I never really got the point behind the whole thing, I mean why can't two people be in a relationship and just be good friends without all the flowers giving and chocolate buying. :-/
Our forefathers and foremothers who were not exposed to these romantic ish from television and internet and other media still got along fine with each other. Infact their marriages lasted longer than what obtains these days.
The way I see it, all the hoopla about romance that we see foreigners displaying is what leads us to think that romance should be a crucial part of relationships. People can be friends and in love with each other without the attendant bouquet of flowers (what is somebody supposed to do with those flowers anyway?) and whatever else is considered romantic these days.

sexkillz: So, romance to you is flowers and chocolate? I am stupefied!

lol, I was just making an example I never said that was what it meant to me. I take it by your angry post and unnecessarily bolded font that the topic offends you. No vex, not everybody can like romance like you.

action.

sosoluv: If u can't afford flowers and chocolate its better u come out clean about it, no need to hide behind ur forefathers,,,back in your forefathers days men had to prove themselves worthy to a woman and they could only get approval from the father to be with his daughter, so if u don't follow those steps and expect it to come easy, don't expect a woman to hear 'I love you' and 'you are the only one for me' with no action.

I have cash for those things and please don't assume I started this thread to complain because am poor. @bold, by 'action' do you mean carrying out romantic acts?

tpia, have you not still completed the ten thousand posts you were aiming to get since all these years, abi why are you going about posting dots?

sosoluv: If u have enough for it I don't see why such a pity issue should be something that would bother u

You didn't answer my question.

uf

sosoluv:
Yes carrying out romantic acts....as u put it urself

So if a guy carries out romantic acts with you that means you will give him action?

t

sosoluv:
It means I will appreciate him more. If a man cries ove flowers and chocolate, I can wonder how worse it can get when he has to pay a child's fees if he can't do something as little as that

But sosoluv, the man is not crying over it naaa. He is just not romantic minded. It is possible for a guy to be a good and hardworking father without being romantic.

But I have never had a girlfriend. . . . . .

ikj

Wait, I've had boyfriends. Can I talk about them instead?

hit

Oh you modified it.

sosoluv: I'm apologising for discriminating

Do you live in Nigeria? It's unusual for Nigerians to be non-homophobic.

.

sosoluv: I'm not nigerian.

Oh.
I'm not male either. Wonder why you assumed I was.

Yeah, it is overrated jooor.
I'm not very romantic. I lose interest rather easily. So, the burning emotion of a few weeks ago just fizzle out like that.....
Can't say how many GFs that didn't last a month.
I think if the burden of romance was avoided, my relationships would last longer.

BTW, by romance, I minus intimacy ooooo. Se.x is se.x ,
If that's not gonna be involved. I will waka fast. Alfa or no Alfa.

You are no longer an alfa, stop kidding yourself.
@bold, na wa o. How your marriage go be now?

^ I'm not Alfa to you naa.

Maybe I will meet some girl I can love forever(she no get choice but to love me back). Its possible. Atleast judging by my Parents.

Or I will never marry.........

Avicenna:

The trick is to get somebody you have a lot in common with. The love usually lasts for couples that have a lot in common.

only in the ways depicted on tv...
the knight in shining armor and the "happily ever after" crap.

bogus.

MsDarkSkin: the knight in shining armor and the "happily ever after" crap.

bogus.

A lot of people think those things are for real. :-/

Romance being overrated, old style, new style, chocolate & flowers? What are u tryin to say? There are different ways of making one understand the nature/level of likeness you have for the other person (with or without gifts) the idea is to be appreciated in return by the person as being expressed, so i don't think our ourfathers/mothers and the future will have a synchronized life style....there will definately be changes.

Romance ko, manceRo ni. Fvck that ish.

Sosoluv, I have a question for u...

What should a gal give in return to a man that has always been romantic to her ever since their first date?
