Kate the Selfish?

Pizza and shagging and you guys all focused on the pizza (a sign of ageing)

I was on a platonic date with two (female) friends I hadn't seen since "early" gradeschool

In England, we've only just accepted the concept of a romantic "date" (due to internet dating). We would never describe meeting someone as a date unless sex or romance was involved. I know in America, people arrange platonic dates with colleagues, friends etc. We haven't quite got to that over here

I remember when we didn't even have romantic dates at all. We just went out with someone (or better still, we "got off" with them)

You met people in pubs then a few days later found out that you were in a relationship.....a simpler time

Australia is, was like this too. The word date isn't used, you go out with a group of friends and their friends, you end up with one in particular and after shagging and changing your FB status to 'in a relationship' you decide if you actually like them enough to stick around.
 
No, it's getting better.

It used to be Australasiany that men and women would drink until they blacked out, and then decide if who they woke up naked beside/underneath/on top of was a keeper or if it was time to find their jockeys/panties and scarper.

There's a line form the fisher king...

The "they" he is referring to are singing angels.
 
Romance (like the idea that monogamy is easy) was defined by unrealistic novels and movies

Real romance is remembering to get some milk on the way home
 
Drinking until you black out is really only fun when you're alone. When with someone, it's much more exciting to be fully conscious.

As for romance? There is always hope.
 
Romance is pretty much just static.

I'd say that romance is a trick.

If you have a good patter, and a keen use of misdirection, she'll agree to love you forever before she has any idea who you are.

There was an episode of Ally McBeal, where after 30 good years of marriage, that the husband turned into a romance machine, who had demolished their savings, bankrupting the until then happy couple with endless massive gestures, so the wife was filing for divorce.

Turned out that he had a brain tumour.

Then the argument was that if the brain tumour made him happy, and made him love his wife more, shouldn't he keep it?

David E. Kelley has a spine as weak as piss sometimes.
 
If Q had brought Janeway some flowers I think there might have been a romance brewing. But first he would have to get Kim out of the way.
 
In the Novels, Dead Janewy's Ghost walks off into the universe holding (Suzie Plaxon's) Q's hand.

I'm sure I've heard a rant from Teacake about how what happened next would have b... There's an often used term in Greys Anatomy: "The Dirty Mistreses Club".

Maybe that's why Q was trying to slip one in before his wife (you're not thinking fourth dimensionally Marty!) turned up in the Q and the Grey, to avenge the affair that Kathryn was going to have with Q almost ten years later by pitching his flag first!

Sloppy seconds is not a nice phrase, but when you have time travel on your side, it's really quite an interesting race to see who does it first last as the two of you plunge deeper down her time line to... Note how Chiana took John Crichton's virginity, even though he met Aeryn first almost 6 months before Chiana.

Sometimes it's cold and you need an ensign to keep your feet warm, but that doesn't mean that you #### him.

There comes a point in a relationship where to keep it going, you need to increase the amount of time you're both unconscious or drunk

And the award for bringing the thread back on topic goes to.....

Despite all his powers, Q was too goofy and we all know Janeway likes rugged, alpha males who will put her over their knee if necessary

He brought her a DOG! That was the ideal gift of romance. Didn't work.

That's the ideal....forgive me for {insert whatever you did wrong here} gift (that was Q's first mistake.....never ask Kathy for forgiveness or she'll lose respect for you)

Chak gave her a ROSE! She liked it plenty. Didn't work.

She did? She seemed to be in Kate mode and took it out of obligation . And she casually left it behind for a sailboat which ,may or may not have been platonic. Kate tends to do things most think is a romantic gesture so it was probably uneventful-as you said. Didn't work.
