You see this "romance and love" thing it just does not make sense for normally intelligent and sensible people. Marketing and commercialism brainwash people as to how to behave in such situations and frankly nothing is fresh or new.
Oh a box of chocolates, look a bunch of red roses, La Perla undies, a candle lit dinner. A card for every occasion and moment..."Today I watched you blink and my heart skipped a beat." Oh please!
All of those gushing miss pelt text messages and emails with too many icons to be considered healthy.
It's all about conforming to how a romantically attached person is perceived to behave. Programmed unwittingly by magazines and hype.
There is no harm in finding a partner that you like and think a lot of, but all this emotional cheesiness does no good at all. You can be on pins in case your "original" treat does not quite hit the right spot, you can feel guilty that your gesture maybe was not enough. An emotional roller coaster that serves no good purpose but to keep till bells ringing around the world.
The proof that what I say is oh so true is the fact that a bloke rarely feels comfortable about proclaiming to his partner...."I love you." Whereas the female who is more likely to be more wrapped up in the rules of the game will be almost insistant upon making such declarations, and on a regular basis. The female has been programmed to believe that for a person to state such a phrase is the only way of indicating ones true feelings. Utter balder dash in my mind.
Emotional detachment is the only way forward. You know I am right. Admit it.
