How Romantic Are You?
HEARTS AND FLOWERS
You are the uber-romantic. To you the world is one big Harlequin novel -- or it should be. You love, love, love all the romantic accoutrements: flowers, candy, moonlit dances, poetry and more. Not for you is the notion that once a couple settles in, it's okay if their life together becomes routine. Rather, your view is that lovers should always aim to keep a "snap, crackle and pop" in their relationship.
This is wonderful in the sense that you will never take a man for granted. You will always wear sexy undies to bed, plan special surprises for his birthday and harbor a yen for intimate conversations by candlelight.
This is not so wonderful in the sense that you have a tendency toward idealizing love. Remember that you really need to get to know a person before you proclaim to him, and the world, that the two of you are soul mates. And once you're a unit, don't expect your partner to always be in the mood to put on a "show" for you (with candies, presents, etc.) He is not Super Romantic Man (sorry, but no man is -- except, occasionally, on the Hollywood big screen). Sometimes he just wants to watch TV, grab fast food (versus a gourmet meal) or chill by himself in the den. This doesn't say anything bad about you or your relationship. It's a statement that he feels comfortable enough in the relationship to be himself. Now isn't that romantic?

Hey, we're the same! Yes, that one had me pegged perfectly too! 😉

MORE SENSIBLE THAN SENSUOUS
You're an oatmeal and flannel kind of gal -- the type who'd rather go to Disney World than the Caribbean (even though Mickey Land is the nation's honeymoon capital). The gestures that most touch your heart are those that prove your lover really listens -- for example, his buying you the dress you had your eye on versus splurging on a barely-there negligee you may never wear happily. And the activities you most enjoy are not of the hearts and flowers variety but shared endeavors (e.g., painting the kitchen).
It's great that you have both feet on the ground. You're not the type of person who expects her guy to show up as the be-all-and-end-all of her existence. It's important to you to have your own friends, work, interests, etc.
It's not so great if you don't occasionally let your "girlie" side come out to play, though. Every once in a while, let him wine and dine you. Give him a gushy card and flowers (why not?) along with the toolbox he's been yearning for on Valentine's Day. The best relationships are ones in which the pair are not only friends and companions but fun-loving, sensuous beings. He's your Romeo, not your roommate.
Oh dear, I'll have to work on this one then. 😉 Actually I'd much rather go to the Caribbean so I don't think this one's right.[sm=dance.gif]
