with your help, of course. after last week’s post, i got a little curious about whether or not my definition of romance is generally the same as everyone else’s, or if im on a whole nother planet. & while a few of you mentioned that you really like the idea of a fancy dinner, for the most part it seems we’re all on the same page. being romantic, it appears, isn’t about spending more money, it’s about something more intangible. both guys and girls weighed in, and here is how you described it. romance is about:
1.making the other person feel special. like, knowing the way she likes her coffee and making it for her or playing him his favorite music.
2.putting in equal effort. it’s romantic when you feel that the other person wants you as much as you want him.
3.surprising her with little gifts, just because she’s on your mind.
4.taking time out of your day or week for him. it could be for just a moment, but it shows that you care.
5.sending unexpected text messages, just to tell him he was on your mind.
6.being vulnerable with her.
7.having him call you his best friend.
8.loving him unconditionally and reassuring him of this love.
9.being her support system & letting her know that she can count on you whenever she’s struggling.
10.making waffles together (hehe – okay, this one was all me).
all i have to say about your ideas on romance is that y’all are pretty deep. you say that it’s not just about the grand gestures, it’s also (and, more importantly) about the little things. thankfully, we DO know what love and romance should look like.
