleeting and has to be refilled over and over through eternity.
