Okay, I have a confession to make - I love watching romance movies, even Hallmark movies! Yes, those sappy, romantic movies always make me smile. Some say they are unrealistic, however, I still believe in romance, flowers, candles, cards, chocolate - all of it! I am an incurable romantic. Any love relationship between a man and a woman, whether a marriage or a long term commitment, needs to be revived with romance occasionally. It takes two to tango as they say. You will have no doubt about my romantic tendencies when you read my quote below!
Since I am writing about romance movies, it's time to briefly update my readers on my online dating. I met someone about 1 1/2 weeks after joining. We wrote back and forth for about 3 weeks, then met, and this was back in February. Suffice to say, we are seeing each other exclusively, we are crazy about each other, and he is wonderful! That's all she wrote - that's all you get! :-)
What do I like about romance movies? And I believe most women would agree with me. We want it in our lives, I know I do. I don't always know why, we could analyze all day long "why". I need to be adored and I like being treated like a lady. I like good manners and being treated with consideration. I like politeness and I don't like fighting or arguing. I detest game playing. I am not a drama queen but can certainly be emotional. I am also very affectionate and romantic, so these gestures come naturally to me. I love formalities and being lady-like, and at the same time am very down to earth.
You might be thinking "Wow, you are very girlie". Not really, we all have different sides to us, myself included. I can be a tomboy because I am very physical. Getting down and dirty never bothers me. One project I did a few years ago was paint my garage floor. It was a tough, dirty, and difficult job. I had to clear it and power wash it, all before painting. It is a warm clay/reddish brown color and I love it. A corner of the garage is my laundry area, and I wanted to make the garage comfortable for me. Many of my male neighbors have come by and said how they also wanted to paint their floors, and I inspired them. Over the years I have had to learn how to do handy jobs around my house. The odd thing is I find them interesting. However, if it takes sheets of instructions, muscles, or climbing high on a ladder, I am done. It's time to call my handyman friend. I am also stubborn and if you can do it, I can do it!
Back to romance. A little romance in a relationship makes a woman feel loved and desired. Staying married is the hardest thing we will do. Simply look at the divorce rates. Romance does not have to cost much. Good communication, undivided attention while talking, a smile, an unexpected love note, one single flower, a date night (with no cellphones?), coffee in bed when those eyes can't open, the list of little niceties is endless.
My thoughts on romance will no doubt resurface. But for now thank you, good night and God Bless!
