Can you recall the most romantic moment of your lifetime?
Care to describe it?
Nope. Can’t stand romantic crap. Will do everything in my power to make sure no romantic moments happen (to me).
I suppose you will get your wish....but who knows ....maybe it will surprise you.
I heard you the first time.....your wish will be respected by me. @Donotbelieve
Maybe...maybe not...shall I try harder or just give up? @Donotbelieve
I'm not giving up. I see we both like coffee. @Donotbelieve
@nicknotes I know you mean well. I wish romance to those who seek it and like it. I have several partners in my life already and our relationships are based on mutual respect and common interests. I don’t need romantic gestures. I like good conversations, enjoying activities, working together. I don’t need candlelit dinner, walks on the beach, wine and flowers, love poems.
A hot cup of coffee in the morning is like nectar from the gods....@Donotbelieve
I saw in your profile that you take care of animals. I also noted that you are a vegan. I'm a vegan also. Good nutrition and exercise are my favorite topics. I also write articles pointing out problems with the Bible. I'm all in on the topics you mentioned. Do you watch any Cable News channels? I watch MSNBC...I'm a Progressive Democrat. Of course since you live in Canada you have different political parties. What do you think of Trudeau? @graceylou
@nicknotes I hate salads. I rarely eat salads. But I eat a lot of veggies, fruits, legumes, and grains. I’m not vegan for my health but I don’t care much for junk food and I do cook and bake most food items from scratch so I know what goes into my food. I enjoy cooking/making a variety of dishes from pasta to sushi and baking a variety of breads, cakes, and cookies. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to spices. I mostly season with Himalayan salt and ground pepper, that’s it. And some Asian sauces. I used to hate cooking and baking but now I’m obsessed with recipes.
@nicknotes Well, I cook and bake for myself but if a man wants to eat what I make then he's welcome to it. But I've found that the way to get someone to become more plant-based is by feeding them fabulous food. My SO is now vegetarian eating almost 90% plant-based and loves everything I cook and bake, and also loves how he's lost a lot of weight and improved his health (reduced reliance on medications). We both love animals so we don't want to eat them (and we don't need to eat them). I don't cut down on any nutrient sources, but balance carbs, proteins, fats, and vitamins and minerals. I don't eat empty calories, only nutrient dense foods. Still, I'm not a health fanatic. But if I want a delicious snack, I just grab an apple or an orange, or pop a few grapes in my mouth. Not a banana though, because I'm severely allergic (I know hey, what's a vegan to do without bananas since they're such a great substitute for so many non-vegan ingredients).
I am still waiting for that moment.
I hope you won't have to wait too long.
My sweet husband was a country guy. One day he said to me Jo I want to grow old with you. I knew it was heartfelt and thst he meant it. He never said I was pretty, didn't often tell me he loved me but he showed me he loved me every minute I was with him.
Did your husband pass away? If so...I'm sorry for your loss.
I recall it vividly as it happened only a few weeks ago. At 57 years old, I had the most romantic experience of my life. I shared my thoughts of the encounter in an email to him...
Dear You,
I was attracted to you from the start. But I wasn't sure what to do. I had recently been very hurt and it still stung. I was relieved when you decided not to pursue but then excited to hear from you again. That excitement only heightened when we met at the park. I found you so very attractive, I had such a desire to kiss you. You were a gentleman and I appreciated you being open and honest with me about what you wanted. It took me a little while but I gave in to my desires and I jumped in. Once I made that decision I couldn't wait to be with you!
The morning of, I woke up with the excitement of you on my mind... and between my legs. The anticipation of you sent waves of desire through me and made my juices flow. When you pulled into my driveway I could not wait to feel you, kiss you for the first time. I hoped desperately that you had a soft, luscious, passionate kiss. When you walked in, took me in your arms and kissed me, I melted. My desire for you soared, as it is now as I write this!
