I have been thinking about this a lot and i have concluded that Maybe they are right, maybe I am not a Romantic man. Off late i have been getting what i should call "Blackmailing" from ladies about how unromantic I am. For real though, I have never taken my time to check the true meaning of it and i believe most of the guys here haven't either. We grew up hearing the word romance, romantic and all that and we have been victims of these fancy words for a long time.

So today something happened between a female colleague and I and i decided to check the meaning of the word ROMANTIC. Here are My findings;

Abeg Nairalanders, can anyone tell me how the definition above relates to taking a girl out for lunch, she requested Pizza, I got it for her and she requested that I carry it to the Taxi for her while flinging her pedicured fingers on my face. I got so mad at her effrontery and left both her, the Pizza and headed back to the Office. Few minutes later, I saw her walking in with the Pizza, thinking she would realize her mistake and tell me sorry for the public embarrassment. Guess what she said " You are not romantic at all Andy... Dumping a lady at a restaurant cos of a simple request" she said this where other colleagues are ... They were staring and some of the guys couldn't believe i could dump the hottest chick in the block.. I guess most of them have been "Romantic to her" cos this is actually my first time of taking her out.

Now for real, I think this "Romantic" thing is one big hoodwink for the Ladies.. they have mastered the art of using it to their absolute benefit and i think it's wrong. Most guys should really check out the meaning of "Romantic" before trying to be. I realized that we have been Mumuing ourselves all these while, while they sit among themselves and laugh at our silliness.. Ohh God!!

Hahahahahahahaha.

Doesn't it make sense to you that i stay here alot because i do not understand the topic? I find it interesting when people write about it though and i try writing about my experiences too but it's a different story out there in the real word.. You see people trying to make you do crazy stuffs on the basis that they expect you to be a Romatic. Okay lemme go check out your profile so it'll be fair play...

It is not about being romantic, it is just do you care enough to act like a gentleman. If you care about the person in question. I swear you would go above and beyond to make things easy for her and that is what people call being
Romantic
