What Is considered Romantic?
tolerating the company of suitors for a period of at least 12 hours without looking for an escape route or expressing impatience to return to one's own world.
to spend a
whole night with someone, and to have to abrogate the course of my natural flow of thoughts in order to acquiesce to the desires of another mental agenda for the entire time shows my fondness for the person who i allow to cause that level of displacement from my comfortable solo routine repetitions of what i like to do every day in a sequential and uninterrupted order.
that sacrifice can be considered to be "romantic" because i usually am not interested in other peoples words, and i think of the banter going on in the world as just gabble that is less meaningful than the twittering of small birds(that in fact are meaningful).
to strap myself into that world because of a fleeting philanthropic sentiment , and to try to understand someone elses way of thinking because i "like" them is fraught with complications. i can never understand how they think no matter how hard i try.
the best i can think of "romantically" is just go to sleep with a girl who i like that also finds the arduous social obligations of life to be hilariously unimportant.
but after one night with a girl such as even this, i would still alert her to the fact that there are "marching orders" that it is time for her to observe.
