Hello Women Friends

I was recently reflecting on romance. I am in a relationship with a good and loving man who is not romantic (in my perception). I imagine romance means different things for different people. Or perhaps some of you don't value the concept at all? What are your thoughts? Does romance matter to you? Do you have an example of something that you found really romantic from a partner? All perspectives welcome. I am really curious what others think

For example, on Valentine's Day my significant other asked "do you want me to buy you flowers?" I love fresh flowers any time but if I have to ask for them to be purchased, there's no romance in that. So I just said no thanks, it's okay. It's funny really. He just perceives fresh flowers as a complete waste of money because they die but fresh flowers make me smile and feel special. Different brains, different perspectives! I am not criticizing him. As I said, he's a very good man.

Thoughts?
