Do you consider yourself a romantic person? Maybe you don't

I am a romantic but I'm not a traditional romantic.

I'm not big on hearts and flowers or big gestures. I've found that, too often for my taste, a grand gesture is there to disguise or hide things that aren't right.

I much prefer my fiance's little gestures, like talking out the trash, vacuming without me asking, grabbing my butt, flirting with me in public after over 18 months, over exspensive presents and flowers once a week.

As far as what I do: I back him cookies, remember to by him Milanos at the store, keep Pespi in the fridge (he's bad about letting it get down to zero and he hates drinking them warm), I support his car hobby, I tell him how I feel but don't expect him to jump through hoops to fix me, I let him be a guy, I don't give him a hard time about wanting to play a video gme instead of watching TV with me, I try to intiate sex at least once a week, whether I feel like it or not (funny even when I don't start out int he mood once I get things going I find I'm in the mood after all), I grab his butt and flirt with him in public.

We've been together a little more then 18 months and we're just as disgustling in love as ever.
