I am not looking for casual sex or a fling. I have even turned women down on here because they weren't looking for a relationship. Been there and done that and I don't regret it but I am looking for more than that now. Well, congratulations—so am I. And while we're here I would appreciate it if you would refrain from making assumptions about me or questioning every single word I post as if I'm nothing but a scamming whore with some hidden agenda. |

In my opinion, most women like to be chased and courted - probably a few feminists would disagree - but I firmly believe ladies like receiving little gifts they love it. Pleased to hear romance is alive and well.

Brilliant, three pages and you finally admitted it. "I'm not looking for sex or anything like that". You were the one that brought that up. Nobody would even have cared what it was that you were looking for from a woman if you hadn't made a thing about it. |

I didn't make anything about it—you did. |

Hopeless Romantics show affection in many ways other than Sex. My ex husband was a Romantic and he had lots of women after him, that is why he had so many dates.
 I have since dated a couple of Romantics and this is just something they like doing for women they are interested in. I never want any "stingy" non-romantic man, cause I am spoiled and love it.

I didn't make anything about it—you did. No, you brought it up and said that you didn't want that or anything else apart from the sort of attention that you say that you have been paying this woman. You were asked why you were doing this "romancing" and made out that you don't want it to lead to anything. Now you say that you do want it to lead to something. Did you change your mind or what? I really don't get it but at the end of the day it is really none of my business and you asked for advice or said that you wanted opinions anyway and that's all I did. |

I don't really know what being "romantic" means.
Just be authentic and sincere. Mean what you say. Give from the heart. If you don't really know a person you can't really be "romantic." |

this is a warning for all
1) Do not attack/slam/insult others. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, use the Report Post link within that post. If you reciprocate instead, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences as the attacker. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning! I suggest some re-read the forum rules. Kim |

Trying to keep the topic alive in a "friendly" way...Where (and when) did the phrase "hopeless romantic" first originate? Does anyone know? Just curious...I imagine that the term "hopeless" was (and is) used because people who enjoy being romantic intend to remain this way no matter what. (Even if they get rebuffed for being romantic or never find anyone who shares their love of romance etc.) What do you think? Thanks!

"Hopeless romantic" just sounds like someone trying to create a fantasy life modeled after some fairy tale. Be real, be authentic. Real romance is a gesture that sincerely shows the love you feel in your heart. If you don't feel it, then its not romance. It's an empty gesture. |

If I was you, just try not to psyche yourself up. Yes it's nice to buy gifts for people. It shows that you're not tight with your money. The problem is whether the woman will mistake it as you using it as an "advantage". Women are doubly cautious, more than men are, when it comes to sussing men out. We don't like stalkers. We get suspicious of nicer-than-nice types. You know the drill. Just try not to be so eager to please, otherwise you're expectation's will seem all for nothing. Expectation is one of the worst things you can do to yourself. How about expecting nothing rather than how you thought it should go?
