    Nope.

    There are a couple of chick flicks that I like though.

    I used to be.

    I don't know that I believe anymore.

    Reevaluating.

    Very much so. I can see no other outcome, but to consider oneself a postmodern Neo Romantic in this Age of Information.

    Now excuse me while I indulge in some mindless hedonism in the form of Youtube cat videos.

    Yes, I think so, but I am just somewhat unpracticed. I haven't had the chance to refine my romantic tendencies by using them on a lady creature.

    I can be romantic. I have the insight and know how to be properly romantic.

    But I'm too realistic to be a proper romantic. I don't believe in soul mates, or anything of that sort. Love is something you work at, and romantic situations don't spontaneously happen. They require effort, insight, creativity, and preparation.

    I would be if I could find a partner! Especially these days, you know the whole 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' thing? I think when you're on your own for a long time, people like me appreciate romance a lot more. The feeling of being intensely close to someone, completely absorbed in each other and nothing else. That sort of closeness is something that really appeals to me.

    I guess I'm not big on what we traditionally call 'romantic gestures'. The box of chocolates, the barbershop quartet, the candlelit dinners, the can be nice but are relatively ostentatious and lack a certain... intimacy. But when it comes to cuddling on the sofa or sharing a bubble bath or taking walks through the park - I love that stuff.

    I'm all for doing everything I can to keep a girl happy - make money, good listener etc., but romantic stuff I'm not so great at. Even the thoughts of getting down on one knee just brings cheesefest into my mind. I've bought flowers before, but I think buying flowers is different for me.

    I think I am, a bit too much. I'm kinda stuck in the fairytale land most little girls are in at the age of six.

    i think my ideals of romance will never be met xD

    I think Paul said something to me on Whatsapp the other day which basically put me in my place.

    "Steve, we all know that whilst you've had the time being a player and yes, we can't deny that. You are at heart a bloody romantic and whats more is that you're all bloody heart so stop acting like things don't phase you because they do!"

    Kudos to him, man knows me better than I know myself at times. That or he'll just voice the things I won't.

    I have… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like, tears… in… rain.

    It's actually "Wake up, time to die!"

    But you are quoting Blade Runner and that means that you are awesome.

    Actually, the last words of that little speech are "Time...to die." Though you are also correct with your quote, it is spoken in a different part by a different character.
