Help
My ex boyfriend was kind of a romantic type but at the same time he was more about talking and not doing as many other romantic guys (you don't really have to take her to the Moon and back in real life, yu can just promise you would do so if you could, right? )
My new boyfriend is not that romantic but he's more about action than talking and I really love it! I've come to realize that we can work on romance together and i don't want him to be romantic 24\7. Turns out i can do without excessive romantism as he has a lot of other trails i love about him more than that.
Maybe it's just that i'm not quite romantic myself? or maybe i've learnt not to expect much? i don't know but the new research reveals that modern men are absolutely not romantic when it comes to treating their partners. In the survey, more than half of women (55 per cent) have not been surprised with a gift in over a year, while a fifth of women (19 per cent) buy their own flowers rather than wait for flowers to be bought for them. Furthermore, one in three women (29 per cent) buy flowers for their spouse or partner.
The study by Sheilas' Wheels home insurance found that chivalry is fading fastest amongst young men.
One in ten (10 per cent) men under 25 confessed that they had passed off a gift from someone else as a gift that they had bought for their partner, while one in five (18 per cent) had even given their other half a gift that they had received for free.
It's small wonder just over half of young women (51 per cent) now pick up or split the bill on a first date. As many 'other halves' have long suspected, nearly a quarter (24 per cent) of men surveyed said that they buy their flowers at a petrol station, while three quarters (72 per cent) of young men under 25 said they rarely or never buy flowers for their partner.
Proving that young men's brains are more 'sieve than give' a whopping 62 per cent of men under the age of 25 confess to not knowing when their anniversary is, and despite years of coupledom only two thirds of men (66 per cent) over 55 know their anniversary off by heart.
Only three per cent of women said they've forgotten an anniversary compared with nearly one in ten men.
And when it comes to present buying its women that put in more effort. The study found that women spend an astonishing 24 days planning a gift for their other half for a special occasion, while men take just 16 days. A third (31 per cent) of men even admitted that they only search for a gift the day before they give it to their partner.
Women are most likely to buy clothes for their other half. Men are most likely to opt for jewellery, chocolate and artisan treats.
Jacky Brown at Sheilas' Wheels home insurance commented: "Men may think of themselves as Prince Charmings, but it seems that many are losing their touch and could learn a great deal from their parents or grandparents when it comes to chivalry.
Gifts are an important way of keeping the love alive - and should be about the thought not the price."
I guess it's due to male nature and there's nothing to worry about "passed away" romantic times))) Life goes on and couples face some other questions to solve. But sure, a woman should not neglect kinda romanticism in relationship) I'm convinced that it's our main weapon-I mean nice words or actions))) And only we can maintain our relationship still hot, passionate and maybe romantic
