Is Romance Dead or Just Dead in my World?

I feel this question is always being asked in the 21st Century and I don't know if it's because we never seem to make time for it anymore, people can't be bothered with the effort as they feel they don't need that added spark in the relationship or just generally we don't know how to be romantic.

Whatever it is, I think it needs to be brought back full throttle and I'm not just talking about men needing to pull out their romantic side, us women need to as well! 

I mean don't get me wrong, I've been romanced with the whole candles and dinner cooked for me and little presents brought here and there but after what we all like to call "the honeymoon period" it tends to only come around on occasions like, Valentines Day and Birthdays and the same romantic gesture tends to always be present. What happened to element of surprise? Or being impulsive? 

I like to think I've been a bit better on the uptake of romance in the past by taking partners away or by arranging little romantic gestures I know they would appreciate.

It just frustrates me when films promote romance like it still happens frequently and as amazingly as its shown on screen, if anything its far from it. Either that or I haven't found "Mr Perfect" who wants to continuously sweep me off my feet like I do them, instead of watching the football or drinking with his friends.

I do however have a bit of faith left thanks to my friend telling me yesterday how her boyfriend had brought her a dress (would like to point out Topshop) and flowers and no it wasn't her Birthday nor any other occasion or their "Honeymoon period". Just pure love for her.

Jealous much... Only a tad....
