Hello folks, I also posted on the Women's forum but I'd also love to hear the thoughts of men-folk on PC. I can't post on the men's forum so here it is...

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. Men and women

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

Thoughts? Men folk, I'm not going to bash you if you say romance is a waste of time or don't value the concept. If you feel that way, I'd love to read your perspective. The differences fascinate me to be honest. And I have at least one female friend who doesn't value romance at all and hates flowers! Not that flowers = romance. You folks know what I mean
