Are Fireworks a Couple Thing?
Do you ever feel like fireworks are a couples thing? I know I do.
Tonight we had fireworks around the block where I live. And I've always felt like going to see them was a couples thing to do. I've never had anyone to share them with. Now I do. But I still didn't go tonight. As I heard them go off, I looked out the window just to see what they looked like, it made me feel so lonely. I know I'm probably not the only one that feels like that. Why do I think fireworks are a couples thing?
Well.. when you meet someone you really like, or you kiss someone you really like, some will say they felt "fireworks." It's usually shared between both people. Meaning they connected and are meant to be together. Sitting side by side cuddling watching fireworks will always remind you of the first time you kissed each other, or the first date, or the first time you saw each other, or meet each other.. whatever the case. It was a special moment shared. Just like a fireworks display. So many beautiful colors sparked from one little tube on the ground. You light it, it grows, and sparks in the sky.
Just like fireworks.. love starts small, grows, and then sparks and is such a beautiful thing even though some may get hurt. But it may be all worth it end the end. Fireworks are great, especially when you have someone to share it with. Just like love.
Do you feel the same?

No. I view fireworks as an enjoyable activity which paves a great interest in science the the dynamics of each firework, its ability to spark, build, sputter and spout out different designs and colours as well as the distinctive noises they all emit.
No, fireworks always make me think of my first time at Disneyworld. Either that or the grandeur of old China.
I do. Fireworks and kissing are fantabulous together. Kissing always set's of major fireworks in my brain.
Not necessarily, fireworks make me think of family times outside and Disneyland :D
But besides that I don't really like fireworks, they're too loud >.>
Fireworks make me anxious because they trigger delusional "memories" of bombs going off.
I just think they're pretty
i used to think that. but i think its also enjoyable with family n friends
It'd be special to be with a loved one under fireworks, for sure, but I think fireworks are for everyone. For example, Guy Fawkes night here is a huge family thing, we even have community shows and stuff.
i've always enjoyed fireworks more with my boyfriend and felt the same way. though before i had anyone i did enjoy the fourth with my friends and such, it's just a fun holiday. but my boyfriend and i definitely both enjoy fireworks together<3
i think "couple" things are overrated. i think people think that way when they're single. because i think when i was younger, i thought ice skating was such a nice couple thing to do. holding hands and ice skating and falling and laughing. but uhm, ice skating with my boyfriend wasn't much different then ice skating and having fun with my girls :) things can be fun with friends, with a man or a girl, or by yourself. you just have to make it enjoyable :D
A lot of things are better shared with a loved one but that does not make them a 'couple thing'. Fireworks are like sunsets they can be enjoyed by yourself on your own.
I used to think it was a couple thing. However, fireworks now only fill me with awe and amazement. I love hanging out with my friends and family when I watch fireworks because it's just so pretty like that.
No, fireworks are an atmospheric thing that can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. I've always gone to see fireworks with friends or family, and their being there doesn't make it any less special just because I don't feel romantic "fireworks" with them. You can easily have a special moment with other important people in your life, and you can be reminded of plenty of other memories - mine are all from my childhood when I would sit on my brothers' or parents' shoulders to watch the Festival of Lights fireworks.
They're really directed toward two completely different demographics, which probably shouldn't sit near each other...couples and families. The couples don't want children screaming whenever there's a loud BOOM, and the families don't want the young lovers doing less than appropriate things in front of their kids.
I think seeing fireworks with someone you love is romantic, but seeing fireworks without them is still fun! You can enjoy them alone or with friends! They're pretty, they go boom, and the smell of gunpowder lingers around for a while. I don't really like kissing during fireworks because I want to watch the fireworks.. I'm afraid I'd miss a really good one if I closed my eyes for a few seconds.
i never thought about it like that, i just was never into fireworks.
No. I went with a group of people on the 4th of July and that was fun
No. I shoot fireworks.
can't you also feel fireworks with someone you just met but aren't a couple with?
eh, i think its just an experience you should share with someone else, not necessarily as couple, but maybe as a family or group of friends.
I drool when I watch fireworks.
So... Definitely not.. unless your into that kind of thing...
great metaphor.
I've never though of fireworks that way.
I just thought of them as different chemicals being lit while suspended in air.
But then, I'm working to be a chemical engineer.
This was insightful. Thanks ;)
No. I typically go with my family. <3
Although this year, I DID watch fireworks with my boyfriend.
@asininity - And it was awesome.
