I haven't seen anyone open a door for someone lately (under the age of 80, that is!) but I sure do remember my friend's dad doing that and I always found it to be such a touching gesture of kindness and love.

Yes sex is part of love but to me it is not the most important. Me and my Hubby have been married 8 yrs and I wanted to do it right this time. He has been opening the door for me since our first date and has never stopped.

It could even be a vacation or cruise. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, there comes a time in every couple's life when purchasing power is next to nil. Then what?<BR/><BR/>Romance is what you make it.

Women crave it for the most part and if men are given good examples when growing up, they'll provide and expect some too.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I'm seeing lots of evidence around here that young men don't treat the young ladies in proper ways. I'm talking about high school, where this sort of thing begins. The girls seem to crave love and Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-18119257210392537722008-07-12T11:31:00.000-04:002008-07-12T11:31:00.000-04:00Cindy, bravo on your son!

He holds the door for me. When we stay in hotels, he takes the side closest to the door for protection. When he cooks he takes extra care to make my food the way I like. Those are all romantic gestures, he just doesn't see it that way.<BR/><BRAnne Raineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110446131001665977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-54212064574606619952008-07-12T10:57:00.000-04:002008-07-12T10:57:00.000-04:00Kelley,sorry I got on such a roll in the last comm...Kelley,sorry I got on such a roll in the last comment,I lost track of what this topic was suspose to be about,I'll do better this time,I know for me romance is still alive & going strong with my hubby & myself,out of the blue he'll bring me flowers,or come up behind me & pop me on my butt 7 wrap his arms around me,just because,if you know what I mean,all the little things that lets you know your Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605638591554884818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-29332034294732864452008-07-12T10:49:00.000-04:002008-07-12T10:49:00.000-04:00Hey Kelley,my favorite topic,Romance,your hubby so...Hey Kelley,my favorite topic,Romance,your hubby sounds like a great guy,& like you I am very lucky to have a great hubby too,even after21 yrs. he still opens doors for me,& all the little things that so many women don't seem to want or appreciate today,my son a a sweety,that went somewhere with us,(& we have taught both our boys to be gentlemen) anyway, he opened the car door for her & instead ofCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605638591554884818noreply@blogger.com
