The other day I was watching an old episode of Tori & Dean on Oxygen. This is a new show to me and I just recently got hooked on it, no clue why but I did. Any way, these two are just the cutest couple and so lovey-dovey to each other. He is always calling her mama in this really cute way. Well as I am watching in walks my lack of romance husband. Of course he sees what I am watching hears some of the cute things said on the show and he does one of these “how lame” comments with a not so nice jester. This just ticks me off because he had no clue that I was all warm and tingly from the romance I was seeing on the TV between a couple. He killed that warm and tingly feeling I was having instantly.
The man is clueless when it comes to wooing a lady. He is lucky he is married to me because I put up with it but if I was gone I believe he would remain single forever because he couldn’t woo a woman if he tried. Honestly, I am not sure how he hooked me. Luck, and I was young and stupid, I think! OK, that was mean because I do love him but I had to say it.
His attitude about anything romantic is awful and if he sees or hears anything it instantly gets the “how lame” comment. This does nothing for ones love life, let me just tell you. He makes fun of his friends that have any type of romance in them and calls them whipped. Honestly those friends could teach him a thing or two…. My husband’s idea of romance is buying me something sexy out of the Victoria Secrete Catalog. Seriously who is that for! I know it isn’t for my benefit otherwise they would be warm flannel pajamas, a bra that is practical and not pushing and pulling the girls in all the wrong directions, oh and the panties that look like dental floss, no thanks ….LOL
OK, I want to know, do you have a man like mine? Is he clueless about things that are romantic and if so, how bad? Or are you one of the lucky ladies that have landed Mr. Romance and what does Mr. Romance do for you that is so great?

Please stop by and visit with me and my fun loving family. I promise if you leave I comment on my site I will be poking around your site in no time and I will always leave my comments behind. I enjoy meeting new people.
17 Comments Welcome:
I love Tori & Dean too! I think Tori is hilarious; never knew she was such a comedian.
Anyway, my husband has his moments where he's totally romantic, but not often. A lot of the time, life is happy but feels pretty functional. I miss the romance too and hear that in order to get some, you've gotta dish it out. If only I had the energy. Maybe that's his problem too. Hmm-m-m-m.
ha. My hubby isn't so romantic. I think he tries, and maybe he is romantic in his mind... but...really... he talks about "boobies," like they are toys... (ok, to men maybe they are...) but reallly... I want flowers, bubble baths, and chocolate... sigh.
Are we married to the same man??? My husband is just like that! I, too, love the Tori and Dean show and I think they have the cutest relationship. He thinks the show is lame and insists that Dean is just married to Tori for her money and fame. Whatever! I think my husband is just jealous because he has no clue how to be romantic!
OK, so I know you already read my post with the latest non-romantic story! But it's not that hubby despises romance, he's just really, really conservative and it makes him uncomfortable. I liken him to Hank Hill on King of the Hill. Then one day, I realized I was Peggy. After a short bout of depression, I'm OK, with that now!
I love Tori & Dean, one night I was up to 3am watching the episodes and even though he would never admit it my husband was sitting right next to me. I don't know what it is about the show, they are just a cute couple. I imagine my husband I would be more like that if we weren't so stressed about everyday life - work, money, everything.
Is he romantic he can be and has been, but it's been awhile life always seems to get in the way these days.
My husband can be romantic when he wants. Not too mushy, but he works at a jewelry store part time, so it's comes in handy when he wants to get lucky!!
Hey I just finished reading tori's book it's actually a really good read!
I buy my own birthday cards, etc. My husband is so non romantic. I have just totally given up. I think one thing and one thing only is on his mind. How romantic is that? I so hope my two boys don't grow up to be like that.
With the cards I buy....I make him give them to me in front of the children. I want them to one day appreciate a woman...
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your post! This is too funny. My husband is the same. I thought it was just me that had a husband like this. (not really but you know what I mean)
When we were dating I always felt like the center of his attention. But not so much as we have gotten older. He never has been romantic, I don't know if he knows how to be.
I am so far from having a romantic husband that I just want to scream!!
He's tried once or twice but it never works out. He thinks it has to be big to be romantic and doesn't realize how nice the small, meaningful things are!
lolol...i laughed pretty much all the way through this one..my husband's idea of romance is buying me a chocolate bar or an ice tea and surprising me with it...romantic isn't he..lol..great post!
Why that show is addictive is beyond me, but I secretly love it too!!
He writes me love letters, or cull Pablo Neruda poems and write them with his ugly handwriting. Ugly, but cute, nonetheless :-) But he has times, too, when he's just so unromantic, it's annoying LOL
Tori & Dean, huh! I should start watching this. :-)
I think most guys are this way. Once in a while he'll pull off something romantic, but everyday life just gets in the way. One time we were walking on the beach and he picked up a key and handed it to me. I asked him what it was and he said "The key to my heart."
I've never seen Tori and Dean ;)
My husband is such a romantic, he even writes me love letters! :)
Thanks for stopping by, I love your blog! I can see myself visiting here often! I love finding new people to read :)
I love Tori and Dean! I thought it would be lame but got hooked anyways. Guess no nooky for hubby that night, huh? The last 2 days my hubby has had to put in 13 hour days. Last night he came home with some beautiful flowers and a bottle of yummy wine. I sure am one lucky gal:)

I must admit, I am one of the luckiest women I know when it comes to romance. I think it helped that we were in love in high school and then apart for almost twenty years before we finally got together and got married. All that wasted time means we don't take anything for granted.
