Understanding the discourse: romantic.

i am blond.

P.S. (dry humor)
P.P.S. actually, i am in fact blond. seriously.

I beg to differ!  Take passion for ice-cream for example; how is it possible to be possessed by it?  I'd much rather possess it!  Same with people. 

To posses ice cream is to enjoy it.

To be possessed by it is for it to enjoy your hips

"Romantic" means different things for a man and a woman.
SOME men, like Mars, think of a sexual drive. There is nothing wrong about it, IMO. That is  THIS man's idea of being romantic. I met ladies like that too.

IMO, emotional side overtakes the practical for a romantic person, like myself. For a romantic person, the practical value of the event doesn't have any significance whatsoever.

A small example, when you get the roses from your boyfriend, husband,  or your man, esp if all this is in the environment conducive to it, you inhale the Divine scent and tell him that the scent is sending back the reminiscences when he  gave you  roses the very first time. When he said your hair had the scent of freshly cut grass, and was nice to touch......

 About flowers : as per a RW  .

 Somebody  famous said that flowers are a piece of heaven on Earth. In my opinion, a precise definition, gents!

 A flower is a SYMBOL. Has nothing to do with practicality or usefulness. A flower is a symbol of beauty, tenderness, harmony, the symbol of the best feelings and intentions. It is a symbol of short lived beauty of the moment, that happiness is ephemeral, yet so desired ...... Russian women LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!! flowers.

I consider "romantic"= interested in my life. For example if I say that I need to do something (like a new project at work) and after a week a man asks: "How is your new project?" I find it much more romantic than any number of flowers or romantic evenings .

Soooo, how IS that new project going?

LadyR-

On the subject of romance, I noticed no one else raised the question or even made a remark about it, but on another thread you gave a brief summary of your current situation. So, I'm very curious because had the situation happened, or was reported by a male poster, the regulars will be all over the person but so far you've been under the radar...

You were engaged to be married last February and both you and your fiance filed a K-1. By June, you said you broke of the engagement and pulled out of the K-visa.

By mid-October, you got another US boyfriend and found yourself trying to acquire a tourist visa to visit him. You even mentioned that if this doesn't work out, both you and your new fiance will simply file a K-1 to enable you to come to USA.

I'm curious...like I said, on the subject of romance, what happened to your last relationship? Was there any remorse - a period of reflection after the break-up? Or did new 'man' swept you off your feet and made breaking up with the previous fiance a little bit easier to handle? How did you meet your new fiance and how long did it take for you to decide he's the one for you?

I've met my new boyfriend after maybe 1-1,5 month after breaking-up. And we are not speaking about K-1 seriously right now and I'm not sure that he is "one for me" yet (as I already wrote, to spend several weeks together and to talk everyday by phone is nice and romantic but has nothing to do with actual family life). I think that if I don't get a tourist visa we'll meet somewhere on the neutral territory again (we already met in Europe and he visited Moscow).

Speaking about "period of reflection" - well, it's a long story and I'm afraid I have to tell too many personal details here. My former fiancee was a very good man, we just were not for each other. Unfortunately having limited communication and different cultures doesn't help to estimate this from the beginning.

Lady R-

Thanks for the response...

While I do not judge nor devalue your position, I will be candid and say I am somewhat bothered by the haste in the period between your relationships.

Be that as it may, I wish you the very best and do hope you are successful in acquiring your tourist visa and your future endeavors.

Thank you You know, my previous marriage (before my former fiancee) lasted 10 years+2 years we knew each other before marriage. And if someone told me 1,5 year ago that I'll meet another man in my life I think I'd say "LOL, never".. So I can completely understand your thoughts about haste ). But you never know what life will show you after next turn...

[GQBlues]

10 years, Wow! I'm approaching 5 years and never did I thought before I'd even be married at all...so yes, things can and do happen.

Speaking of marriage and romance, the couple I currently work for now just celebrated their 63rd anniversary and they feel as much in love as they did when they just first started dating.

The story goes that they met in a skating rink and he spotted her for the first time and skated alongside her and his first words to her were, "Hi, we dont know each other yet but I just want to tell you now that I know we'll be married soon." Her first words to him were, "You're crazy! Get away from me!"

He was, and still is, charmingly persistent. Long story short, they were married less than a month from that time and are still very much in-love today. They still proudly share this story to anyone and everyone willing to listen.

How's that for romance? Little of it in the beginning - but is now lasting them a lifetime.

So yes, things do happen.

LadyR,

As your name suggests, you are indeed a lady.  Some AM and RW would have taken GQ's comment about haste and replied defensively.  Instead, you responded in a perfect matter-of-factly style.

Hope you stay around and grace our threads.  And good luck with your trip to see your man. 

BTW, when I researched a tourist visa, someone who knew best told me the most reliable method is to purchase a tour through a travel agent.  The problem is that these are inclusive and you would be paying for a hotel in New York, Miami or wherever the tour goes.

.. So I can completely understand your thoughts about haste )....

Ahh you see Gator, as in all my life, I always found great comfort being understood by ladies far more deeply than do the men.
