They don't seem to exist anymore. What happened to the girl who wants to get swept off her feet? What happened to the words: love, relationship, romance, trust, promise and commitment?!! How many broken hearts does it take to win compassion?!!

that's exactly how i feel about guys. the word love is used so casually now! i can NOT stand being in a relationship with someone who is unfaithful, who lies, and who doesn't care about me. my total fantasy is to have a guy plan me a romantic date and lift me up, kiss me and tell me how beautiful i look and means it. i'm still that girl who wants to get swept off her feet. i've always wanted my own prince charming and to have my cinderella story.

She's stuck in a relationship with the MOST UN-ROMANTICAL MAN EVER. :(
Either that or she's also been jilted time and time again, and is now jaded and cynical.
Don't worry, sweetheart - you'll find her. Every time your heart gets broken, it gets a bit stronger and you get a bit smarter - all of which prepares you for the best love of your life. She's out there.
In the meantime, don't give up!! You have a quest to show girls that true, romantic men really do exist.
Don't forget about how you feel today after you find your love. My husband used to be super-romantic and sweet... as I look at him now, he's *** down on the couch watching baseball and letting out coke belches. I still love him, though!! :)

They are definitely still out there, including myself. But there's a big difference between a guy who will give a girl anything & everything that she wants and a guy who will do romantic things will this girl, but still is the 'man in the relationship.' I think that girls would prefer the latter.
You've heard the expression "too much of a good thing": things are more special when they aren't overdone. When a guy caters to a girl's every whim/desire, they tend to either get bored of it or start looking at him as less macho, or needy (definitely not a turn-on).
So don't try too hard; girls like challenges too! =)

The problem Marky, is that as women, we read the fairy tales and we wanted to be the princess. We waited for the romance that turned out to be nothing more than ploys to get our panties off. We put our hearts out on the line waiting for the prince to ride up on his white horse, but when he did, there was another girl on the back and he lied and said she wasn't there. We believed in the warmth and magic of love, only to find out that men don't really want that. They just tell us what they think we want to hear. And sometimes, we caught the prince, only to find out that he was really just a toad. Some of even marry our princes, and we learn that life is not a fairy tale. Love can't buy castles, and fairies don't give us beautiful hair and dresses. Sleeping beauty never had to pay a $300 electric bill. Cinderella never got pregnant and had to deal with weight gain and hormonal changes. Snow White's prince never had an affair with Rapunzel. The "magic" of romance is nice as long as we remember that it's only a fleeting illusion. Life is not that way. Over time, we move into a settled and comfortable relationship, but eventually we have to realize that our princes are just guys who like football. Flowers don't spark passion, and dancing in the moonlight becomes mundane if we do it every night. A nice bottle of wine just gets us drunk, and then the next morning our princes have left us feeling taken advantage of. Point is, it isn't real, and we don't trust it. But we want to! We really do! But allowing ourselves to believe only ends up in disappointment.

I am the kind of girl that has to build a friendship before I can be swept off my feet. I don't really trust a guy who uses romance right off the bat, because usually it's a guy who uses romance as a tool to treat a girl badly. I just want a guy to be a guy... then he can do something sweet.
Call me crazy

from personal experience...it is becasue most girls have learned that guys usually don't mean what they say and are most likely just trying to get them into bed. One can only take being hurt so many times that after a while you stop believing that someone actually could love you or that a guy means it when he wants to be with you. After feeling like a fool so many times for believing that he was interested when he really just wanted to use you...a girl will learn not to trust. it happened to me...i used to be the little girl with the beautiful dream of a gorgeous white wedding and a happy family and ive been made a fool so many times by thinking someone would actually care for me that i don't even believe in romance anymore and think it's all a lie. it's just an excuse for a guy to use you.

I totally feel what you do, it is like all the women of the world have dried up and only care about silly, frivolous things like shopping, their "girlfriends", etc.. Where have all the good and pure things of this world gone? All those "Chick Flicks" out there are about the perfect love, but why don't we see anything like that anymore? Because our culture has been turned solely towards worthless little diversions that entertain only for the briefest of moments, and then are discarded in pursuit of the newest pleasure. If we don't go through a major social reform, our children may think that the word Love means sex or a selfish attraction.

i think of you would be a typical bisexual guy. :) while you're in basic terms now taking off to experience this form, or have in basic terms found out you're, certainly, bisexual, you're able to... "deny" it for a on the same time as, or evaluate your self on the instant because of the fact this attraction to adult males is a uncommon prevalence. If it somewhat is you, you're DEF no longer on my own! i'm a bisexual female, and it somewhat is the way it occurred for me. while you're a masculine "manly-guy" then it might make experience so which you will love a girly guy (the same way lipstick-lesbians like dikes, and vise versa). i'm different because of the fact i'm a fem who like's different girly-ladies, AND likes metro adult males. So, take some cases to be mushy including your sexuality. you do no longer might desire to tell people, i do no longer, yet i'm by no skill hiding it from all and sundry. :) Rock on dudee!

I think romantic women (and men) exist. But, in this day and age, when everyone's putting off marriage until later and later in life, we have more relationships, get burned more often, and become more cynical when it comes to believing that the next guy or girl who brings us flowers will be our loving princess or knight in shining armor.
Fortunately, I think there's a romantic even in the hardened souls -- but it takes time, patience, and kindness to bring it out.
