Where has the romance gone ?

After a night out on the town i noticed a few things that irked me, the most alarming of which ? Romance is dead! or atleast its slowly dying a horrible death.

Exhibit A )

Manners :

When i enter a room i usualy do hold the door open for a la'amour who may be entering, i dont expect a thankyou but usually i get a nod of approval or a thanks but alas this is no more, infact i get weird looks from women who fear i may be up to something!

"Beware the pervert opening doors for women!"

Ill assume thats whats whispered between those in the room.

Exhibit B)

Sweet Chastity :

Once upon a time, we would persue the love of a woman by whispering sweet nothings into her ear, writing poetry or song for her. Women were wooed for some time before finally she accepted your love and the happily ever after part comes after that.

Today however, the persuit is much shorter and usually involves consuming as much alcohol as possible until courage is used to ask her back to your place. Morning after ? Regret kicks in sometimes, other times a quick goodbye is said and the cycle continues.

Not all love is dead, people will marry, have children, love them, live happily etc . . .

There are a few of us who still believe in these principles and thankfully they still remain.

But its not what it was, Ze moon! Ze June! Ze spoon! C'est l'amour!! C'est toujours!

I hope im wrong.
