I must admit i am an old school romantic the candle light dinners,the dancing under the moon,those long stares across the room SIGH!!!.Seeing people date today i oftenn wonder we have lost that innocence of old school romance.Ok im not saying its gotta be Pearl harbor but Everything is so fast and instant,there are no moments,everyone's busy and options widely available.So in the midst of the fast life here are a few things i completely miss while dating and hope you do too :)And reshare this article
1. Coming to the door to pick someone up.
I think we've all had this UNROMANTIC Text that Says-IM HERE, and meeting up always seems to be more casual. Of course, meeting someone from online would probably be the exception to this rule, but generally: the 30 seconds it takes to get out of a car or cab and knock on the door makes a huge difference.Call that old fashion chivalry Agreed??????
2. Trying to dress really nicely for a date.
“Nicely” means different things for different people, so I think it’s just a matter of putting effort into how you put yourself together to go out with someone. It’s not about wearing suits and over the top dressing, but just realizing that, whether or not we like to accept it, appearance does matter, and we should do our best to make sure that our appearance says something about us, in whatever way we’d like it to.
Many lucky ladies (and some men) I know get this regularly but only with people whom you have been dating for a while. I think there’s something to be said for bringing flowers to the door on your first date. It’s become uncool because it’s forward and it’s a gesture that confirms their interest, but we should definitely get past that idea and worry more about how we’re going to let someone know we really do care and appreciate that they want to spend time with us.
4. Going dancing that’s not grinding on a grimy club floor.
Whatever happened to this? Dancing for the sake of dancing, like fun, not essentially sex on a dance floor dancing.The art of slow dancing has generally been lost, I’ll tell you its one of the most romantic things
5. Additionally, being clear about when you’re “going steady.”
Oh, the awkward, “so… are we… you know… what are we?” talk. Classic. We should go back to asking one another if the other person would like to “go steady” or something. There’s something about asking them if they’d like to rather than assuming that you are or aren’t anything that’s just very cute, in my opinion.
6. Romantic gestures like writing poems.
Writing poems may not be for you, Oh well i love them personally But seriously, like a handwritten letter in the mail or just surprising them with something you made even if it looks like the worse handwriting ever is cute just because you tried and were thinking of them.
7. Turning electronics off and just being with one another.
I’m not sure there is anything worse than the person who picks up their phone and starts staring at it in the middle of dinner, or at any point while you’re together and having a conversation or someone whos on their Bbm typing away I’m not anti-technology here but I am saying that there comes a time to turn it off and disconnect and remember what actually matters. People.
8. ASKING
It used to be principle for people to say: oh, when can I see you? Or, when could I call you? Rather than just assuming they can at any point. But I think that old concept could be applied to our modern world by just assuming that, unless told otherwise, you should ask permission to you know, touch them anywhere, take them out, call them at a certain time, etc. Once you’re in a relationship these things usually don’t require asking anymore, but some do
