Es gibt einen Grund, warum Deutsches nicht als eine romantische Sprache gilt, ist nicht dort? Stellen Sie sich wenn ich besagt dieses auf Deutsch vor, "mein Schatz. Ich liebe Dich mit meinem ganzem Herzen und Seele. Nicht bleiben Sie bitte durch meine Seite für immer. Ich möchte Ihr weiches, empfindliches Fleisch streicheln, das mit Schönheit und Unschuld ausstrahlt. Wurden Sie mögen mich zum smack, das empfindlicher Gammler von Ihrem, OH- so recht, nicht es ist, mein geliebter, reizender Liebling?"
Imagine if I said this in German,
"My sweetheart. I love you with all my heart and soul. Won't you please stay by my side forever. I want to caress your soft, delicate
flesh that radiates with beauty and innocence. Would you like me to smack that delicate bum of yours, oh so pretty, isn't it, my beloved, lovely darling?"

Since it's German does not come from Latin, it is not a Romance language and therefore should not be called romanitic.
While, it is an Indo-European language--just like the Romance languages--it is Germanic rather than Romantic.
This may seem nit picky, but it is actually quite an important detail. The whole idea for Romance grew up in these Romantic cultures and therefore it's expression is tied to their languages.
This not to say that the Germans to not have a tradition of falling in love and courtship, but that the nature historically was different in Northern Europe from the way thing were in Roman Europe.

Linguistically, I think German is a Romance Language...
despite the fact that another user said it was Slavic... which I'm seriously thinking about right now...
But would I say it's romantic?
F*ck yeah! I get so... turned on when I hear something in German. :-p
The accent is a major turn-on. I love it. :-D
...especially when a German person is trying to say a common American word. I love it! :-D
I was at a restaurant and one of the waitresses was German. She kept saying "Stghooduhl" for "Strudel." It was gorgeous. I thought she was pretty attractive... (she was around 50 or so... and I'm... oh... 17. Yeah, I don't discriminate... even though I'm still "innocent." :-D Oh, the mirth!)
I also called Belkin tech support regarding my router... and this guy got my call and he had a German accent, too. God, what a gorgeous language. :-D
Since you know it too, obviously... what can I say? I love you. :-)

a language is romantic or unromantic (in the non-technical sense of these terms) according to what can be said of it.
german has produced at least a dozen of europe's greatest love poets. walther von der vogelweide's 'unter den linden' is a lovesong so on fire no one who has heard it once can ever forget it. heine's poems gave schumann the text for his 'dichterliebe': a song-cycle so intense you should avoid listening to it unless you are with your partner:
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.
erich fried's 'was es ist' is probably the second greatest love poem written in my lifetime.
....
only english has more great love poetry than german has (among european languages at least).
....
by comparison french has apollinaire's brilliant 'le pont mirabeau' and robert desnos 'j'ai tellement revé' - but what else?
spanish has more - particularly by neruda and rosalia de castro - but nothing like the strength in depth that english and german share.
is there any love-poetry in italian? i mean actual love-poetry (petrarch is patisserie).

No! I have much German ancestry and I do have fun saying it sometimes, but a romantic language? I think not. It's too harsh and gutteral to sound romantic: phlegm and saliva flying all over, the uvular trill that they have for the "r", and the sound and sight of the words? Uhhh, no.
I think that the Celtic languages are romantic in a way... sure, they do have the gutteral sounds, but to me they sound much softer than the German gutterals.

Well, from what I know about languages, French is supposed to be the most romantic language, and I believe that to be. Of course in English, your rendition sounds pretty good as well, but I still think the French still have us in that one respect. Certainly not the guttural German way of speaking at all. Or so it seems to me.

Of course it's romantic. The language that such feelings are expressed in has nothing to do with the feelings.
Are you thinking about the term "Romance" language, as referring to Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and so forth. This term means that the languages came from Latin, the language spoken by the Romans. It has nothing to do with interpersonal relationships.

Technically German is a slovic language not a romance language like Spanish, French, Italian, etc. Also it doesn't sound very sexy. It does sound powerful.

There is a reason, why German is not considered as a romantic language, isn't there!
"I would like to stroke your soft, sensitive meat."
Oh come on there is your answer right in the middle of your diatribe.

Its sexy. As long as you spare me too much of it that i couldnt understand what you're saying anymore. And they always have those NAzi, leather-clad, capped dominatrixes in high heels and whip, you can be that too and speak German thats a little kinky.
