I'm no longer in the zone of romance - married - too old to start again - unlikely to be attractive to anyone.
But if I were still in that zone, I would want to get to know someone reasonably well as a friend (know that we shared similar interests and values) before I decided that romance might be a possibility.
Then I'd ask several questions: what your taste is in partners; whether you might find me attractive; and whether you might like me to woo you.
If you answered yes,
then I'd ask you out on a date, something we'd both enjoy doing. Maybe something like lunch and a walk on the beach or in a beautiful part of nature. Or dinner, live music, and dancing.
We would kiss and hug good-bye, and gain from it a hint of what the chemistry might be like.
On each date, I would ask you intimate questions and hope you would respond in kind. I would want to know about the people in your life, your history, experiences, and current reality.
I would try to get to know you really well, your hopes, fears, needs, values, likes and dislikes, and let you know mine.
I would tell you the things I like, respect, and admire about you.
As the intimacy grew, I would write you poems, bring you flowers, and small gifts. I would cook you delicious and nutritious meals.
One day, when I felt that you seemed really open to me, I would offer you a massage, and hope that it would lead to more.
If it did, to keep the romance alive, I would bring new elements into the ways we relate, a continual discovery of the world together.
If that is your taste, then I wish you good luck in finding the right woman.
I think our culture still expects men to do the wooing.
