Wonder where the 'romance' is ??

This goes out to all my lovely Single and Not-So-Single Girlfriends...A little something for you to ponder on !!

It was back in the 40's -60's when you would imagine being charmed, read poetry to, serenaded, wined and dined (lets not go dutch all the time), doors held out for you, walking hand-in-hand (not a great fan of hand holding but...) in celebration of your love and affection for one another....Was it only meant for the Black & White era?? Have we shifted from the theory of having a lover, to having an inmate trapped in a loveless relationship ... 



Have we had enough of romance..?? Do you wonder sometimes, how it would feel to be treated like a lady apart from the occassional women's liberation 'emotional blow-up' rising in our gut...Is it that we have tragically bid farewell to generations of sophisticated and poised forms of dating.. Has dating become as monotonous as being monogamous :p !!

Have men gotten used to the idea of taking it down a notch...Is Romance a surrealistic idea now?? Wasn't romance the key to pursuing happiness in a relationship? Is it too much to ask, to be treated elegantly and with a pinch of 'romance' ??? Oscar Wilde said “They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever”...Well I'm not asking forever or all the time, but every now and then won't hurt your fragile ego, WOULD IT?? 

To all the single and the not-so-single boys, live it up and be a gentleman..You will have fewer vexed relationships and partners .. !!
