As a predominantly male messgae board, maybe you guys can shed some light on what is or is not romantic these days.

The lads in the office just took the mickey out of a bloke as he was thinking of buying flowers for a girl, saying that was tacky, not romantic

Is romance dead?
What do you think/do that is romantic??

Last week Freak ran the bath for me and poured me a nice glass of wine. To me that was quite thoughtful and I guess i would class it as caring, but is it romantic?

I never thought about it that way!!! I guess you have tried the same technique then....

did it work?

Nah...

I just think it's funny when you "relax" a bit with a glass of wine or two and fart in the bath

That's a bit juvenille. Sounds a bit like being in a playground as kids..."You're in love with so and so....nah, nah, nee, nah, nah"

There's nothing wrong with showing somebody that you care about them. Whether that's considered romantic or not is surely in the eyes of the person on the receiving end of any small kindness. If the girl thinks that getting flowers is tacky and takes the mick out of him like the lads have, then I guess it's tacky and not at all romantic.

Somehow, I don't think she will. He may even get to run a bath and take some cold wine into the bathroom so she gets clean and drunk, then down and dirty for him

Hmmmm...wonder what the lads would find to laugh about there.

Clean AND drunk! Conjures up a thought that does.

Amazed you even thought to ask the question on this board Lily!