With each caress, each kiss you bestowed on me I wanted you more. As you spoke to me with your sexy gentle voice you made me quiver with wanting. Your whispers, telling me how desirable and sexy I am, sent electricity throughout my body. With your gentle yet firm voice telling me what you desired from me, asking me to beg for you, made me want to surrender my entire body to you, as I did with pleasure. Feeling every bit of you, pulsing around you time after time brought me to another place... A place of complete passion and comfort. A passion I have desired for so long. Feeling your pleasure was amazing, seeing it in your eyes was beautiful. I adored looking up at you, your beautiful face gazing down at me. And then, you laid with me, making me feel appreciated and safe. We talked and laughed, enjoying the afterglow. And then you left… leaving me satisfied and filled with joy. You've given me the most exquisite experience of my life, and I thank you.
With warm loving kisses, Me
I think you are a very accomplished writer. You had my attention.....great encounter.
The day I got married 28-years ago and everyday afterwards that I woke up next to her. We have our own rooms now - but it wasn't all that long ago when we shared the same bed that I can't remember.
I'm sorry things didn't turn out the way you wanted...
@nicknotes Maybe I caused some confusion - things are going fine - we may not share the same room but we just welcomed our first grandbaby - we find time to have date nights and since I work at home I have the opportunity to have a hot meal ready for her every night after a long day at work.
My most romantic memories are all the more so to me for being the sort of things one doesn't talk about in public. I will only say that they are the handful of life events that I hold sacred and that I don't feel disappointed by. It's too bad there weren't more of them, but at least I had what I had when I had it.
You have your memories to hang on to and the anticipation the future might bring.
haha can i describe one that SHOULD have been the most romantic but wasn't? how about three? they're related.
my guy (yes by then he was my guy) and i went to hawaii together and he bought me a beautiful ring, a very, very expensive ring but more importantly, beautiful and from him because he wanted me to have it. as he slipped it gently onto my finger, he murmured, "this is not an engagement ring." (as it turns out, it was, but we didn't know it at the time.)
we went to jamaica (i won a recipe contest and a trip for two to jamaica and a stay in a clothing-optional resort was the prize!) as i was checking in, i saw that the registration form asked if we were on our honeymoon, if we were planning to marry at the resort or if we were engaged. i looked up at my guy and asked him, "are we engaged?" he was startled. i explained what the form had asked. he responded that he would have to think about it. we finished registering and were taken to our luxurious room. i sat down on the bed and he lingered by the door, eventually turning to me and grumbling, "all right, i guess we're engaged." how romantic!
a couple months later, on my guy's birthday we went to a concert and then to a late dinner, after which i was pretty tired, but he wanted to drive out to a lake (we have a lot of lakes here). i reluctantly agreed, but when we got there, i quickly realized that every mosquito in minnesota had been waiting for me. they all attacked at once. oblivious to that, my guy got down on one knee, produced a cheap ring and asked me formally to marry him. i told him i certainly would but only if he got me the hell away from all those mosquitoes!

"SHOULD" doesn't count.
@Wildflower in whose book?
g
@genessa Not according to any book. According to the question.
@Wildflower i will leave that decision to the asker of the question.

That is a great story.
For a first date, a medical doctor flew his private plane to Wenatchee. I met him at the airport, camera in hand.
"Will you take me for a quick plane ride?" I asked. "Where do you want to go?" he replied.
"Fly west toward Stevens Pass. At Lake Wenatchee, turn north. We can fly over the beautiful Napeequa Wilderness Area where I love to hike."
"I love your enthusiasm and happy feet!" Bill said. Putting the plane on autopilot, he kissed me in the air. Electric chemistry flowed between us. Yum.
"This is spectacular!" Bill said. "I have never flown this way."
I notice you bolded "kissed me" ....are we to assume this was just a hint of what happened in the air?
One would have to be when I was just waking up and my then boyfriend said, "god, you're beautiful."
I'm willing to bet he doesn't even remember that.
He may not remember it, but you are beautiful.
@Wildflower thank you
That's a fabulous comment considering you weren't wearing make up and your hair wasn't combed..... It surely was a genuine compliment ...more about you the person rather than how you look in the morning. .
