My husband is quite the romantic. I am not big on going to restaurants for Valentines dinner. It's just too crowded, busy, etc. Well a couple of years ago I worked on Valentines day. When I got off work there was a note posted on the door. I came in the house and it was quiet (even the dogs were gone) The note said:
Hi honey, I have a glass of wine in the fridge for you. Come upstairs and go to the bedroom.
I go to the stairs and there is a trail of rose petals going up the stairs leading down the hall into the bedroom. In the room there is a teddy bear, box of chocolates and a card (I don't want flowers on V-day...to much $). Another note on the bed said: Put your things down, take of your shoes and come up to the 3rd floor.
I open the door to the 3rd floor and another trail of rose petals are on the stairs. The room is dark with the exception of the glow of candles. Slow music is playing (he made a romantic song CD). In the middle of the room was a table and two chairs with candles on the table and dinner for two. He had ordered a wonderful chicken marsala meal from a local italian restaurant. He was dressed up and everything. I was plesantly surprised. At the end of dinner, he had drawn a bubble bath for me.
It was a wonderful night. He thought of everything...even finding sitters for our son and the doggies.
WOW! This is just so romantic - good for you He's a keeper!
It's the thought that men uphold the values of Renaissance knights. To woo a woman, and impress her with your status, charm and kindness.
A true gentleman does not act chivalrous for any other reason than he enjoys the company of the woman he is with and enjoys making her feel good about herself. A scumbag acts chivalrous to get down a woman's pants.
My recommendation would be, if a man does act chivalrous towards you, don't be cynical or sarcastic about it. Just let it happen and take it for what it is. Unless he's give off the creeper, just using it for sex, vibe. Just roll with it, that's about the best way to "step up your game."
Make yourself more enjoyable to be around or something I guess then. A lot of times why this goes away in relationships, is that you start losing respect for each other. Obviously not all relationships burn white hot like at the beginning...but I'd imagine the healthier the relationship the more "romance" that goes on in it.
"Then come a bit closer, seeniorita, let me show you that I can be very, very romantic!"
Eet ees, eh... 'ow yew seh... tres ROWR-r-r-rrr, le no?
Ouiiii... le "no".
LOL, Urban! I got it, just couldnt resist!
I am in a wonderful mood today, you made me laugh, thank you!
