what should i do ... i would like for him to be at least a bit more romantic!?..
wtf.gif


 
Have you tried talkin to him? Maybe he thinks that you dont like the romatic stuff so he doesnt feel the need to put any effort into it. Sit down and talk to him and tell him that you would like for him to be more romantic and see where it goes from there.

i just don t think hes into that ...

 
maybe he tries to be romantic in other ways.. like in doing things for you - putting gas in the car, or whatever? some men just dont feel comfortable being romantic, but they try to show you how much they care in other ways.

 
i have the same issue with jay!! and ive talked to him about it and it just kinda gets shrugged off his shoulders. i told him to do his research online or watch some chic flicks..lol.

 
Tell him to be more romantic? There is nothing you can really do but communicate your needs to him. He is not a mind reader, no man is, so if you dont tell him that you need him to romance you, since he doesnt act that way out of character, then he wont know!

...yea macho man type

 
Well, you can't change a person so I guess if you love him you should accept it. Seems like you have vocalized your need for romance and he isn't into it. The only thing you can do is either try to make him see how nice romance can be by showing him, or just letting it go.

As others said... he may not show it in the typical roses and chocolate type of way... but if he does other things for you because he cares about you - those are I think a whole lot better.

 
my husband is the way and i kind of got used to it sometimes i tell him to be more romantic and his excuse is that a girl should be romantic and the guy will just follow whatever that means

If you are asking "what you should do" you must not accept it. You want him to change and be more romantic. When I said "Let go", I didn't mean dump him, I meant let go of the ideal of romanticism in your relationship.

but you aren't really accepting how he is. You are unhappy enough about it to ask advice so maybe you do need to think about it more. Whatever the case, I hope things work out the way you would like them to. We all need a little romance.

Manders we were posting at the same time. Great minds think alike ;p

 
if you talked about it & hes not into it, just let it go. you cant force him to be romantic, or he could think you're being too pushy.

 
cass, keep in mind he's also going through things right now...

then again, he was like this from the beginning, no?

i'm lost! i'm still mad i didn't see him the other day lol

lol im sure youll get the chance to see him some day lol...

see ya soon miss ya

 
i could relate to your post...my bf hasn't bought me a single flower for the last two years. although he has given me lots of other stuff...i do wish someone would shout to his eardrums that women like flowers too. lol!

 
Men aren't so good at reading between the lines... the best way is to tell him you want more romance.
