I think it's wonderful when a man puts some thought into asking the woman
he loves to marry him.  That's such a special moment for anyone, it's nice
to have a memory like that.

Julie.....The Hopeless Romantic pens:
>I agree, men like that are a rarity.  We should be thankful...I am.
I tend to think not.  I don't think it's really restricted to either
sex.  There have been situations where I have done something sweet,
(ok so it's my opinion that it was sweet), where the recipient said
"You shouldn't have...."  well this reminds me of what a lady I worked
with about nine years ago.  We affectionately called her Mom.

I gave some roses to my SO, (Boy I hate that term Significant Other, it
implies that I have an Insignificant Other...but i digress), and 

She said 
"You shouldn't have..." 

at which point Mom chimed in....
"Just accept the gift.  If you tell someone enough times, "You 
shouldn't have...", soon enough they won't."

So in my opinion, there is plenty of romance from both women and
men, but it has many different faces to it.  There is the romance
that you envision and there is the romance that you partner
envisions.  Sometimes these match, but other times it can be drastically
different.

For example.  There is the traditional candlelight dinner with wine, flowers
and of course the obligatory chocolate.  But there is also the pasta with
pesto that was brought over and re-heated in the microwave because the other
person's kitchen no longer exists, wlong with some wine and sitting on the 
floor sharing the pasta from single dish to save on dirting dishes.

There is giving roses for a special occasion, anniversaries, V-Day, or
B-Days, but there is also giving cactus or african violet because you
just wanted to.  

So don't always look for big things to be romantic and also don't always
look for what you consider romantic, but also consider what your partner
thinks is romantic.  If you are both Listening (TM), (TMed because I refer
to the real thing, not just using the hearing appendages), then you'll know
what your partner considers romantic and be able to appropriately use.

In my opinion, the best romantic situations are those that are unplanned
and come from the soul of the giver.  They may at first seem odd, but what 
they are doing is sharing a bit of themselves with you, and what could be
more precious than some insight into the one you love....

Subject: CASTLE: Nathaniel's Journey begins
Date: 6 Apr 92 14:29:18 GMT
Organization: Penn State University


   Nathaniel walked slowly along the pathe he had chosen. The soft moss
beneath his bare feet made it easy to travel. He listened to the birds sing
in the trees, watched the squirrels scamper across the ground, searching
for nuts. Once he caught sight of a deer, which merely turned away, not
frightened at all. "How wonderful this world is," he sighed to himself,
"Not at all as I remember it. Now it is almost untouched...so beautiful..."
   Nathaniel picked up a dead sapling that was lying next to the path.
With a quick twist of his wrists, he snapped the sapling, shortening it to
the proper length for a walking stick (The strength of this new body was
constantly surprising him, as was it's endurance...he had walked for hours,
and was only now beginning to feel weary). Eventually, the shadows grew,
and Nathaniel found a soft spot underneath a tree to sleep.
   Total darkness. Nathaniel didn't move...something had awakened him, but
he didn't know what it was. He heard a soft snuffling on the trail, back
the way he had come. Whatever it was was trailing him...a dark figure moved
into a patch of moonlight. It was a demon! Nathaniel had thought that they
would have all been killed by now...could the Dark Lord have won? Despite
all that the Army had done, could the Dark Lord have triumphed anyway?
The demon was alone...of that Nathaniel was sure. He silently took his
walking stick in hand, and rose to his feet. The demon stopped, sensing
the presence of it's prey. It took another step forward...and Nathaniel
leapt from his place of concealment, and struck a tremendous blow across
the demons head. It yelped like a dog, and was knocked into a nearby bush.
It came out with claws and teeth tearing for Nathaniel's body. He fended it
off with his walking stick, and the two combatants circled warily. The demon
lunged at a false opening, and Nathaniel brought his stick down across it's
skull. The demon whimpered once, then died.
   Nathaniel stood looking at the beast...part animal, part human...he ripped
the shreds of clothing from it's body, and used the dark fabric to cover
himself. He started down the path again, heedless of the time. If these
abominations were still abroad, he would need to get back to the Castle as
soon as he could. There was still a battle to win.

Right on, Ant.  I only make love to women that I *do* love, with one exception
better forgotten--and in a close call I had with a woman who was my fiancee' at
the time, I started making arrangements to marry her quickly.  Fortunately for
all concerned, it was a false alarm.  (I say fortunately because she started
cheating on me a month later.)  I wanted to do what I considered to be the
honorable thing, for her and our child-never-was.  Just my 2c worth.
