My husband and I are looking for a new place where we can spend a lot of quality time together. We want to live where there is a lot of romantic things to do. All of the threads that I have been reading lately on this board are about politics, race relations, progressive or not, developments, and they all end up in arguments. I want romantic, fun, and sexy city data from couples that live in Greenville. I don't care if you're gay, straight, black, yellow, or blue please respond to this thread in a positive way, after all we are talking about romance, and there is nothing negative about that!
I love romance, and believe a true romantic can find romance anywhere. I was always leary of someone who said Paris was their favorite romantic world city. Paris is obvious.....just like Charleston (great city) but obvious. If you can't find romance in one of these cities, you probably don't have a pulse.
OK, my romantic story. I travel weekly on business, so my partner and I have come to cherish time in Greenville. We started this tradition about 4 years ago of spending each of our birthday weekends at a different Greenville hotel and spending the weekend away from our house, that is a short mile away. We board the dog, we pack, we act like we are going out of town and then we spend the weekend in Greenville.
I'm a late November birthday. 3 years ago, we got a room at the Westin (which is a romantic hotel to start). That Saturday eveing we dressed for dinner and went to the lobby for drinks around six. Lovely lobby. Had a drink, relaxed, chatted with people. We had decided to walk a few blocks to Addy's for dinner. As we left the Westin, it had just started to flurry (snow). We were bundled, the snow was coming down, and the street was busy with pedestrians, the trees on main twinkled with lights. As we passed the corner of McBee, headed up Main, 3 students from the Governors School were playing Christmas music on their trumpet, trombone and french horn. Beautiful! Snow, holiday music, the one I love!!!! We made it to Addy's (another romantic place unto itself), took our coats off, dusted off the snow and had Irish Coffee BEFORE dinner. After dinner we window shopped, held hands on Main and NO ONE blinked an eye. Still snowing, we retired to our room and concluded the romantic evening.
Reading this, may not sound romantic, but EVERY single sensory cue was present that night....snow, the students playing holiday carols, the lights, the smells (my partners cologne, the food, the wool coat I had on, the green smell of spruce decorations, etc), the textures, the noise, the laughter, the silence, the sounds of my shoes crunching on frozen ground!
Greenville is indeed romantic. But in my life, I've learned it takes a romantic to notice romance!

This proves once and for all you really don't go downtown and make up stuff that is false. There are at least 3 horse carriages downtown.
