Romantic or a Realist?

Post Reply New Topic

I still don't understand.

[French romantique, from obsolete romant, romance, from Old French romans, romant-, romance; see romance.]

[Middle English, from Old French romans, romance, work written in French, from Vulgar Latin *rmnic (scrbere), (to write) in the vernacular, from Latin Rmnicus, Roman, from Rmnus; see Roman.]

[Middle English, from Old English Rmn or from Old French romain, both from Latin Rmnus, from Rma, Rome.]

There's no point in trying to make me understand, because I can't.

A romantic view would be to idealize someone, or a situation, to see it with 'rose coloured glasses', not as it really is, but maybe how you would like it to be, does that make sense RedMage?

Sort of. I hate not being able to understand these things...

RedMage,
Most women have these ideals about how their men should treat them... they are 'hopeless romantics'. They expect flowers and chocolates on Valentine's day, they expect their man to remember their birthday and take them out to dinner in a restaurant with expensive cuisine and dimmed lights. They also expect their man to jump through hoops- take them shopping and all sorts of special treatment. This includes opening doors for them all the time, and the man writes poems and all sorts of mushy stuff.

A realist knows not to expect that sort of treatment. A realist thinks poetry, flowers, chocolate are a bit much. Instead the realist appreciates things like a good movie and just spending time alone with their significant other. Most men are realists.

You Are A Romantic Realist



You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends!
