I saw this comment on a friend's Facebook, "Whatever happened to romance?"
It makes me laugh to think about it. I doubt there was any more romance in the past than there is today. In fact, I'm willing to bet there was less romance back in the day anyway, but whatever... it doesn't matter to me anyway.
I love romance. I love it. I can't get enough. I love taking a girl out. I love treating her special. I love seeing that look in her eyes, where she's just eating up your every word.
You know what else I love? I love that the average guy is such a scrub. You know who my competition is? I've got some players with money, but whatever. They're losers too. When girls are done getting jilted by the rich boys, they can come fall in love. Honestly, most of the guys here don't really do anything. I'm an educated guy who can converse with almost anyone about any subject. I've lived a rich life full of crazy experiences. And yes, players only love you when they're playing... but what's that mean that girls should do?
Well, maybe they should run... but really, what are they getting and what are they losing? They're getting that romance, that sweep you off your feet feeling; they'll feel like the world revolves around them for a little while. I'm like a great drug, and then, when I'm gone? Well, you can call me later and we'll kick it some more.
What are you protecting yourself from anyway? I won't be dishonest with you. I won't treat you bad. I'll dance with you. I'll take you to fancy dinners. I'll make fancy dinners for you. I'll show you beautiful things, and make you feel alive. I'll buy you flowers and watch you melt. I'll show you how to enjoy each and every moment. I'll show you that every moment is an opportunity for something exciting. It's just that I really won't be yours, but who ever really belongs to someone else anyway?
What did you want out of a relationship anyway? Did you want financial security? Well, I've got that, but I thought this wasn't supposed to be about money. Did you want emotional security? Well, funny thing is I used to be a good boy, really just a one woman man, and do you know what happened? Every girlfriend of mine couldn't ever trust me. It's not like I was out constantly checking girls out. I didn't have wandering eyes before. It would just take 1 friend. There would be one girl that they'd be threatened by, and it would blow up. So you know what? Emotional security? Sorry, you've got to look inward for that. Did you want someone to grow old with? You give up too easy. That'll happen no matter what.
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
Sorry, I'll be your wild ride as long as you'll let me. I'll love you while I'm playing, and as long as you feel like being played with, I'll be around. As far as relationships, well, I don't even know what I want anymore. It seems I can make it work with anyone, so who?
Maybe romance is dead, but it doesn't have to be... and for those who know how to throw it around, well, the world is yours and all these girls are out there hungry for it. For those girls who are out there, yeah, you might get your heart broken, but I'll fix that too. I'll still be there. I just won't be yours to keep. Didn't sharing mean caring?
Do you think romance is dead? What is it that you're really looking for in a relationship?
True

Correction. love IS a great drug, and when all is done, all you want is the feeling back. That's why some people get addicted to love or wanting to be back in love. (lightbulb goes off) Be right back!
this post confuses me...
No I don't think romance is dead, but the idea of romance has been warped by media. I also don't think romance is only present with "players" ....
I'm not sure I understand where you were going with this, but that may be because after I read the Fleetwood Mac quote, I spent the remainder of the article singing.
Every guy has the potential to be a great player, with all the right lines at all the right times- but it's a facade. That is, until he finds that one girl. It stops over night. All of a sudden you aren't saying all the right things to get a roll in the hay, you're saying them because you care.
There's no way romance is dead. We all find it and that drug rush never stops.
use 'em and lose 'em
I don't think its romantic if someone doesnt take the relationship seriously..
Well, to carry the analogy, basically you are a dealer, get them hooked...but what happens when the drug runs out?
Love is the drug and I need to score.
Not sure really what this was supposed to be about.
@ccccourage@xanga - if you are truly a romantic person the romance never runs out. Romance is about personalizing and making little things important as well. It can be cleaning the bathroom or making her favorite meal all the way up to giving her the trip she's always wanted. Doesn't matter, Giving all your attention to her needs as well as her wants constitutes it. I'm sure I'll have some corrections but that is just ONE part of the definition.
being in love is good.
i kinda like this though it's difficult to follow in some places... i think this is about mixed feelings on how and why u are a player now but not before?
it IS a drug. oxytoxin and serotonin and dopamine, and many neurotransmitters in your head play a roll.
