Raindrops keep fallin' on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothin' seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin' Aw... how romantic, isn't it? One of the oldies I quite enjoy listening to. ;-) So, do you like walking in the rain? Singapore is quite a hot and humid country. When it rains, you can see people hiding under shelters or moving around with umbrellas. Once, I saw some visitors from another country. They were as happy to see rain as we are to see snow (lol). They were taking their own sweet time, enjoying themselves while walking in the rain. Of course, they were quite a spectacle since Singaporeans do not normally walk in the rain like that. :P What about you? Do you like walking in the RAIN? Have you even strolled in the RAIN before? Do share your thoughts. ;-)

walk in the rain - romantic?
It's romantic to walk under an umbella. The gentlemen will usually spare 2/3 of the ambella to shelther over the girl, walk as the same pace of the girl, sometimes even sacrify some of their body to protect the girls against the thunder rain.

When the rain falls in the form of spray I purposely go out to feel the rain spray. Right now at Garden City of India there is a mild spray. Everyday My food will come on my office table. Today I purposely went out to have my lunch, in order to get drench in the rain water.

Haha que buena pregunta, realmente me gusta mucho esto, cuando era chico era una de las cosas que mas me gustaba hacer, ahora un poco mas grande no lo hago sequido pero algunas veces la Illuvia te sorprende verdad. ( Spanish Langauge) Means: Haha that is a good question, really I like doing very much that, when I was a boy, it was one of the things that I liked more to do now a little bigger I do not do it but sometimes the rain is surprising.

Oh I love the rain. What I would give to be able to kick off my shoes and run through a puddle as it poured down right now. It's supposed to rain here soon. Now you've got me waiting to run outside in my shorts in the rain when it starts. About the only time I use an umbrella is when I go to the car races. And then it's used to shield me from too much sun not rain. I don't hide under shelters etc when it rains unless it's a heavy downpour. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I'm not very fond of walking in the rain. I like rain a lot though. what i love doing is watch the rain slide on the window pane while sipping a hot coffee and just chatting with my wife. really eases the mind and body.

I'm usually either rushing somewhere or in my school uniform so I can't afford to get wet, but I'd like to take a walk in the rain one day. It sounds like a lot of fun :)

I love to walk in the rain. It's a good thing really because in England you can start out on a beautiful sunny day and after an hour it can be pouring with rain. One of the things I love about this country is that the weather changes on a whim.

It depends on how it´s raining. if it is light then I really dont mind. I am not one of those girls that run to seek shelter as soon as a raindrop falls, coz I am scared to ruin my hair or makeup *lol* I can not say that I prefer rain - but usually I do not mind =)

Nature's natural shower, huh? I love the rain, as long as it isn't icy cold. I like to walk in it, tread in puddles, dance in it, just lift my face to the sky and let it refresh me as it falls. I even like to swim in the sea when it's raining, as it makes the sea water feel warmer, and washes off the salt when you get out! lol. I like to dodge under trees, and then make a run for the next one, when the rain gets a bit too heavy, and I like to collect the rain in containers, especially during electic storms, as this water is very highly charged with energy and useful in my tradition. :-) Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Hey wizard, when it is a soft rainfall I love it as long as I am with my hubby (which never happens). I don't like to walk in the rain by myself it just not romantic when you are alone. We also get a very heavy rain and it will hurt if you are out in it so I will get inside as soon as I can. I often joke that I am made of sugar and will melt if I stay in the rain. LOL. I really hate my clothes clinging to me when they get wet so to intentionally go out to drench myself,especially at work is kinda goofy. However if I was in the same situation as the couple you were talking about, yup I would just walk slowly with my hubby.

Indeed i would love to walk in the rain. Not that i never had walked. But then as far romanticism is concerned yes its too romantic to walk with a girl as it drizzles and may be a melodious tune with it, or may be a cut of hot coffee. Well i dont have a girlfriend, so probably if i ever have one or get married then i would like to have such a memorable moment with her.
