Are you too mushy or too cynical about love?

What are your romantic expectations? Romance for me is like your man bringing home your favorite dish after a hellish workday. And that alone, I think I am too mushy about love. I always believe in love. No matter how many times I got hurt and cheated, I still believe in love. Now, that I am in a committed relationship the more I believe in love. We're almost in our 2 years now and I still feel that butterfly in my stomach every time we meet. I still get panic when he asked me out on a date. But that's all because I love the person. Cute isn't it?! What about you?

I believe in love and all that, and I have a soft heart for tear-jerking chick flicks, but I also approach a relationship cautiously. I don't want to get hurt, and I don't really express my personal feelings to someone until I feel comfortable enough with them, and that alone has made guys impatient with me and move on to someone else, which really hurts when you're gradually opening up to someone. I think you have to have enough of a guard up to protect you from people who are just going to hurt and take advantage of you, but you also need to have a little vulnerability.

I think I'm right in the middle. I definitely believe in love & romance but I'm also extremely realistic about them. For instance I do think that flowers are a waste of money that you just end up throwing away BUT I still love to get them! I also love it when my husband plans something romantic for me but it doesn't upset or disappoint me if it falls through or doesn't go right. I love the little romantic things that we do for each other and the ones that just happen but I have learned not to expect them or to try and force them.
