When a guy is trying his best to be romantic, he’ll probably make the
bed. Somehow, he thinks this is both romantic and a great way to get
you to join him in said bed. The act alone isn’t exactly the top of our
romance list.
What we think of as romantic and the things guys
think are romantic are often two very different things. I’m not the most
romantic person, but even I’ve had to stop and wonder what some guys
were thinking. The important thing to remember is their heart was in the
right place. Still, some things guys think are romantic are just plain
weird.
1. WATCHING CHICK FLICKS
Guys aren’t exactly fans of
chick flicks. Still, they make a big show of watching them with us. One
of the most common things guys think are romantic ends up being anything
but. The problem is they complain about it later. That takes the
romance completely out of it. Finding a movie he knows you’ll both enjoy
is actually far more romantic.
2. VACUUMING
Is it really romantic that he pushes a
vacuum around the house? Not really. It’s nice that he’s helping out,
especially if you didn’t have to ask. It’s just not exactly what women
think of when it comes to romance. To us, it’s just a regular household
chore. Somehow, guys think it’s some highly romantic activity.
3. KEEPING GAS AT BAY
Odds
are, if you’ve been with the same guy for a while, gas is just another
part of your daily lives together. If he’s trying to be sweet or it’s a
special occasion, he’ll try to hold back. This is his idea of romance.
Apparently, holding back noxious fumes after dinner is his way of saying
“I love you.” Okay, maybe this one is kind of romantic, but it’s still
not what women usually have in mind.
4. WASHING THE DISHES
Unless
he’s also cooked dinner, washing the dishes is just another chore. It
is fun to hang out in the kitchen together and clean up after dinner.
However, making sure you see him washing the dishes is just sad. It
shouldn’t be something he does just to be romantic. It should be
something he does just to help out.
5. PUTTING DOWN THE TOILET SEAT
Listen
to a group of guys sometime and you’ll quickly discover they think
putting down the toilet seat for their woman is highly romantic. While I
appreciate the thought, it’s not romantic to keep me from falling in
the toilet. It’s just common courtesy and part of living with a woman.
Now, carrying us over a large puddle, that’s romantic.
6. MAKING THE BED
When
a guy is trying his best to be romantic, he’ll probably make the bed.
Somehow, he thinks this is both romantic and a great way to get you to
join him in said bed. The act alone isn’t exactly the top of our romance
list. Now, if he’s planning a nice massage on the bed, a foot rub or
leaves your favorite chocolates on the pillow, he might just have this
romance thing down after all.
7. GIVING YOU CONTROL OVER THE TV
Guys
absolutely love TV. I can see how they honestly believe it’s romantic
to let their girl control the remote for a while. To them, they’re
handing over a prized possession. Still, they probably do the same with
their guy friends. It’s nice to be able to share the tube, but it’s not
romantic. Taking the kids out and giving her some alone time to watch
her favourite shows uninterrupted might be the more romantic option.
