Being too romantic is not rewarding….

Since my college days, I have always come across the dictum that “Men express their romance a lot more than do women.” Even women admit it. This does not mean that women do not love their men, but only that they don’t fulminate and elocute their romantic feelings as blatantly as men do. Men have to “understand” women to get the real picture. In such a situation, it becomes very difficult for men like me, who expect reciprocity, to sustain their enamored expressions on a consistent basis.

When they do fall in love, expressive men perceive romance in almost everything. Many women find this “crap” very ludicrous. Either through words or body language, they make you feel that you have been such a foolish romantic. In the madness of “first love”, you tend to ignore the rebuke, but some days later when you reflect, those comments sting like a bee. It is not that women are never expressive but since they more reticent, men always feel that they are being given a raw deal, especially when the passion is simmering.

It is very difficult to come out of such situations. You have the option of either changing yourself and not give her the verbal romantic delights, or take the sting of her comments or ignorance. Both options can be very damaging. So guys, get used to the fact that you would never get cloyed as much as you cloy your sweetheart. It is part of being an “understanding” boyfriend/fiancée/husband. Happy wooing!
