Depends if you're already in a relationship or not. If you are, then it's the perfect time to show your romantic side.

I'm not sure I've ever had the mickey taken out of me! Translate please!
I think Twiggle meant being comfortable enough with one another to poke fun at each other in a good natured way.

I posted a variation of this in the 'Texts, Poems, Dreams, Phrases...' forum. What do you think of it?
Your beauty to me is beyond compare,
Your face, your eyes, your long, black hair,
At a time in my life when I felt scared,
You’ve always listened, you’ve always cared.
Kindness like yours is not easily found,
Long lost and buried beneath the ground,
In a world full of darkness, you shine so bright,
Just like a firefly deep in the night.
I’ve cherished every word you’ve spoken,
In this society creaking and broken,
You’ve always made me feel so warm,
Like a bright ray of light you’ve calmed this storm.
There is no picture I could take,
Nor no sculpture I could make,
That could give justice to your face,
Full of life and full of grace.
If only you knew my feelings for you,
They are so strong, they are so true,
If only you knew quite what you mean to me,
And how big a smile that you bring to me...

not actually Fiona Apple
Back in high school, I remember after school once during a track practice I saw a guy serenading a girl with a guitar and Beatles covers. I just thought it was the sweetest thing I ever saw.
I like romance, it feels ooey-gooey to watch, and I would assume to execute, but at the end of the day I think it reaps great rewards for everyone involved

To me personally romance isn't dead, I'm a hopeless romantic but I do feel that it is dying with the general public, now we are seen as corny or trying too hard but damn what do you expect when a girl effects you that much and is always on your mind?
LOL I think this is true - it's about getting to know the other and showing them love with the acts/words of appreciation and respect... that they understand as such.
(sometimes this can be easier of more difficult lol)
I mean, I'd probably flip if someone would try to 'buy' my love with gifts, while not appreciating my opinion in some important things... For me, genuine respect and discussing relevant things, making decisions together etc. is more important than any 'gifts' or such...

I personally am not a romantic person, every time I had to do something romantic it felt awkward and I hated it. I can show that I care if I truly do and buy gift, but be romantic just not in me
It depends what the gift is
haha(I'm for eco-friendly zero waste gifts, so that can make it a bit difficult too, even flowers from flower shops can be 'iffy', picked at the meadow can be better
)There can be great non-material gifts though, or very targeted - if you really know what the person wishes (or with gift lists), it can be a great idea... (Mostly, it's the thought that counts - I've gotten too many horrible gifts from relatives or such, so I'm just not very into gifts...)
Basically, you have to know the person really well and know what s/he appreciates (or could potentially get freaked out by lol)
I think people interpret Romance differently too - for some, it can be more 'mainstream', for some, more 'edgy/funny' etc. (laughing/smiling or 'joking around' together etc.)
A beautiful poem, you have a gift for poetry...
It also makes me think that if I were the girl addressed here it would feel like 'enormous pressure' lol! Beauty can fade... 'always' is a tricky word too... usually girls have 'ups and downs' too, especially if you live together with someone...
In a way, this girl is lucky to have your appreciation and your love... do try to not idealize people though, it can feel 'lonely' on a pedestal, or undearneath one.. if you understand?

Romance, intimacy in the feelings sense sometimes does make me cringe. I mean I'm a somewhat distant individual in person though online it may not appear that way. I always avoid romance, relationships, in other words any kind of intimacy. though it wasn't until i was avoided when i sought that the situation made me take a double look at my behaviors. Im still uncomfortable with the closeness involved in romance however it can't be all that bad if so many people seek it right? The question i should be asking is why do i avoid it?

I don't think so. The last time I looked at the paper on Valentines it was full of declarations of love and romance from people seemingly in relationships.
I think it's just as important as anything else that people post about on Facebook.

Yeah.. I guess so... I am not really a fan of facebook though, particularly in the way that it is used, as opposed to the site itself.
Anyway, sorry to derail the thread..

but see, you can choose to use it a different way
most of the people i know, and with whom i associate on Facebook, don't use it the way so many people on this forum describe it

yeah.. I mean of course there is nothing wrong with facebook essentially...most people use it sensibly.. but there is an element to it that just doesnt sit right with me.. which I wont go into because I dont want to detract from the OP's original intent for the thread.... but I think you know what I mean.
It's just my opinion though. Each to their own.

I agree with what a lot of people have said in here.
Romance is more about making someone feel special and loved, than about gifts or doing things like in the movies.

Thank you.
I suppose always is a tricky word to use but if I were to write 'You've sometimes listened, you've sometimes cared' it doesn't quite have the same ring to it, haha.
