    Do you consider yourself a romantic? Do you believe in things like love at first sight? I don't believe in "true love" at first sight, but people can develop emotional attractions towards other people that are far beyond just "lust", even if they don't really know the person that well, i think

    Yup, I'm definitely a romantic. Once I had a girlfreind that would only let me buy her practical gifts, no flowers or chocolates. I hated it, it just felt all wrong. Love shouldn't be about practicalities.

    Yes, I'm most definitely a romantic. A helpless romantic.

    I don't know people tend to want to stay in a relationship with me (old girlfriends too ) even when I tell them it is over so I must be a very passionate person.

    I'm the type of person who will never be totally happy until I have found someone to love me like I would love them. I live for love,pretty much. I am very affectionate, but I don't know if you woudl really call me a romantic...& if so, I have a very different view of what is romantic. I am not into that whole making love on a bed of rose petals surrounded by candles playing Barry Manilow sort of thing...but, love is everything to me...without it, I am totally incomplete...and I hate myself for it.

    I have different views on love at first sight...I think that is more of a lust thing. I think you can meet someone,however,and in a short period of time feel very bonded with them emotionally...would that count as love at first sight?

    The bed of rose petals part is fine, but I would like black candles and extreme metal playing.

    I agree most things like that are lust but...I dunno I can just think of this one guy who I am at this point pretty much OBSESSING over, and have had a big crush on ever sense I even knew I was gay. Even though I don't really know him, I definitely feel stronger emotions towards him than just physical attraction...I don't really know why though.

    Odd. I have never had that experience before. Have you ever talked to him? Do you know anything about this guy? Maybe it's a sort of thing where you subconciously feel an emotional connection to him, and somehow feel that you guys would get along quite nicely...I don't know. [​IMG]

    Sweet! I think I would prefer making love in a large tulip garden, somewhere in the Netherlands after smoking a bunch of dutch weed. Woo...& there would be Pink Floyd or David Bowie playing somewhere...o_O

    I don't think I'm a romantic.
    I don't guess I'm a romantic.
    I am absolutely 100% positive that I am a romantic.

    It's horribly frustrating because I end up meeting and falling for men who are definitely not romantics.

    I haven't really talked to him much before, but I do know stuff about him...if that makes any sense. Like, from observations of him, and hearing some things about him from people who are actually a part of his life...unlike me, I doubt he really knows who I am.

    I mean there's no denying that I find him physically attractive, so lust is probably a part of it...but I can definitely think of people who I am more attracted to in that sense and, if it was just a case of lust, you'd think I'd go for the most attractive person I could think of. And I think physical attraction would be much more passing/easy to ignore than my feelings for this guy have been.

    Maybe I'm so interested in him BECAUSE of how little I know about him??? I dunno.

    I'm sorry...I really do hope you meet someone who can give you as much love as you can give out to them.

    i would call myself an unconventional romantic. i love real, passionately deep connections, yet am not so much about the little gifties and such (though that can be nice once in a while, too). i wouldn't have called myself romantic before, but i have wooed a lot of people, some unintentionally... what can i say i know how to take care of a lady if she's special to me.

    Yes, it makes sense. I've been in a similiar situation before. A friend of mine was friends with a guy,and talked about him alot, and it was a whole year before I ever actually met him...and when I did, I liked him,alot. It ended badly...heh, but that is because pretty much every relationship I've ever been in has ended badly...but for you, you are a good person...and I think you should try talking to this boy ;)

    Do you by any chance,know if he is gay, or bisexual?

    absolutely noooo idea, I'm the kind of person who likes to overanalyze little things and make them seem like evidence of others being gay

    He's probably straight though...

    Awwwww [​IMG] I hope for your sake that if you find he does say he's straight, that he doesn't really mean it,and he's just a closet bi/homosexual [​IMG] & if not, I hope you find someone just as wonderful as this guy seems to you, or even more wonderful. Good luck,man. -hugs-
