Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks, so I feel like it's worth asking some romance related questions. Mostly, I ask now because I'm sure I'll be busy later. I'm mostly curious.

Do you believe in love at first sight or true love? I'm not going to ridicule your answer, that would hardly be professional. Me? I can't believe such sentiments, as nice as they sound. [She'd love to believe that, but Rose was much too cynical for such rubbish. There's a lot of reasons as to why, but she isn't going to talk about those. Ever.]

If you're with someone and expecting them to do something for the occasion, what would you be expecting? I suppose I'm asking what your ideal would be. Just chocolate and flowers or the whole ten yards?

I agree with you there.

...wow, I'm a romantic and even I'd never be that cheesy. At least it wasn't some of the awful pick up lines I've heard at clubs. My personal favorite was overhearing some guy compliment a girl on her outfit, she smiled and thanked him and he replied with "It'd look great on my bedroom floor."
She threw a drink in his face. It was hilarious and well deserved I think.

I'm quite proud of that young lady. Such barbaric lines such as that won't score you points usually. To think that some people think those are acceptable words to speak is just appalling at times. I like my men with a little more class.
I wish I could have seen it. It sounded quite the scene.

[marshall_lee]

I would really hope that a line like that wouldn't score any points. If it actually ever worked I think my faith in humanity would drop a little.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm no angel myself, but I at least am respectful when I'm first meeting someone.

I thought it was pretty awesome myself. I anonymously sent her over another drink for it.

I'm sure it has worked before on the more unsuspecting. Those who are easily wood by words or don't know better. People usually learn though.

That's a respectable trait to have, and I'm quite glad of it.

Bravo.

[marshall_lee]

Ugh. I'd hardly call those words to woo by. I don't think the kind of girl who would actually go for something like that is one I'd want to hang out with.

It's not like it's hard to be polite. It's kind of sad that common sense isn't so common these days.

It's no big deal.I figured she deserved something nice that evening at least.

[seeringlight]

Why be polite when you can come off as a total pig? Apparently that is the mindset of many. I suppose it's unfortunate that parents don't seem to teach many of their kids proper manners nowadays.

[marshall_lee]

Too true. I know some of the things I've overhead I'd have gotten my mouth smacked by my Mum if she'd have heard me saying it.

Culture and technology has changed dating a lot too. People don't really even date properly anymore. It's just become a hook up culture.

[seeringlight]

My mother would be appalled, if she were not also used to it. Not that she hasn't made sure they would regret treating her as so.

Many apparently find courtship asinine. Sigh. A reminder that chivalry is dying, if not at the brink of extinction.

[marshall_lee]

I suppose it's much worse for ladies than dudes.

I've always found courtship to be the fun part of starting a new relationship.

[seeringlight]

I find it rather interesting. It's a rather novel idea at the very least. But I'm probably looking at this in a more scientific standpoint as I find observing it is just so rather fascinating.

[marshall_lee]

Not me. I'd much rather work at winning someone over.
Don't you think it would be fun to be swept off your feet though?

[seeringlight]

I suppose it would be. I have yet to have it happen, but I will inform you when it has happened and my thoughts on it.
