Do you know how?

Do you know how to be romantic? how to behave on a date? or even how to get a date? are you any good at talking to people you fancy?

Should have added, I'm just nosey, so anyone I've talked to needn't panic.

I would say that knowing how to be romantic is very individualistic to the person, the time and place. For instance a source of humour can be just as romantic as a candle lit dinner for two.
There could be events such as going to see contemporary dance or the ballet which can be both romantic and stimulating as well as a source of conversation.
When it comes to someone I fancy I often end up going into starstruck teenager mode and am very shy. It's my achilles heel; I find it very difficult to ask someone out.

So there you go if someone fancies me, going to see contemporary dance such as Akram Khan's Giselle is a great ice breaker ;-)

I think I know this one ... Never use terms of endearment as calling her "mate" shows you feel comfortable with her. Ignore her text messages as you don't want her to think you are petty enough to read texts. If you have to buy flowers make sure they are only a small bunch from the local garage and show her that you are good with money. If you do end up in the bedroom always keep your socks on ... ladies love a guy wearing just his socks.

I've plenty more tips if anyone needs advice :)

No and I'd probably think someone was being weird if they tried to be romantic towards me.

bet you're a hit with the ladies then, png. ;)

In answer to your questions; nope, think so, not a clue, rubbish.
Not sure I now what romance is really. It's different for everyone. For me, it's being on the same wavelength. What could be nicer than spending time with someone you fancy the pants off, who listens, finds your stupid jokes as hilarious as you do, is kind, considerate and attentive. If the feelings are mutual, romance happens naturally. It can't be created artificially.

I am very good talking at people I fancy. Trouble is, I fancy only people that are fancyful
For them to be fancyful they have to given it a serious though if they if there is anything we would have in common so that he could or would fancy. Otherwise it would be too much hard work.

Leogirl.

No success yet MtM. I know the theory but need to put it into practise. :)

I think I'm quite a romantic person but one person's perception of that is different to another's. Like plants, some people need a lot more attention than others to thrive!

Best thing I think is to always be yourself rather than trying to create a persona you think they'd like.

Well Png, I hope your 'tips' were tongue in cheek because I can tell that if not, then you have it dreadfully wrong !!

Anywayup, personally I have to fancy the guy sexually to start up any kind of communication, if I don't like the look of him, he says stupid things, he drinks and smokes a lot, then I don't think he is worth the bother. And certainly if he can't be bothered to take his socks off - well !!!
I think I am past caring whether there is a special "someone" out there for me. I'm very happy doing my own thing now. . .

Haha Madness. My tips were tongue in cheek ... I would take my socks off for the right lady :)

And your glasses ?

And glasses. Sometimes I wear goggles and miner's helmet with lamp ... but that's a long story lol.

I'm getting a few tips from this thread.

One imagines "being romantic" is a subjective matter. One is often referred to as being "sweet" The latter usually means that those who utter that word. Have absolutely no interest in one whatsoever.

You sound like my gynaecologist, png.

Ooeer Minnie I couldn't do that job lol.

I bet you could, if push came to shove.

Oh go on then ... I'll have a bash :)

Is this Minnie flirting ?????
