I am wildly romantic. Sometimes I wear my feelings on my sleeve, but beneath it all I am still regulated by my practical side and at least a little bit of common sense. I realize that I don't know much about the gals I talk with here, really. I have to depend on what I do know and perceive.The woman of my dreams is truly reponsive to romantic gesture, energetic, petite, intelligent and attractive to me. I also realize that she might operate with an entirely different set of qualifications for the guy who fits her. I would never knowingly pursue any relationship with a woman who did not find me compatible and attractive. My goal is to find the one who feels just as strongly about me as I do about her. It is never my desire to seduce a woman with my poetry or words. I would rather she be so enamored by the man that I am that she would have a deep desire to be with me...to be mine.
Though my feelings may often rest on my sleeve, I am still a big boy and grown up enough to avoid investing strong emotions on frail hopes. In the early stages of flirting and these playful courtship gestures, or dating I can handle someone saying to me, "Steve, I like you but I was hoping to find someone closer, fatter, skinnier, brighter, older, younger, better looking, with Billy Bob teeth"... or whatever tickles their fancy. Actually I prefer that course of action because it (hopefully) redirects me to the one who might actually have all the right chemistry to be my mate. The only thing worse than being on a dead end street is getting stuck in a ditch while spinning ones wheels there. It is better to recategorize a possible romantic relationship to "just friends" than to live indefinitely with a sense of false hope.

You have an eloquent way of expressing your needs, wants, and desires. Woman have those same needs, wants, and desires, also. They may be a little reserved about coming forward with them. It is just something to consider in your quest and journey.

I being that I am a Capricorn, I so identify with your romantic vs. practical scale of justice and balances... I am a romantic but a realist.. what a frikken combo, heynet or no?

And for my last best relationship in life, I want someone that I am hopelessly, endlessly, breathlessly can't wait to share my day with, so I do understand that. What I believe though is that sometimes, and here is the realistic side of that romantic part I just typed, there are latent romantic attributes to someone that do not become apparent at first blush, first meet, whatever the term is.

I believe that sometimes people tend to categorize a person after one date, one meet as "he/she doesn't trip my trigger, doesn't float my boat, doesn't send chills up my back", when it could be attributed to nervousness, shyness, or plain fear of saying, walking, talking, laughing at an inappropriate time. For example, my son and I discussed about how hard it is for him to sometimes carry on a conversation with ease with new people he meets; believe it or not (and all you people that believe me to be a chatterbox that rarely seems flustered .. SHUTEY!)... this gift of gab, this ease of conversation, this I really don't give an eff if they like what I say or how I look is an acquired skill/talent/attribute, it is sorta like the gaining of the wisdom that we get as we mature into such beautiful and sexy women....

All I am saying, is give them a chance.. give faith a chance.. give hope a chance and give yourself a chance to have a gift bestowed upon you .. one that if you went with that first meet, that first talk, you may have tossed aside. In 10 years, when you meet that person again, and they are laughing and holding tenderly to someone else, you may think .. wow, who woulda guessed he/she could be like that????

Now, the romantic side of me ..when Sam Elliott finally realizes all those things I mentioned above about me, hell yeah, I am gonna run away with him and have wild mad passionate monkey sex!!!!
