I figured this would be the correct place to ask. All men in general have a problem with grasping the concept of being romantic and im
one of them. Ever so often my wife will say you need to be more romantic and im totally dumbfounded as to what to do.Dont get me wrong I do a lil but im trying to take it to the next level. Im not the cliche type thats gonna wash my wife up in a milk bath or make a trail of rose petals and all that, I just need some practical and real advice.

    I think when a woman wants you to do something "romantic" she really just wants you to do something sweet and or relaxing for her without it having to result in sex.. (although it likely will anyway). Just try giving her a body massage or cook for her.. show her you appreciate her.

    But he talkin like he aint never been romantic or at least to what she's wanting now. I think she askin for too much. Dude was doing something right without all this "romance" for them to get married.

    either or askin for a little romance dosent seem like she's askin for too much, you cant expect to do the same ol same ol day in and day out forever and not expect someone to get tired of it, gotta spice ? up.

    In my experience, just paying close attention to things makes them happy. Romantic gestures can be as small as little compliments and asking how they're doing. Course they aint gonna complain if you plan some date without asking them first. Spontaneous is key.

    There's no uniformity concerning romance. Some chicks may think the most romantic thing in the world is to get a box of Godivas, while the next the chick, if you gave her Godiva's would look at you funny because she's allergic to chocolate. Some chicks enjoy intimiate walks on a local waterfront promenade, while the next one would be bored out her mind. The best way to find out the answer to this question is to ask the chick you're trying to ? what she finds romantic and incorporate those ideas and thoughts into your next date.
    Good luck.

    well i love the baths and stuff like that,but i like things from the heart that some celeb didnt do in the movies or on tv. i love letters, poems, something creative! my man is poet and rapper and he wrote me the most beautiful song ever and its on his cd! so everyone that hears this song will hear how he loves me! be involved in her things that she likes that she probably dont think you are interested in! do something that she would totally not expect you to do! at the end of the day, you know her better than anyone.You'll know what to do if you would just listen!

    Well sex is great and everything I would just prefer it if I knew he was doing something to make me happy and not just to have sex.

    Ok I hear where the ladies are coming from. But what is the female equivalent of being romantic???

    What do you do for your man that's out of the ordinary???


    I know I've been "making a name for myself" lately lol but I'm serious tho

    I love the challenge of suprising the girl I'm feeling in different ways etc, making her smile even tho she was already in her "I'm ? at the world" mode
    I even already know how I'm gonna propose to my future wife and I haven't even met her yet LOL

    But I feel cheated when I do ? like that for women. Because women seem to get this attitude of entitlement. And get mad when they aren't getting it as much etc.
    It's like it spoils a woman. And yall don't really return the effort. Makes me feel like I'm getting played LOL that's why I don't do it

    Wow ok well since none of ladies "who aren't like that" can't seem to think of anything that you do to reciprocate the effort I'm just gonna assume your either on some fantasy ? Or your just a selfish self centered brat with an attitude of entitlement

    Maybe the women I'm dealing with are just like you. Cause they can't think of romantic ? to do for me either LOL

    I'M not even trying to turn this into a battle. All I'm saying is that if I do all that ? for you, what is the equivalent that you are doing for me. You should easily be able to post what you do for your man. You could atleast lie LOL

    It's not about Any girl I'm dealing with. I'm single. LOL I'm just trying to get an understanding. I've dealt with girls who did certain ? . I just want to know if that is supposed to be the equivalent.

    Seems like everyone got defensive when I made that post. Just give me an understanding. I haven't been in many relationships

    We'll I try to be different with each chick but for the most part I got the most feedback from:

    It's a rainy evening and I have a balcony so I would open up the sliding door and light some candles after dimming the lights. I would put my stereo on low enough to hear the quiet storm on the radio. The glare of the blue light coming from the stereo compliments the candle lit room.. I take the small table from my kitchen and place it on the balcony. Decorate it nice with roses, small candles and Ice bucket with a bottle of moet in it. In the kitchen I broil 2 salmon steaks and whip up some asparagus with some rice pilaf or something.. Shower up and dress up a lil bit. Throw something on that I would wear to work. 8:PM the buzzer rings. Open the door and gasp at her beauty for a min. Lead her to the couch where I kiss her and take her shoes off. I start massaging her feet while asking her if she's hungry. Candle lit dinner on the balcony... The sound of the rain.. the city lights in the distance.. The streets are eerily quiet.. Go back inside.. By this time she cant keep her hands off me.. Gets ? on the couch after that.. The only witness is the man in the moon as the moonlight shines off us...

    Anyway.. This always works for me^
