I think it's quite ridiculous to ask the nation to effectively drop their standards.
Why shouldn't we expect romantic gestures?

If they had been watching the same rom coms, then they would know exactly what is required! 
The solution obviously, is to force everybody to watch them.

We'd end up needing a special lane on the motorways to cope with all the people making a mad dash to the airport to catch up with their departing love interest.
This would, unfortunately, have the negative side effect of making people watch films with Hugh Grant, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez in them. This is unacceptable.
Really- Rom-Coms are supposed to be fantasy, not a how to guide. 
Hugh Grant is alright, leave him alone. The others are pretty rubbish, I agree.

What's wrong with grand gestures?

As how to guides go, I prefer porn.
The guy's an embarassment who keeps making the same film over and over again.
No he bloody well isn't! Shame on you!
Well, there's nothing wrong with gestures, but expecting that your own relationship will start with a "cute meet," you'll instantly fall in love halfway across the country and your lover will declare his love for you on top of the Empire State Building is pretty dammed unrealistic. It puts too much pressure on the relationship and makes for a distorted view of what adult relationships are really like.
^ I didn't mean it quite as literally as that! I meant the huge bunch of red roses, surprise Valentines dinners, proposals on bended knee... that sort of thing. That's not too taxing if you think about it.
There's nothing wrong with any of that as long as it's not a one way street.
(And I don't mean the guy does that and then the woman tolerates laying there while he has sex on her if he does it exactly right
)
Here we go again...
Do you want to be a woman?

I was joking!!!! I agree with you!
Phew. *Wipes brow*

All I meant was that it's not right for one partner to do all the work.
You know, you oughta' have a pre-written message covering all this, to copy and paste as needed, just to save you all the repeated hassle... a lot of us know it so well, we could even write it for you.

It seems, sometimes, like others have pre-written replies to my posts so maybe that's a good idea.
