Dating, romance, and all that falls between

Hopeless Romantic. Romance. How could someone not want to be wined, dined, and kissed at the end of an amazing date? I know I do. However, from past relationships I have learned that romance is a dead language with most guys. Sure they want to wine and dine you, but only in hopes they can wine you so much that you are ready to dine into any need that they have. As I have mentioned before, I am in my young 20s...just starting my 20s (gosh all of a sudden I miss saying teen) and I loved to be romanced.

Nevertheless, as I am starting to grow older and way smarter, romance is not dead. I see romance all around. My parents reminiscing about when they were first married, my sister and her boyfriend starting the new-love-glow-in-the-eyes-when-they-look-at-each-other, and the cute old couples who help each other at the store. See what I learned is romance grows. Romance depends on what people want. Personally, I would rather hear "you look beautiful" over "damn you're hot". Also, I really do not find "I really want you in my bed" or "your chest is amazing" to be even a hint romantic...so guys, lay it off...that puts you in the jackass category in my mind and eliminates any chance you may have had with me.

Lesson learned. You cannot change guys. Nope, not worth it. Not worth trying to get a guy you like to think of women on the same page. Not worth it whatsoever. Instead, learn that they are not for you. Move on. Makes life and possibly heartbreak so much easier. Why go for the jackasses whose pleasure in life is to try to put you down and make fun of your dreams? I invite everyone to read this super short article from Thought Catalog's blog about the 7 people you should not date in 2013...its a great read and I am sure once you start, you will realize that you too may have dated someone from each category or one who accompanies all 7. You deserve better than that...so much better. Find a guy who will treat you with the respect and give you the romance that you want and so greatly deserve.

Romance...whether is be a card to say they were thinking about you, a single flower to say they care, or a simple picture sent that reminds them of you. However you see romance, vocalize. Let the guy you are seeing know what you like, subtly...they should know. Relationships are all communication...use it.
