What is Romance? by A. Hangover

Romance is:

  • getting roses at your office just because.
  • long walks on the beach at sunset.
  • candlelight dinners.
  • making love during a thunderstorm and climaxing with Mother Nature.
  • sharing your hopes and dreams.
  • treasuring your partner’s spirit.
  • finishing each other’s sentences.
  • fumbling towards ecstasy together at a Sarah McLachlan concert.
  • feeling like your souls are touching.
  • remembering when and where you were the first time you kissed.

Did I have you worried? You should know me better than that by now!

Romance really is:

  • showing some cleavage just because.
  • not having your current girlfriend ask you to go to the Farmers Market to meet her ex-girlfriend and her ex-girlfriend’s new girlfriend.
  • no unibrow two eyebrows and no uniboob two boobs.
  • not having to sleep in the wet spot.
  • ogling other women and men with your girlfriend.
  • never asking “Where do you see this relationship going?” or “What are you thinking about right now?”
  • skipping foreplay and pillow talk.
  • knowing that yes, I do want another beer.
  • brushing and flossing before coming to bed.
  • a Clean Plate.
  • never being Date Draped™ by your partner.*

* The act of Date Draping™ someone, also known as Aggressive Spooning™, is when you put an arm and leg around another person in bed and then smother them with your neediness.
