Or do women need the overblown romantic gestures?

They need the overblown romantic gestures.
They have cottoned on to the fact that men lie.
Hence they want to see what it is you DO.
Now get this - if you do the overblown romantic gestures with even a TRACE of insincerity, then it's useless. Women are much better at picking up the body language stuff than us men and so they can detect when they you are being half-hearted about it.
Don't do the overblown romantic gestures unless you really mean it.
This above all - to thine own self be true.
Then it must follow, as the night the day,
thou cans't not be false to any man

Yes it is for me especially when its only being said for the first while. i do think if you're together a long time though a bit extra would be nice every now and again and i dont mean by overblown gestures and i also mean on both ways just putting in a little extra every now and again. example if the man just thinks i think i'll bring my girl home some flowers today or if the woman thinks i'll have a nice suprise (if you know what i mean) for my man tonight. all the little things add up.

I don't go for overblown romantic gestures. Being told 'I love you' is nice when it's truly meant-being shown in everyday ways is what makes a woman really happy and secure. Honesty,loyalty,and respect-that's the key.

it depends how often you say it, if you say it all the time then the meaning of it becomes less. if you say it just every now and again it will mean more. I have been with my man 6 months and he has only told me three times that he loves me, but when he does I go all gooey and I know he really means it.
as for the romantic genstures, it is the little things that count not the expensive, anyone can spend money it it is the thoughtful things like little notes on her pillow, or running a bath with candles for her after a hard day at work that mean the most (well in my eyes anyway)

The words are nice, the overblown gestures are too much. Try everyday kindness, respect and love. I find that works best.

It's great to say I love you to each other. Personally I think valentine's day is over rated - way over rated. All I wanted was a card. My husband does stuff for me all the time - and I do stuff all the time for him. I would rather he saved money on valentine's day and we went out for a meal or whatever another time when we could get more for our money. I would have been upset if I'd not got a card though but everyone is different!

Actions speak louder than words. Occasional romance is wonderful.

It is always nice to say "I love you" to someone you really care for. Remember however, that "action speaks louder than words".
