I don't know if romanticism is dead but I definitely know that I prefer reason, logic and reality over too much emotion and too much imagination. You can call me an aromantic but I definitely prefer reality and romanticism is not the reality we live in.

its almost dead, but I found one of the few romantic/old fashioned men left. My boyfriend isn't super romantic but he does cute things like buy me a crock pot cause we talked about good food in the crock pot and I mentioned I didn't have one. He brings me breakfast some mornings, always opens my door and won't even let me open it actually (if I reach for the door he shouts at me "hey..you're not opening that door!" haha). He "allows" me the privilege to buy him a 10 dollar ticket to my dance concert cause he doesn't want me paying for anything (he has no idea that I've been scouting out xmas gifts for him so he'll have to deal with me buying things for him, ha!). He actually calls me every day, no matter how tired or sick he is, and hates texting like I do. One day I even caught my phone on the charger that I know he put there, simply cause he noticed it needed to be charged. There are many more things and its only been 2 months or so. Even though he doesn't surprise me with flowers or crazy dates (though we go out all the time) and what not, he still does sweet things for me and thats what counts. It took me over 2 years to find him..so I'm hoping this lasts a while. Its the little things that matter and if more women appreciated this, more men would be like this.
honestly, I don't completely know what romance looks like either as I didn't grow up around it much. I just remember my parents hating each other their entire marriage and then divorcing by my senior year of high school. My parents did always drill into me about how a man should treat me though and what they described to me was old fashioned men. luckily when I began dating, all the guys I dated were old fashioned, opening doors, paying for dates, called and didn't text, did sweet little things, so that's how I was conditioned to this. After my ex is when I started running into sleazy men who only wanted hook ups and did/said anything to get it and it was so bizarre to me.

This is cute.
It's definitely, the little things that matter most.
we are eating the cheese off the top of the pizza too much.
the wrong turn was made in 1963. it was not gradual, american/european customs and social structure were dismantled in a matter of months thru large scale drug experimentation by the masses in america.
a nation chemically changed. st peppers lonely heart club band and timothy leary were not our friends.
what were a race of nice ladies became skanks.
you have come a long way baby but in which direction?
and we guys are nothing to brag about either. instead of a tie and starched white shirt, its a wife beater tshirt & a 3 day beard.
the sky is cryin sing it.
