Romance-Does it still exist?!
Where did all the romance go?! I am constantly asking myself this question. Especially when I am approached by someone or when someone “slides into my DM’s” it’s like all sense of romance has been LOST! The messages I sometimes receive from boys (I refuse to refer to them as men) are just completely disgusting!!! Who the hell raised these guys?! What makes these boys think that they can talk to me like that?! For example I had a boy message me this exact message “ I love your boobs”, COME ON!!! REALLY?! I want to know who this works on because I’m pretty sure no woman EVER has seen that and been like YESS this is my prince charming I finally found him. I also had another guy message me a picture of himself with no shirt asking me to join him in the shower and following it up with telling me to not fall in love with him…ALRIGHT EASY THERE COWBOY, who the fuck said I was falling in love with you, I’m sorry I clearly didn’t get the memo that you were GODS GIFT TO WOMEN and you have all these women falling in love with you. DON’T WORRY I will be more than happy to not fall in love with you! Stop assuming because I’m a woman and you’re a guy I’m going to AUTOMATICALLY “catch feelings” or “fall in love”, that’s not how things work! How about you learn to romance and talk to someone before you start assuming they are going to fall in love with you. It was basically this jerks way of telling me I just want to fuck and he is too lazy to put forth ANY effort. What happened to getting to know someone or I don’t know MAYBE JUST MAYBE taking someone out on a date before trying to get them in bed. All I want is some romance in my life and for guys to understand that if you want a woman’s respect or you want us to give you the time of day learn to talk to us as human beings and not as a possession.
It really makes me wonder does romance still exists?
