Anyone reading my stories would probably say yes and I agree. I can't seem to write a story without the male and female characters falling in love. And in my personal life, I tend to be very romantic.

I like to think I am. That would be the ladies to answer. Breakfast in bed is my speciality

The way a pilot, or somebody who wants to become one might be deeply connected to the romance of flight, I'm attached to the romance of the theater, or the written word. Well said bro.. for me being romantic certainly goes well beyond its most common use!

I guess in a way we all are some show it openly , some feel it, some just acknowledge. But in the end we all have some degree of romance in out souls. When you see tough men cry it is usually some thing to do with a heart wrenching story. So yes in a way I guess I am

I am fairly romantic, but I try to be realistic about it these days.
Sit back, kick off your shoes and grab your drink. Let me read you a story... Stanley Gets A Heart On...I love it when we hang out together, we should do this more often...

I like to think I am, I try to go the extra mile for my lady. and in bed I like to take my time and build up her excitement. I also like to treat her with surprises.

i can be a romantic

I am more romantic than most men I think.
I was a total bastard towards women for many many years. I did not have one romantic bone in my body.
Somebody appeared out of nowhere, suddenly bought colour into my life and changed everything, and here I am.

No, I am cold-hearted......
Okay so I'm not fooling anyone who knows me; I'm not romantic, I'd like to think of myself as thoughtful.

I can be, I suppose, when I try but I don't really... And that is what romance is to me, it's making effort to impress someone, to treat them, to show them you think of them and you're in love with them.

Over ten years ago I was consider a romantic, never saw myself that way but my ex's back then always said that I was......and it was one of the biggest mistake of my life

I don't 'try' to be romantic, but I'm often thanked for my thoughtfulness, and sometimes that involves creating romantic situations I guess. As for 'being romanced' - yes please!

Thats a good question and I am not sure to be honest ... pity this isnt a survey and then I could answer some questions and get the answer.

Would you or someone define what romantic means for him or her? We all dabbling into a domain which we have not laid any parameters.

I would like to think I am.. I think Romance is very important to a relationship, just as hot sex, and communication. You need all of it to keep a relationship working and healthy.

I like to think I am, I believe most of my stories tend to make that apparent, as well.
