Well im a 26 yr old single father, and cannot find someone for anything more that short term or one night stands. It seems like i cannot find women anymore who are up for romance. Walks on the beach at sunset, candlelight, cuddeling. I love fun, miniture golf, and boating and all sorts of things, but it seems like in this day and age its all about "get in get out" relationships. Does anyone even "love" anymore?

I guess ill update this. I am a Divorced single father. I was married for 7 years. Yes i married young. I had 2 kids then she slept with her boss. So there are genuine people who still love the beach and love romance. I guess it just wasnt what she loved. Now im heartbroken and wishing i had someone again to enjoy life and romance. Ya im young, only 26 but im not out sleeping with everyone i meet. I just feel like the people you fall in love with should have a bit of romantic in them.

Yes there are women. They are harder to find. From the sounds of it, you like attractive women. I bet there are some less attractive women who like these things that you will never consider so be careful about generalizations.
The more attractive, especially young, women get hit on by guys all the time. It is the nature of men, in a media driven, free enterprise, materialistic society. Since many men in this society look at women as chattel or jewelry, they will compete with other men by bringing money to the table and the more attractive women will maximize their "social exchange" value.
The fact that your wife sleep with her boss suggests that he offered more money then you (at the very least he was paying her through the job), add to the mix, 8 hours of contact a day 5X a week, "power", (probably) no morality regarding screwing some guys' wife (don't worry, your wife was not the first, he will toss her aside and move to the next), your wife feeling that she is missing out on some (intangible) thing by being with you, and the fact that most people under 30 want variety with sex partners.
That answer above by the black chick saying that you are all used up and apparently in her opinion, full of crap, is so far off the mark you would be best to avoid her opinion - she is an obvious man hater (really now, freaking out because a guy asked you to dinner - get some help).
Spend some time and stay focused with your kids, stay fit, have your one night stands, start making money, when you are 35, you will have the money to properly romance that hot 26 yr. old and hold on to her because you will have the wherewithal to finance her according to the standards that a hot 26 yr. old requires.

I think men who try the "romance route" are out for something more (manipulation) and it seems contrived. The whole, "I enjoy walks on the beach and candlelight" shtick is so 70s and makes me think a man is just telling a woman what he THINKS a woman wants to hear in order to get to the next step. Recently a man asked me out for dinner and drinks and I freaked out! If two people are interested in each other the desire to spend time together should be mutual and natural.
PS A twenty six year old is single father is looked at as used up. Why would a 26 year old have a kid why couldn't he make it work with the mother?

It sounds like you love your truck, so I think you'll be alright, sweetie :) I'm have a feeling it is all about breaking through the shell - no one wants to get hurt, so why leave yourself open for the expectation that the romance is real? My first reaction might be that you were just a schmoozer charming my pants off. Romance means opening your heart and, to be honest with you, it is not so smart to be a walking target out there - people are much more reactive than they use to be and drama is a defense mechanism - MTV get in and get out. But, there isn't a person in my life that doesn't call me a romantic once a week in one way or another making fun of my "Walt Disney World" - there is a knack to breaking through that barrier and it's like golf: you'll feel it, when you feel it; she'll know it when she sees it and so will you :) I would look for someone a couple of years older that longs for some of those simple pleasures and will recognize your intentions and everlasting quality of what you offer.

Romantic gestures do no longer ought to contain a variety of of time or a super outlay of money. this is in basic terms that a variety of of adult adult males are incredibly lazy in this branch...and to be honest so are many women folk - this is a 2 way street. some examples: arise in the previous her sometimes and make coffee Breakfast in mattress on a Sunday in case you have babies, take them out for an hour so she would be in a position of have some quiet time in case you go away for artwork in the previous than her, write "i such as you" in the frost on her automobile window call her in the time of the day in basic terms to tell her you have been thinking of her go away a love word someplace she'll locate it once you're no longer around the checklist is going on and on yet those are elementary little issues that take mere seconds or minutes to do ...as you will locate, no longer sufficient time isn't a variety of of an excuse. regrettably, my husband does not have a romantic bone in his physique anymore...he used to yet is quite neglectful now after 12+ years of marriage.

well, we live in the digital age, if you're looking for 'traditional' gals who you have 6 month courtships etc with, you might be out of luck...best idea though is to find out if there's singles clubs near you, get out and meet some ppl...
