    Tucking me to sleep, holding my hand during a nerve-wrecking moment, whipping me a cup of coffee, handind over my slippers, dancing in the kitchen, talking late at night on the phone, and asking permission from my parents – that's romantic. It's the little things that get me.

    Romantic? It's like doing little things for the one you love. It's hearing his/her voice first thing in the morning saying goodmorning and before the day ends with a "goodnight". I love how two people share their umbrella in the rain, reminds me of someone. <3

    Romantic for me is when my man bravely goes to the "romance" section of a bookstore (ignoring the weird look the women gives him), buy the book he knew I would love, spend hours waiting in line to get the book signed by my favorite author, then give it to me as a surprise gift. And in return, he would only ask one thing. To see me smile. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Romantic is not searching for tangible things. Romantic for me is falling in love with him, just because of his sweet words and his simple actions, like opening doors, texting you early in the morning. Romantic is seeing the things you never thought you were looking for.

    Romantic is a word for a person who's willing to do everything for their love ones. For me, the word "romantic" is a gesture to show their love for someone like having a candlelit dinner with the one you love, dancing aimlessly under the blue moon, serenading and such. And definitely, romantic is someone who gives much efforts and has their own way of making the special someone

    Romantic is a sign that your in love. That, if he/she takes you to any place you'll still feel the passion of being in love. When you eat street foods with him/her, when he/she takes you to a cheap amusement parks, etc. It does not matter. As long as your with him/her you'll feel the romantic. :)))

    Romantic for me is when someone do something silly, ridiculous or absurd things for the one they love. Romantic people is usually those tough and they're unaware to their acts. When you're madly in love, you're being romantic for someone you truly love.

It's about the sincerity of the person in making you feel his/her pure and genuine love and care. It can be through words, action or both. For me, it can be as simple as a guy holding my hands, looking straight into my eyes, confessing his feelings for me. "It's the

But for me, what&#39;s more romantic is when you&#39;re walking the streets with the one you love, no holding hands, with that silence that never seems to be awkward– that contented and complete feeling inside you, knowing that in every path you&#39;ll take, the two of you are together.

Romance can physically or mentally affect our life. That feeling where you will say that &quot;If this was a dream, I wish I never wake up.&quot; or &quot;I&#39;m so lucky to have a moment like this.&quot; Romantic is something that can

    Romantic for me is that when the man you love, loves you back and shows how he cares for you and he&#39;s expressing his love to you not just through words but through action. And also when the guy randomly hugs you from the back and says he loves you very much and when he respects you physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

    Being romantic is shown not just in sweet messages or luxury gifts. By just a mere message, asking him/her how s/he&#39;s doing or if s/he has already eaten is a way of expressing your love and care. By spending time with the person you love, you can already show how much you value him/her. It&#39;s not just the gifts, it&#39;s the effort and sincerity – no matter how big or small it is, that

    Romantic is when you feel contented and happy with your partner. It is a feeling that makes both of you feel lucky to have each other- without thinking what other people will say. It is also a treasured feeling that every girl wants to feel when the right time and the right person comes to her life.

    Romantic has nothing to do with the place, the time– the setting. For some, it&#39;s the elaborate gestures, the bouquet of flowers, the kneeling on one knee as he proposes, then the lights will slowly open everywhere, or sunsets while holding hands. But for me, it could be just the simple I Love You texts that wakes me up in the morning, or his face lighting up every time we meet, or the cute

    Being Romantic is not just about doing cheesy stuffs for your partner. Even simple gestures and a little touch of care could bring endless romantic feeling especially if you are a girl. For me, a simple back hug would do the trick. Or maybe just sitting under the tree feeling the breeze while you are leaning on each other is enough to be romantic. No more money or extra effort needed. โ™ฅ

    Romantic is a characteristic most women want their partner to be. It is expressing their feelings in their own different way. Romantic is a synonym of strange. Why strange? Because you are unfamiliarized in doing it and it just comes out with you especially when you want to express your love or affection towards your opposite. You just find out yourself being pecular.
