    It has just added another dimention. In this day and age we are often so busy we do not have the time for the traditional methods of meeting a person. We are working longer hours and the global community has managed to find its way right into our very homes. Many of us dont get home from work until late in the night and dont have energy to even consider going out trying to meet someone. You wander around town on Valentines Day and see all the men buying bunches of flowers, yes romance is still alive and flourishing.

    I think romance is inbuilt..the internet is just another way to meet..if you want romance you need to be with a person who also wants romance ..if this makes sense ?

    Romance ... So fucking Boring   A good game of sport and a blow job is far better / lets face it you girls can then go out with your friends and us blokes can talk more sport ...   Perfect   Romance is so fucking boring i mean long walsk on the beach : fuck that give me a trail bike to tear up the dunes anyday. Candle lit dinner = again Boring lets just fuck and eat later the footy is about to start. Romantic Holiday Pffffft come on more than a few days together and i am going fucking crazy   Just my thoughts !!!!

    wowwow11 - I'm lost for words. I like a good sporting match and a blow job, but surely those are not mutually exclusive options? Can't you have your blow with a side of romance?I refuse to believe we are victims of time either - I personally find it actually takes a lot more time being online than out meeting people. I would rather be out at 11pm than on my computer - I spend all day tied to my computer, and phone, and ipad...Taipain12 - I think you have it, being on the same page - it's critical for all things in life. Can you find people 'on the same page' online?

    hahahahahaha - I was beginning to think I was the only one not into romance - I mean, it's nice to be made to feel special and all, but does it really have to be all flowers and candles and walks on the beach?? Just my take....!

    Depends on what your definition of romance is, monicab. . I tend to see romance as a segment of love....an expression of intimacy perhaps, when 2 people are really into each other. . But it is hard to be romantic through a 15" screen....I mean, you cant touch each other, kiss each other let alone share a bottle of wine or have dinner together...which probably suits someone like wowwow just fine ;-P . The internet is simply an introductory tool - the romance comes later if at all. . I do however think the internet is a really good medium for seduction....where the men do their best to lead the women astray....and the women do their best to entice them :)

    ... is in the eye of the beholder.I've had conversations online that have had, in my opinion, a rather romantic element element to them.Hell, I flew half way around the world to meet a guy... whom I had mostly spoken to online, then skype... the man bought me flowers and had them delivered to my work (from the other side of the planet) on my birthday, timed to arrive whilst we were talking... really, does it get much more romantic than that? I arrived in England the day before his birthday, so that we woke up together, all tangled limbs, for the first time on his birthday...Romance is what you make it.

    I actually agree - it is interesting to see that most people minds seem to go to a limited hollywood inspired idea of what romance is defined by walks on the beach and flowers...

    Message me an appropriate address, and you may - or may not - receive flowers. Gotta keep the suspense somehow!

    I'd take a guy who tunes into my headspace and how I am feeling and has a kind word or two or performs a gesture or basically is thinking about me a little, that sensitivity VS being bought diamonds, rushed off on a jet to an island when a calendar date says, 'be romantic' tick all the boxes for the cosmo quiz and back to ignoring the other until the next time. That is romance to me

    A good hard fuck can also be good for ones spirits, as it will release some endorphins and big O's. Beats a steak dinner at a resturant anyday lol! Again for me it is all about how I am feeling, what works today may not be what works for tomorrow. I wish I was male sometimes... How does it go sleep, shot, shower and a shave, lotsa sex, splendid ole chap!?

    Yes!! Internet dating has ruined romance and it feels strange personally trying to court someone through a PC screen. People of my parents age don't understand it. For them there used to be a time in dating when communicating between seeing one another took the form of hushed phone conversations or even sending letters and post cards to one another. Plans had to be made in advance and stuck to because there was no quick or immediate way to reach the other person. In that way absence really did make the heart grow fonder.
