<< I've known this girl for almost a year now, and we've been dating for about 5 months. The other day she tells me that I should be more romantic. Um, any ideas? I'm drawing a blank on the subject. What woo'd your girl? >>



Here's a question: How do you feel about her? Are you really crazy about her? Or are you "just sort of with her" out of, perhaps, inertia? If it's the latter...

<< am i the only one who thinks rival should just leave?

seriously, think about it. i'm not getting the impression that rival has had this burning desire to do something romantic, but doesn't for fear of rejection or something. i think rival is just the way he is, naturally. do we really want to tell him to force himself to change? you can't overcome who you are... you can act "romantic" for a little while, but it's going to get tedious and old because that's not who you are.

and how romantic can it be if you're basically doing something to give the illusion of being romantic?

i think you're better off with a girl who is happy with who you are.

IMO, It's one thing to be happy with who someone is, and it's another thing to recognize that you need something that they aren't giving you and politely ask for it (note: not bitch at them 'til they do what you want). Isn't that the way relationships go? In a loving relationship, you should be comfortable enough with the other person to confront them if you're feeling neglected in a certain area. Once again, just don't bitch about it.

Sometimes you have to read between the lines with women, sometimes they need to insert a few more lines themselves.If she says she wants more romance, what is she responding to, what you are not doing or what you are doing? I'm guessing the 'romance' topic is a symptom of something and maybe she could elaborate on what makes her feel that way and come to that conclusion.

Try a little spontaneity in your relationship; that often leads to romantic situations but it's up to you to make the most of it. I've found that doing fun things unexpectedly and then paying a little extra-special attention to my wife (or former gf's) often leads to romance or romantic situations. And I'm not talking about sex (although that's a typical outcome) but about more intimacy.

I'd just mention again that if she tells you to do something like this, and you run off to do it like a good little boy, she'll either become tired with you and dump you like yesterday's stale coffee, or she'll have you around her finger and know it.

if you do something romantic, work it in on the sly.

Maybe you should bring in another girl for a 3-some. Talk about stirring up the pot!!

i'm with the guys who tell you not to do anything....

however, it wouldn't be hard to be 'romantic' once a month....

oh yeah..once you dine out every night, it ceased to be special. so you should try to do different things and not as often...

--

if she doesn't like it... make sure you close the door fast enough to hit her ass on the way out.

maybe you should make a movie, starring her (don't let her know about it though!)
