"I'm not sure, I like flowers, chocolates, etc. but as for the whole romantic idea of love and happy ever after? I'm very jaded about that.
What about you, OP? Do you consider yourself romantic?"
Good job I kept the receipt for the ring I secretly bought you...  |

"I like romantic settings but not flowers and chocolate etc.
I don't want to go to Paris or Venice though.
"
Romantic settings and places definitely.
Waterfalls & moonlight.
Spring flowers on a sunny day.
Poetry & passion.
I have yet to travel to Venice, but it is somewhere I would like to go in the future.
Gondolas & Cornettos! |

I do like a bit of old fashioned romance and I don't believe it need be attached to love. Little gestures, surrounding and effort all make such a difference, least they do to me. |

I think that I am but I think that a lot of people have different connotations of what romance is.
To my mind, romance is small acts of thought, kindness and love, spending time together and prioritising their interests. Showing my partner that they’re in my head and heart.
It’s not about large purchases, flowers all the time or that sort of thing. Firstly that shows little thought, just financial outlay, secondly, that always seems to be the reserve of men and is rarely, if ever, reciprocated |

I don't think I am particularly romantic - I show I care about others through quality time, remembering little things about them and getting small gifts relating to that, words... I'm not one for the flowers and chocolates and champagne style of romance, I'd much rather someone took the time to pen me an old school handwritten letter. Or a haiku. |

The small things mean a lot, a cup of tea in bed or remembering how I like my toast. Anything that shows he's thinking of me
Big gestures make me feel uncomfortable, like they are meant for everyone else to see and not necessarily for me. |

I don't know what you think romance is.
I enjoy candlelight. I enjoy dining out. I enjoy sweet treats, flowers in the ground and I enjoy wine.
I don't think any of that constitutes romance or being romantic.
I can do all of the above with my children, a friend or a colleague or if push comes to shove , a total stranger.
Romance is so much more.
Am I ordinarily on a day to day basis ? No. I'm pragmatic. Am I at the right moment with the right person? Yes I have been.
Can ONE person be romantic and the other not ? Under my definition ...... NO. Romance would not be taking place if it's felt by only one.
Is it possible to romance in other areas of life other than human relationships...... of course it is. |

For all of the ladies saying that they love romance, do you reciprocate, act for act?
If your partner were to be ‘romantic’ in the manner of which you perceive, would you reciprocate in kind or accept and enjoy? |

My husband always bought me flowers and often Surprised me with lovely gestures.
They were so very appreciated!.
But me well...I am wasn't good at reciprocating in the way of gestures.
He was thoughtful and imaginative.
I clearly was not. |

"Well are you one for flowers or perfume, or something else, what is your romantic thing  "
Hopelessly romantic. But gifts are not always romance. It’s all about thought and consideration. It’s the little things that get to me... those little messages out of the blue where someone tells you you’re on their mind. Those moments of I saw this and thought if you (however rude). Those acts that put you first doing something the other person doesn’t like. |

We are both equals and love spoiling each other. I've done it with a taker and yes it's not the same. It's a different feeling, a one sided pleasure, that could essentially turn into pleasing the other person only to gain my pleasure I get when seeing their reaction, its a thin line indeed and could turn toxic. |

You definitely are
It's the little things, like GC said I can go for a meal or a walk at sunset with anyone but looking after me when I'm unwell or buying me a new book because you know I'd love it is worth so much more. |

I would say yes, i am a total romantic. With small things though, im not into big lavish gifts(cant aford them) but little tokens, to remind someone how much you care.
