Its the Thought that Counts

It may come as a shock to many of you as I say this, but I am a romantic at heart. A single red rose can bring a tear to my eye. I love dancing in the moonlight. Nothing in the world beats kissing in the rain, and any guy who serenades me with "Can't take my eyes off of you," I will be his forever. But, sadly there isn't much of that going on these days, Romance that is.

For most women a bouquet of flowers is hard to come by and you're lucky if you find a guy who knows how to slow dance. And although guys will make fun of us girls forever for loving chick flicks sometimes all we want is a little romance. I mean seriously, we don't watch them for the plot lines...ok some people do, but overall we love those adorable acts of romantic bliss strategically placed throughout the movie. Now don't get me wrong, I realize that I'm not going to hire a male escort to come to my sister's wedding with me and magically fall in love with him, (If you don't get this reference you NEED to watch The Wedding Date.) that's just not how the world works. But, you have to admit that guy had moves!

What I'm trying to get at with this is mainly a message to the guys. Something you need to realize is that its not what you buy us, its how you treat us. I'm not the type of girl that needs to be shower with gifts, but Romance is really very simple. A moonlit walk in the park, (On campus works too.) going to the beach and turning on some music and dancing, a little homemade card just to say how special we are. See? A little imagination and you're set. The simplest little things mean so much to us, and you know that if you show a little love, we'll show it back.
