| Misti | The idiotic movie formula that goes something like this: man and woman hook up man and woman break up 'cause the man thinks he can do better man realizes he can't do better and makes a beeline to the woman who gratefully takes his sorry ass back examples: "Officer and a Gentleman," "Jerry Maguire," "Pretty Woman." |
| spaceman | Forbidden love...not because it isn't true or powerful, but because it causes so many damned problems. My ex-girlfriend's favorite movie was about a million hours long, she taped it off tv, about a priest and some woman in Australia, and she thought it was the saddest thing, and in spite of myself, so did I. |
| Kirk | That I am one (a romantic, that is ;-) In terms of romance itself, probably the idea that there's one great love. |
| Inflatable Sushi | The poet. |
| Rhetoric | those that pretend they don't need it to be happy the lonesome soul is very overdone |
| TJ Holland | Well, definately anything that combines candles, flowers, dinner for two, and a heart shaped box of chocolates. These things are fine individually, with spontaneitey, but as a whole...well BARF!!!!! And then (to comiserate with Misti) equally disgusting is: Woman and man accidentally meet Woman has violet eyes Man has steel grey eyes Attraction between the two occurs Woman is too independant (read: too dysfunctional) to be attracted to man Woman forces herself to hate man Man is confused Man starts hating woman for making him confused Man goes about his business Woman becomes confused Woman runs from man Woman winds up in peril Man saves woman Woman beats fists upon man's chest Man embraces woman tightly Woman cries and runs from man Man searches and finds woman Man confesses his love to confused woman Woman confesses love to frustrated man Marriage True romance is being 80 with your spouse and sharing the dentures. HA!! |
| RainbowChaser | romantics are not always men, but when i find a good male romantic..i WILL hold onto him |
| deevaa | that you can lie face to face in bed and have any akward sticky out limbs! (what are you meant to do with the underneth arm? LOL) |
| spaded | That a true romantic must write sappy poetry, and sing puppy love songs under your window at two in the morning in the pouring rain, and send you flowers all the time for no reason, and never forget anything about your relationship...etc. etc... There are so many. I am a hopeless romantic at heart, but I am lucky to remember my current love interests middle name. And if a guy brought flowers to my window at two in the morning in the pouring rain to sing me love songs and read me romantic poetry... Well ok maybe once would be pretty mind boggling, but after that I think i'd be pissed, I mean that's pretty late you know? I would probably lean towards looney in a lock my doors and windows kind of way, as opposed to romantic, make sense? love, hugs, and one long slow kiss ( yeah to you) spaded |
| Hcat | Tragic. Once-in-a-lifetime love found, then lost, and to go on with life without living, always mourning the memory, never moving on. Alone. Empty. ugh. I love you, Dimples, but I gotta say, If I lost you, I'd mourn, and move on. I'd get on with life. I'd never forget, tho..... ever. |
| Bridget O | i hate the Romeo and Juliet type of story. I mean it was a good story and all but theres a reason why it was fiction. Juliet was 13 for god's sake and she killed herself over her first love. If we all did that well there wouldn't be overpopulation! Eck. |
| Just Some Girl | Rich boy, poor girl. Or, vice versa. Too much money makes him/her shallow until poor girl/boy shows the way to true happiness!!! See "Pretty in Pink." |
| Liz | That love conquers all, because sometimes, it most assuredly does not! |
