>>> I hate valentines day so probably not..![]()
I can be which would surprise a lot of members here. However, a bit like Daniel I get called cheesey when I do it. Though I like to try and meet people who either don't mind me coming out with the odd "cheesey" moment or positively enjoy it.
As Bubba said, I am a die-hard romantic. Always have been. The cheesier the better. I love the idea that someone can love another person so deeply, they would just do anything for them and constantly be thinking how to make them happy.
I know Bubba's not massively into soppy stuff so I try and calm it down a bit with him, but I've done all kind of cute stufd with exes. For Valentine's day I once took a load of photos of my ex and I and turned them into a story book about him being my prince and saving me!! He also went away to Aus for 7 weeks and I created little paper hearts each with a reason why I loved him on- he had one to read each day.
Ofcourse I have done some soppy stuff for Bubba. Once he was feeling rubbish. It was about 11pm and I was getting on a plane to dubai at 7am- airport and 4.30. I drove to Tesco to buy him the new Red Dwarf he had been wanting. Then I chose a few of my DVDs I thought he might like- I wrote little notes on them and took them round to his. Needless to say I was knackered getting on the flight- but it was worth it to make him smile and give him a cuddle.
Romance and love is amazing!
I once slept on the floor of my room so that my girlfriend could have the (twin) bed to herself.
I am known to compose songs for women who I have failed at relationships with.
I cry when there is particularly somber music on.
I know the real meaning of the commonly misused phrase "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" (SPOILER)Literally, "Why are you Romeo?"
I spend a lot of time pondering "That undiscovered country, from whose bourne, no traveler returns." (SPOILER)Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1. He means the afterlife.
I have never, in my life, started a new relationship before I have concluded the previous relationship (i.e., I am monogamous).
I have been known to write songs lamenting the failed relationships I have had in the past.
I play Final Fantasy for the story.
I have taken it upon myself to memorize only a few phrases in French, but one of them is "Vous ette la femme la plus belle que je jamais vue." (SPOILER)"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." This got me a free French credit when I was in college, and I only had to attend the class for the first day and whip out this line.
I am known to compose love ballads about my past failed relationships.
That being said, romance has only ever brought me tears. However, I am what I am, and I can't change that.

Aww, Spooniest- you sound lovely!!! I am sure your 'one' is out there and they will be so grateful for your romantic side!
I may have understated just how romantic I can be earlier. As a Tottenham Hotspurs fan (Yank's look up your soccer teams if you don't know what I'm on about) I grew up in an area of North London almost exclusively divided between Spurs (Tottenham) and the Gunners (Arsenal) You had the occasional Glory Hunter (AKA Manchester United fans) but a special kind of hate was reserved for one club in particular as a kid. That was the South London "Nancy boys" who were supported by only a group of "nonces" I'm talking about only one team clearly here and that team is Chelsea.
Well today, Alison (the girl I'm currently in the process of getting to know) needed to find a children's Chelsea kit with a personalised shirt for her nephew. She was struggling and despite knowing I could never clear the stain from my records I used my work PC to access their store and send her an email across with the link so she could do it easily.
If that isn't romantic, god knows what is.
Yeah I'm quite the romantic. Last Valentine's day I tried to get rose petals to use for the day, but no where had them unless you had pre-booked them, all I could get were roses. So that night I snuck out of bed after Locky fell asleep and picked the petals off of a half dozen roses. When she woke up there was a path of rose petals for her to follow to her various presents around the house, eventually leading to the kitchen where I'd made her bacon in the shape of love hearts.
All that said though.. I just farted in bed while typing this and nearly woke her up, so make of our weird relationship what you will >.>
I think, on the whole. I probably favor the Romantic Movement over the Enlightenment. I mean, they gave us Byron, Keats, both the Shelley's and there are quie a few American Romantic authors I enjoy as well.
Fits of anger do usually leave me crying too if they involve my girlfriend. I don't like getting mad at her and after I get all that rage out of me I just feel like the biggest piece of trout and hate myself.
It's annoying.
But my personality type is one of contradictions, which explains why very little in my head makes sense.
No except when I was in France. France DOES things to you. It's the air I think.
In my head I am totally romantic and I imagine all kinds of occasions that I wish would happen to me.
In reality though, I doubt I'd ever act on any of them. I'm as romantic as a tumbleweed >.>
No, not at all.
