For Women only. Did/do you like romantic gestures?

Post Reply New Topic

In the movies, the guy will take the girl for a drive and a picnic.
In a convertible with the roof open.
And with a bottle of sparkling wine.

But that might just be the movies.

When I was younger I got won over by a guy because he could fix my bike.
And one who joined me for a game of chess and gave me a close match.

So maybe it's a sort of compatibility thing?
Like, testing out whether you have mutual interests.

I'm the only one so far who has voted that I did, but not now.

I liked the idea when I was younger. I even made some romantic gestures myself.

I would much prefer for someone to want to spend time with me. I dont want anything showy. I just want someone to go for a walk with.

I pick 'other'.
Depends on many factors.

I, for one, either truly neutral or outright disinterested in anything romantic.
Never fancied myself about romance... Unless that involves me as a matchmaker that is.

Let's just say I'm one of those kind who never had a crush.
One that had yet to actually appreciate romance.

Even then, for the same acts of romance;

One I may end up punching a person's face.
One I may end up in the cold; with me all take and no give.
One I may end up going awkward and let the whole thing happen.
One I may end up bluntly reject the gesture and leave.
One I may end up teasing relentlessly about this person's feelings towards me of all people.
One I may end up actually flattered then do who knows what.
One I may end up sad, with tons of questions of why, likely reject the whole thing.
One I may end up just be curt and short, thank the person then leave.
One I may actually take it seriously, equally ask serious questions about this person's feelings.

And then amongst many other reactions from me I've yet to actually write.

Thank you for your contribution.

Relationships are boring without a bit of romance. GIVE ME THE ROSES.

An appropriate romantic gesture can be nice.

Sometimes people's aesthetics don't match up though. A gesture can be sweet to one person but gag worthy to another.

Personally, Gestures from people I just met or don't know well tends to make me wary and suspicious.

Despite my dismay about contributing to your bet with the other guy... it is my interest.

I am beginning to realize boosting your esteem might become dangerous to your soft side. Maybe you just feel good to show off, though. Or be right? I value getting it right too.

However, as my ex gf wrote 'Love love love! That is all we ever talk about!' after she had slowly turned more and more distant towards me. So you see, either she had turned into a cow or she had always had it in her [to hate affection]. My impression was she fell out of love with me and started hating it and forgetting everything 'proper' I would do for her. [she was on the spectrum]

so for me Love Cuddle Cuddle Love Pet Nurture Needme Needme Work Dance Cuddle Touch Touch Flirt me Lovemake Public date Pet me Hold hand Talk of me Praise me Smile Do stuff with me Watch gay with me Pet me Love me Interests Fashion with me Tell me your life I tell you mine Support me Fantasy of us
And I will forever be romantically obsessed.

For her Friendship Sex Trust me Time alone 4ever Don't complain Don't need your affection, im begging for attention by substance abuse Don't touch me Send memes Send videos I won't change for you I prioritize other things than time with you We may be able to show compassion through talks Lying and empty promises galore, but you can't tell me I did I can't handle touch Months without touch, won't break up with you cause it's cruel lets just stop affection I didn't like it at the beginning either, just did it for you

People are super different
