Yes i do enjoy some romance..doesnt have to be flowers every day and candlelight meals every day. but, Once in a while is nice. and simply just perhaps sitting together quietly on the porch looking at the stars is great.
I thought that I'd be the type to really want flowers, candy, candles, poems, etc. - but I realized that I don't need any of that stuff. With my ex-fiance, I thought that one of our problems was that he wasn't romantic enough - but when I met my husband - I realized that what was missing from my previous relationship was just a feeling of security. I never felt secure or needed in my previous relationship. My husband makes it so obvious every day how much he needs and loves me - I don't need the flowers, candy, etc. My husband is not romantic at all - but he is really, really honest and sincere. The romantic things that he says from time to time mean so much to me because I know how much he really means them.
I guess to me it's the difference between a romantic feeling and romantic gestures. I can get the feeling with out the gestures.
It's the simple things really. I'm not terribly romantic myself but I do enjoy doing little things.
LOL, I don't think I can trust a guy who tries that hard all the time. That's kinda sad, isn't it? (Although, they always seem to be the ones who take women for all they've got.)

Salutations, Brogain here. Romance is a key component in a healthy relationship. Like others have said, it doesn't have to define everything you do, but without it emotional bonding is affected. Many years ago I might have thought differently, but now I know better. I can definitely appreciate a rose left on my pillow these days.
Based on the response here, we now know that romance is important to women. But I wonder if it's as important to men? And what little things can women do to inspire romantic feelings in men?
My husband is wildly romantic which I appreciate and enjoy. But I believe that he is romantic for my benefit, not his. For example, he thinks the Marvin Gaye song "Let's Get it On" is the most romantic song ever. Ha, ha!
It's important, just don't suffocate me. If you do, I may leave.
