I am somewhat of a romantic, I would much rather find love than a peice of hot ass.

Then again im also a hopeless romantic, i have like seriously NO game, its kinda sorry, and even if i do manage to pull off getting a date, god shows he hates me and mucks it all up (last date the power went out in the diner we went to and she took a spill and broke her arm, her parents blamed me for some reason and that was the end of that)

I've always been too angry and bitter to be a romantic.

I'm guessing it isn't because of your linguistic skills?

I'm sometimes very romantic, or at least compared to my friends (they seem unable to date girls who I'd catergarize as "sane"). But given I rarely bother with girls, I don't know if it counts. If, on any level, I decide I want to be with them I try to do it right, so I guess that makes me something of a romantic.

I think the girlfriends/boyfriends of those wanting to answer should answer this for a more accurate poll :D

I'm too cold to be a romantic.

When girls in school become interested in me, it's usually because they've noticed that I try to keep things fair. And I don't lie.

But then if we actually do get together, it becomes a problem, because I won't always take her side in arguments if she's wrong. And I'll willfully argue against her, which is apparently not cool in society today. And chances are she's Christian, because this is Oklahoma, and I'm definitely an atheist. Also, "Would you say I'm hot?" "I'd say you're pretty average." "I hate you!"

What the hell ever happened to telling the truth, no matter what it is. Are people today just too weak for reality or something? What's so wrong with 'average' anyway? Most people are average, that's why it's called average. No matter who you are, the odds of you being 'average' far surpass the odds of you being above or below average.

I have maybe a tiny sliver of romantic feelings but most of the time I'm really bitter and hateful about it.

i soooo know where your coming from, but every girl wants to hear that she's the prettiest girl in the world, its kind of like how all men want to hear that we've won the lottery

See, this, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with modern dating.

I don't give a fuck about fucking. What I care about is being the everything for someone, and knowing that they can mean everything to me. I want to listen to her problems, and just hold her til she feels better. God I'm alone....

This thread has some bad timing for me. The whole potentially on off thing i have with a girl here. Not worked out if she's just playing me and just likes the attention or accidentally flirty. One thing i do know she doesn't want a relationship but has suggested some other interesting outcomes a while ago. Which at the time i didn't take. Because i'm a hopeless romantic fool.

The problem is that she wants to be the prettiest girl in the world in your eyes. Thats the whole point of why she asks you that - she is not asking "Comparing the individual features, do I match the modern standard of beauty better than other girls?". She is asking "Are your feelings for me strong enough that I look beautiful to you?".

Nope, I know exactly how you feel.
But women are to blame as much as men, so says applied psychology. Gah. I could rant on this and turn out a text wall. Easily.

I agree and disagree. She wants to be the prettiest world in the other's eyes, but I think he did the right thing. Otherwise he's just telling her she's beautiful to make her feel good and while this is all well and good if the intentions are correct, if he's doing it to get in her pants or just because she wants to hear it then there's no real purpose. Honesty is still the best choice.

I think I understand what Indigo is talking about here but for me, I'm not the most open of people and mostly I keep my problems to myself. So yeah it does me leave me with the problem of helping someone else out with their crisis and sounding like either I don't care or sounding like an uncaring machine about this sort of stuff, any chance anyone could explain to me why things like this seem to be really important?

Yes, and I do respect his honesty, but - and this is really the major thing - if he was in said relationship he really should have felt it. And he should also relize she has every right to be pissed off.

simple, its a conspiracy. Women are specifically built by the powers that be to confuse the shit out of men, its just a fact. They claim not to understand us...but its a lie, they know everything about us and can read us like a book, and they enjoy asking men questions like "do you think i look fat?" just to watch them squirm. Have you ever wondered why all the print on womens' T-shirts is always on the breasts? It's simply because they wanna mess with our heads, u wanna read it but the challenge if figuring out how to read it without getting caught, because you know she doesnt think your actually READING.

Perhaps the correct answer would be "You're certainly the most beautiful girl in my life!" and then you should be able to avoid lying while still making her feel pretty...tactful solutuion eh?

Well I try to be romantic but I always do something 'cute' instead which isn't what I was aiming for.

Thing is, I don't plan, I just make stuff up on the spot. I don't have some pre-set charm or tactic. I just follow my instincts.... although I know how to control my other natural instincts which I find most girls appreciate.

I'm a romantic!

To quote Rincewind; "Just because I'm bad at it doesn't change the fact that I am one".

Yeah, I checked "hopeless". None of my relationships work out, and I'm yet to find out why.
