I Love Old Fashioned Romance

Yeah..... old fashion romance has been lost.
To me, romantic gestures stem from manners, small things, kind words and kisses.
Ask me how my day is... hold my hand... hug me out of the blue...pick a pretty flower because you thought about me, write me a letter, send me a card, make me a sandwich for lunch.... sweet nothings are nice too...

I miss that stuff.

Saving this. A) because I was too stupid to ever do this stuff for my wife and b) time to start doing some of it again.

Did you know that one of the most important things that's lost in long term relationships is..???

Kissing.

It's done so much at the beginning of courtships and sadly lost as time goes on. It's far more intimate than sex or foreplay.

@NoraOnora: I get what you mean. There's kissing and then there's "kissing like a lover."

There's both an eagerness to connect and an urgency with such smooching. It's like walking in the desert for miles and hours on end without a drink of water and then satisfying a thirst with a long cool drink of water.

The trick is....creating the special moments so that you both can "return to bliss".

My mom and dad made it a priority to make that happen on a regular basis. The result....two really happily married folks!

Well said, Nora! I think many guys miss out on these 'small' but very important gestures while both courting and maintaining a relationship. They don't understand that the way to a woman's heart is to keep it warm with small fire lit coals of affection.

Even those little things I appreciate too

Everyone can
You know, I have a son who I'm very close with. I've dated many men in my youth and I thought I knew the heart of a man & through raising my son, He has taught me so much.
He has a heart that can be broken too. He cries. He felt crazy in love and thought of a future w his first gf. He showed her respect and kindness, he held her hand, brought her home to share meals with her and all that stuff... I can honestly say, he will never experience that kind of young love again.

Why I say that is because at some point, while we're older and single we all describe that young love that we once knew and crave. Maybe some are married and lost that spark, just need a little push to get that tenderness back in their lives again.

I agree..Men need love too and they desire it just like women.
