i'm been out of the dating game for awhile after getting my heart hurt. Now I'm back in the dating game cause I'm tired of being lonely. But it's been hard. It seems no women around my age, I'm 26, want to give me a chance. Yea I love sex but I'm not a sex creep. I am very much a romantic person and believe women should be treated like a priness. Isn't that what women want? I really want a friendship but possible relationship.

You can do that, but after you take her to dinner, she will be taking the left overs to the other guys place, for dessert. But in all seriousness, make sure you come across someone who has at least read a book, in their lifetime, before you go down that road.

Every woman deserves to be romanced. It shows that they are appreciated not just for their bodies but for who they are. Helps build their self esteem and confidence up knowing their partner put in the work to show her how she makes him feel.
There should be more romance In this world.

In my experience, men who say that they like to treat a woman like a princess and all that often try to start that too soon. What's lovely in a relationship can seem creepy, intrusive and overbearing in someone you've just met. I'm not saying that applies to you, but it's something to think about. It might be worth stepping it down a bit in the beginning.

Romance is good when it's not corny and scripted...spur of the moment, fly by the seat of your pants makes for better romance.
Being treated like a princess is always good but don't be too soft.

I believe in respecting women and doing stuff like pulling out chairs and holding open doors. Well I guess I'm gonna just keep my head up and just wait for that one person who wants to give things a try with me. I love to do the little things like leaving small love notes, bringing flowers or candy, small jewlry and gifts, and just cuddling and being there for them. That's what a man should do.

Being romantic works best on a woman who already likes you, finds you attractive, and wants to be in a relationship with you. Romance is like icing on the cake. It makes a relationship even better. A relationship without any romance is a little bland.
However... these things should always be two-way.
On the other hand, romance with someone who wants to be just friends probably will back fire. It will come off as pressure to be in a relationship.

Real romance isn't something that you can plan in advance and script out. Most guys who follow the old "treat her like a princess" routine, are headed for the great twilight zone of the official "nice guy" corral.
Unless you go the slick player route, and go after women as though they are video game prizes or something, being romantic has to be an entirely interactive thing, dependent upon the details of what exactly the particular woman is all about.
I knew a woman who thought that it was hugely romantic when I took her kite flying. Another woman looking on, thought I was the worst dweeb on the planet for doing that. Me, I just wanted to fly a kite that day, and have the lady's company in the sunshine. Chances are, if I'd contrived it all, even the woman who liked me for it, would have wrinkled her eyebrows together and said "pass."

Tired of being lonely is not a good reason to start dating.
that's probably the worse time to find someone. Learn to be by yourself and be happy.
Relationships backfire when entered in for all the wrong reasons.
Don't treat a woman like a princess. Women who expect that will walk all over you. Treat her the way u want to be treated.

It can work, but unfortunately romance is a dieing art. I've been dumped numerous times because the woman I bought flowers for said it was a sissy unman like thing to do, or some other diatribe for some other romantic thing I did.
Many women are scared of actually being happy these days, and will run from anyone who makes them such, while fighting tooth and nail, to hold onto to something that causes them pain and suffering daily.
At least that is my experience with women I have dated, in which this occurred.

Yes I know I have to be pationt and be friends first. That's what I want and then see were things go from there. Being a nice guy is just who I am and it's not scripted or planned. The things I do when I'm with someone is what I want to do. I don't try to be like all those wanna be bad asses who think they're gangsters. Don't understand why the women in my town fall for them. Why be disrespected and treated like crap?

Whilst I agree of romance being something of the past. I don't agree with women being scared.
Perhaps you attract women who do not value it or you. For that I am sorry.

I agree with this post. The worst thing you can do is out yourself out there befor you are healed. I just took a three year break from dating. You have to learn to love yourself before someone can love you. Work on self confidence, and self esteem.
Asking If romance works. You will get a different answer from each person you ask. Save the romance until you know if the other person would be comfortable with romance.
Good luck OP you are young and have the rest of your life to find love, don't get in a hurry,
Join a gym, take a class, do anything and everything that is positive. Enjoy your life.

It works with those seeking something other than just sex.
but op....its not suppose to be a trick that works.
its either part of you or it isn't.
And a romantic person doesn't have to announce they are that...it just happens with the right person.
And anyone can say anything on here, but that doesn't mean its true.
You might be what you say you are...and you might have written this as a trick gimic to score.

I listened to a tom leykis show last night about men who believe in treating a woman like a princess....or at least they used to. OUCH....some of the calls in to the show were brutal. Every guy should youtube that show and proceed at their own risk.
From my personal experience....the last girl I bought flowers and a card for (I even left "I love you" messages on the mirror with her lipstick) is now married to a junkie who is in and out of jail.

Romance is not a dieing art.
In the early stages of dating, romance happens organically when two people are enjoying each others company. It doesn't matter what they are doing or where they are doing it.
In an established relationship, romance is the result of listening to, caring for and respecting each other.

Towards a woman who doesn't find you attractive....it's pretty much a one-way ticket to Creepytown.

Being romantic is now only a state of compatibility. You find two people together who are equally romantic I bet you will find a good couple willing to go deeper. Some people either don't how to do that or are afraid to or simply don't want to go that deep.

The last woman I bought flowers for had a fit, and degraded me, and put me down for it. I have never bought a woman flowers since. And I don't intend to. Romance is dead. Women destroyed it completely. It's my opinion based on 20 years of dating cheaters, and liars. The quality of quantity lacks, and I do not have to ever lower my standards, or accept neurotic, insecure sociopaths who will never know what they really want in life. So I leave them behind as I move foreward positively, and constructively. They can ream their a** holes out with their 50 shades of fairytale dilusional romance crap.

I LOVE men who know how to be romantic. Like a love note saying how much he loves u or a text saying cant wait to see tonigh my sweet love. Romance only works if the man is true about it. Most men have no clue what romance is or how to do it. Its a lost art for sure. But just saying hay bby u want to f**k is NOT romantic at all.

Romance only works if the man is real about it and not fake. A woman can tell when a guy is being romantic because he thinks he has to be romantic or that he is trying too hard.

I agree. I can't stand a man that says a woman should be treated like a princess or that she should get what she wants in all ways. That just tells me that he is very insecure that he can't stand up and be a man. Romance isn't about trying to make a woman feel like she is in charge or that she should be treated better by you. Romance needs to go both ways and women need to show it too.
