If I give you $100, you be happy. If I buy you $100 dinner, you also be happy.
But happy is not necessarily romantic.
I have seen many people confused over what is romantic and what isn't.
For instance, you buy a signboard to propose, is it romantic? That depends.
If you are really not in romance, then live a zombie. For a woman with a soul will always appreciate romance, or she never lived.
It's the same when it comes to 'selecting' a man or love, is it romance, or an interview for a job called boyfriend? LOL~
The latter will be looking out for qualities, otherwise... love is really about fate. You really don't know who you see and will feel strongly for. And the feeling lasts forever.
You can call it crap...
But the heart is not a logical component.
If you don't like seeing stars, maybe you'd like breaking dawn, or maybe you like a dance on the street, or maybe you merely like eyeballing...
One thing is for sure, romance doesn't necessarily cost money. But are you romantic?
