Romantic Overtures...

I watched Sex and the City last nite, where Carrie was romanced by Alexsandr.

It invoked the girly girl in me that wants to be swept off her feet. (Recall my Cinderalla-esque longing?)

I watched as Miranda and Steve tied the knot...finding eachother was almost a covert mission, admitting they loved eachother was an even harder task. But they found eachother...

I feel like running in the opposite direction again...metaphorically.

When Carrie told the girls about all the romantic things Alexsandr was doing for her, Miranda gagged. Carrie mentions that in NYC romantic is when a guy gives u his seat on the train. Miranda gives a "here-here" on that note. I actually agree, its sweet when a guy gives u his seat...u tend not to see it happen much these days.

He isnt romantic.

Why arent guys romantic?!??!?!

And when u ask them about it, they get all defensive. How come its so hard for guys to realise how much it is worth their while to make an effort here and there?

Not all the time, otherwise it wouldnt be special...and im not saying u would have to celebrate every month of ur anniversary or anything...to me, thats overkill...i have learnt my lesson from the past!

My friend who is a Jehovah's Witness, explained to me why she didnt celebrate occasions anymore, due to her religion of course, but (and i must agree) that you should show ur appreciation and love to the person each and every day.

Why should u wait until Valentine's Day to show ur affection and do something romantic???

I dont think u should wait.

I dont think u should refrain from doing something romantic.

I dont think its fair to just declare that "you dont do that sort of thing, so dont expect it!"

Like wtf?!

Anyways...TBC...if i feel like it!
