I am such a girly girl when it comes to just about everything but romance. It’s not that I don’t enjoy a sappy chick flick that ends with a big Hollywood kiss as onlookers clap and cheer. I have watched Only You an endless number of times and still cry like a fool during that last scene where the scrumptious-in-that-drugged-out-and-tattered-sorta-way Robert Downey Jr. kisses Marisa Tomei when she gets on the plane finally having realized that she loves him. Fuck! I’m crying right now! But when it comes to the men in my life? Let’s just say that certain romantic gestures make me wanna hurl in a not so pretty way. This makes things very confusing to the men who want to woo me.
Being the kind girl that I am, I have decided to break it down to make it easier for any man who wishes to continue to woo me from here on. (*Nuno take note**)
What I DON'T like:
Bad icky love poems—rhyming or otherwise
Teddy bears or other plush toys with hearts sewn on
Red roses
Romantic letters that sound nothing like you
Gifts of jewelry… except for this beautiful engagement ring when the time is right
Hearing I love you so often that it’s said out of habit more than feeling
What I DO like:
Well written poetry with a sexy or raw edge (Important: said poetry does not have to be written by you if you are not a wordsmith. Just telling me that you thought of me when you stumbled on it is romantic enough.)
Sex toys, pretty paper and pens as these show me that you support what I do and love
Pink or white roses given when you are not apologizing for something
Sticky notes or notes on any paper you could find saying something that you would say to me during an amazing night of lovemaking
An impromptu road trip or late night visit will get you farther than a necklace or bobble
Hearing how amazing I make you feel is an awesome alternative to a forced “I love
you”
Your time… because I know how precious it is.
Showing me that I am worth your time is the grandest gesture of all.
Damn! I am a great catch!!

You are a fab catch! No wonder i like you so much! I agree with everything ! I can’t stand fake, forced , sappy romantic b.s.!
You’re not a girly-girl in spite of your not being romantic, you’re a girly-girl because of you not being romantic.
You still haven’t gotten that after all these years that romance is for men? Women are far too harshly realistic to enjoy that stuff outright- they more enjoy the effort men put into it.
