Love & dating...41My idea of romantic has very little to do with fanciful and expensive dinner, or exuberantly crafted items or ambience. It has very little to do with sealed packets or bottles of endorphins.
My idea of romantic is... picture this...
a bed huge enough for a person (my size) to roll 2 times, 360 degrees, light but bright orange lighting, mildly air-conned, some soft music, you and your partner, a book in each of your hands, a pillow and two cushions each (i.e why the bed has to be big ok!) and just sheer quietness, sheer silence. The activity? Reading.
It's the being together, doing the same thing together but keeping your own space that is really romantic to me.
Some couples are not used to silence between them. They find it oppressive. Some think silence is the calm before the storm. That's pretty paranoid, I think. Silence between two persons, in my opinion, is the peace of mind, understanding of trust and sense of security that you achieve with the other person after much, much miscommunication and then, communication.
That's why I think it's romantic. The freedom to do what I want with you around, in the silence of your company, knowing that even as we keep so quiet, the bond and understanding speak volumes.
Sometimes, I don't mind throwing in some good chocolate or ice-cream. But, honestly? A smoothie or a cup of well-brewed tea always completes the picture for me.
What about your idea of romantic?
