Typically, I don’t post on Thursday, but this is going to be short and I’ll even try to be sweet, even though it goes against my very nature.
I’m not romantic. Not even a little bit. I find it awkward and uncomfortable when my closest friends post undying messages of love to their significant other on Facebook. I don’t need to know he is your hero, your savior, he lifts you up higher than an eagle, and he’s the wind beneath your wings. Seriously, he’s probably no more than two feet away from you. Just turn to him and tell him. How’s that for romance; a face to face conversation.
Obviously my Facebook hating love stems from my own feelings about lovely dovey crap, and I seem to be in the minority. A lot of people like this shit. Even the Hubby. Well he might not like the sickeningly sweet Facebook posts, but he does like when I hold his hand. Or nuzzle his pretty little head. Or nip his earlobe with my incisors. That’s hot.
One of my 2013 New Year’s Resolutions was to try to be more romantic, so here goes.
Happy Valentine’s Day Baby.
This should have been our wedding song; not those two yokels who went on to have a failed reality television show.
I’ll meet you upstairs in five minutes. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
Are you romantic, and do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
P.S. If you are one of those romantics out there and posting public messages of your love, just ignore me. I’m a Scrooge.
Hahaha I have never been very romantic in the past, but have made a 180 with my boyfriend. He likes the cuddles and nuzzles and while in the past I had the tough guy persona, I kinda like the mush too. I like even better the bedroom meet up, I may just steal this letter and reword it to my love. Happy Mush Day!
It took me probably ten years or so to be ok with holding the Hubby’s hand in public, and even now, it’s a move reserved for special occasions. I’m a bad romantic, I struggle with remembering birthdays and anniversaries. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed your Mush Day with your man.
hahahah I love how NOT into the sweet stuff you are! It cracks me up. I’m so sappy personally, but I totally hate seeing other people get sappy. H-h-h-hypocriteeeee ;). Happy valentine’s day! 😛
I was tomboy growing up so I think it might stem from that. Who knows, but it’s definitely not my strong suit. I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day.
awwwww, that’s adorable, Meghan!
Aw shucks. Blushes and kicks/shuffles feet at ground.
….awe don’t lie, i know this song was dedicated to me!! Ha Ha kidding 🙂 Way to get all romantic. I’m sure the hubs had no problem meeting you upstairs!!
It was all for the Hubby, although you know I love you too. Maybe I’ll dedicate you your own song one day too.
The Hubby definitely didn’t have any problems meeting me upstairs. Hell, he’d meet me upstairs every five minutes if I allowed it.
Aww.. How romantic 😀
But don’t worry- I’m not into the mushy gushy stuff either. I’ll confess that I kind of hate hugs, so I definitely am not down for the whole pour-out-your-heart type of stuff. Except for in romantic comedies. I can watch other people do it.
Hugs are interesting because I don’t mind them, but they can’t be too long. They need to be short and sweet; none of this hold on for dear life, why are you still hugging me, this is getting awkward kind of thing. It’s weird, I’m not a fan of romance but I do enjoy a good romantic comedy from time to time too. Have a great weekend Madison.
Oh I posted on FB about my husband and valentines!! But I told someone it would be a miracle if I made it through the day without strangling him.
Who loves ya baby??!
It’s all good. I know I’m in the minority on this one, and I hope you didn’t strangle him. That would be bad.
I find your lack of romance romantic–plus what man doesn’t want his pretty little head admired? Oh lord, those Facebook posts. Two friends of mine who are engaged share a maaaaybe 500sqft apartment in NYC, and still posted lovey-dovey crap on Facebook all day. I adore them both, but really? You literally cannot be more than fifty feet away from each other, that couldn’t just be said in person?
Thank you for that. I think us non-romantics need to band together and do what, I’m not sure yet, but we’ll think of something and you can bet, it won’t be romantic.
Talk of practical things? Thoroughly and seriously take apart the plots of romantic comedies? Set realistic life goals based on healthy, balanced and realistic relationships with other sane individuals? I think I’d like this non-romantics club.
Realistic life goals based on healthy balanced relationships….my god, you are a genius!
OH hell to the yes! I can’t tell you how many times i roll my eyes reading these 15 paragraph “I love you, you complete me” status updates on facebook. Text the person or just freaking tell them! My husband and I will be married for 12 years in August and we have celebrated valentines day 0 of those years. I hate the holiday and refuse to celebrate it.
At least you’re not shy about it. I agree; those posts are too much for me, and the Hubby and I celebrated Valentine’s with a card and then scrambled eggs and home fries for dinner. If it works, don’t fix it.
I think Ralph and I are romantic all the time, or at least as romantic as we can be at our advanced ages. We’re always telling each other “I love You” and I think that counts for a lot. I got a big heart with TOO much chocolate in it. I got him the Kurt Russell “Elvis” movie. He was happy.
You two are sweet.
Awww, I knew you had it in ya! 🙂
I’m not a “gag you with a wooden spoon” sort of romantic, but I do like showing affection…public or private. But I do NOT condone the Facebook love graffiti…seriously folks, we get it, ya love the guy…now shut up and go make him a sandwich! 😉
It’s in there, just buried underneath layers of sarcasm and snarkiness.
I love bouncing from post to post with your links and finding little gems like this! I have to say you don’t strike me as the unromantic type, what with all the cooking and monkeying you’re always talking about 😉
I’m pretty open about BF… I like to think I’m not overly sentimental or gushy but who knows I could come off as a total sap. He worked hard to get to the point where I could trust him enough to be that way though so I guess I owe him one.
