    I have a problem that is unknown to me... In fact, I'm not even sure if it's a problem.

    I want something out of my love life, I want a lot, sometimes an incredible amount of romance. And I'm not talking about sex or anything...I can't even describe it. I just want to have this fun, sweet romance with someone. The feeling gets stronger the more I read or hear about things I think is romantic.

    For instance, I recently read The Great Gatsby, and I think the whole thing between Gatsby and Daisy is so romantic. Also, I'm reading Hammer of the Gods (Led Zeppelin Bio) and whenever I read stuff about Jimmy Page and some girl I envy it and I wish I could have something like that with someone (minus the orgies and such).

    I recently broke up with my girlfriend partly because I was unhappy because of this... It's really weird.

    Is anyone's life really this romantic?

    I know exactly hwo you are feeling i want romance in my relationship and all but i have come to a relization that my relationship will never ever ever have any type of romance in it unless i'm the one doing the romancing. I just want to be taken to a nice dinner and go for a walk on the beach without having to worry about my son. back to your question NO nones life is ever this romantic unless you make it to be.

    I probably love romance more than most women, and they dont come any straighter than me!

    From when I was a little kid, I always would lose myself in fantasies of going away somewhere with a girl and just being together in the moonlight, deep in love. (Nothing sexual)

    I remember when I saw movies like 'Roman Holiday' and 'The African Queen'. My imagination caught on fire and I realized just how wonderful love and romance is.

    So yeah, I hear ya, romance should be an integral part of anyone's life.

    I think romance could be defined as the act of doing something to please another, for them, but also becuase making them happy also pleases you. Romance is the act of sharing something special with someone special. I dont think romance can be accredited to objects... more so actions

    My husband isn't the most romantic person, more of an aggressive, strong, silent type, but when he is romantic, it means even more to me, and I always look back and reflect upon those sweet moments because they are so heartfelt and pure. Makes me fall in love over and over again.

    I think everyone wants to be loved and be in love. I mean it's beautiful thing. :)

    As far as romance goes though... Life kinda gets in the way and having things to do all day and stuff. But it can happen if you want it to. If you're romantic at heart than do those romantic things you want to. It doesn't really have to be spectacular but I find that the little things is what really makes my heart beat fast.

    I personally like it whenever my boyfriend says some really romantic things to me and tells me how much he loves me from the heart. That's what really makes me melt and I find that to be the most honest romantic thing of all. Just telling and showing the person you love how much you love them verses just the "walking on the beach" or "candle light dinners" like is superficially portrayed.

    everyone so far has said that the walk on the beach or candlelit dinner is so superficial or whatever but to me it would mean sooo much if shane and i would go do something like that where we could have time to ourselves w/o bringing our son. Shane is a workaholic so if he even has time to plan something like that i would be so shocked
