"Movie romance yes...
Actual romance no
What is the difference in your opinion?"
Movie romance is full if grand gestures and inspiring speeches.
Real life romance is everyday small touches and consideration of your partner or intended partner |

Popcorn is for the movies!
Romance can be found in many forms in everyday life from subtle touches or listening to someone and making them feel heard to taking out the rubbish or doing extra cleaning when you know someone has had a hard day.
It doesn't all need to be razzle dazzle you just gotta take notice and not take things for granted |

"Yet to experience it in real life but the movies definitely give a very rose tinted version"
Some films also portray nightmare scenarios: the movie Fatal Attraction with Glenn Close is a perfect example of the need to be be attentive to red flags for personality disordered dates.    |

You've never met a real man.
Romance doesn't need to be what we see in the movies. It's not the action but rather the reaction. Romance is whatever makes you feel the way you know the woman feels in a movie after some grand romantic gesture. It can be something as simple as a hug on a cold day. Romance is simply thinking of the other person's needs and going out of your way to make them feel good. As far as I am concerned, romance has a place here too. I mean what woman would not smile if a guy showed up for a meet and thought to bring her flowers too?
At least that's my view on it. |

Did your friend with benefits never do anything romantic? Buy you something he knew you’d love just cause, do something nice just to make you smile?

Brought me a cup of tea one morning before we got up so I guess he did. |

I must be frank. In my opinion, showing up with flowers would be a red flag; for what ? I am not sure, but I think it would make a meet feel uneasy. |

Little gestures that show you care are the epitome of romance imo…unless you don’t drink tea and he wasn’t listening |

I guess I have been romanced, I stand corrected.  |

Would it be because its not in line with traditional gender roles?
Or because you think the person will become attached too easily?
Are you super allergic to pollen? |

Romance in movies needs a timeline to be condensed into 90 minutes to two hours. Not only that but for pacing issues, romantic actions need to be sped up (asking out some rando you just met/ spontaneous moving or proposals) so it's like romance on fast forward. Which is a shame because TV is where we think we can learn about these things. Anyways TLDR romance in the movies isn't realistic. |

"Fuck I miss me a bit of romance... it's in the small things definitely!!"
Couldn't agree more. It can only add to the mutual attraction.
Unless he is clueless and does it in a slightly creepy way |

See, that's the kind of thing I mean. I don't know how the night ended but I'll assume you did it purely out of a desire to help her. She had to have thought much more of you because of it. It shows you care for the person and not just the body. |
