Becoming Mr. Romantic

by Daniel Chiam





A picture of this guy managed to won RM50 from The Star newspaper. I was there too and I even helped him to sign the appeal notes. I can't be the voice of many but some girls do find this a romantic thing to do. Go up to the front line and risk everything just for the love of his life.

If you happened to watch all the romantic wedding proposal on Youtube, you will know that being romantic, is about taking a whole bunch of effort into making things happened. Idea, planning, execution, improvisation and yes of course your sincerity and a whole lots of your love.

Romanticism is not dead yet. It's just that men are getting more lazy each day. We always opt for the easiest way to make the girls happy. We buy them things, expensive things. When they are happy with the things they get, they don't really care whether we guys are romantic or not, haha (girls, correct me if I'm dead wrong. At least that's how some of the guys think).

You know, staying up until 4 in the morning just to figure out how to tie a few chocolate together to look like a bouquet of flowers is not easy. Especially when you are creatively challenged and you don't have all the materials in order to make it happened. Even if it didn't turn out like you wanted it to be, but its still the efforts that's matter.

If you want to be romantic and sweet toward your love one, its all about the effort, effort, effort and more effort. A long lasting relationship don't come easy without any effort to keep the sparks alive. 

I just wanted to write this in order to remind myself in the future when I am getting too comfortable in a relationship and was too lazy to do anything special and sweet for the one I love.... Okay, long way to go but its never too late to keep a reminder, haha.

  5. Err... i don't want to be proposed as in the photos. Don't think it's romantic! Thanks and sorry! hahahahaa..

    Kinda disagree with - When they are happy with the things they get, they don't really care whether we guys are romantic or not.

    Giving things is not romantic! it's like giving an ice-cream to kids. kinda mo kasi sinang ati then u can busy with others while ur partner 'busy' with the 'new toy'! Oppss... sorryy...

    apa2 pun, a relationship need to be spiced up no matter how.. :D

  9. @Hayley: Haha efforts include money also, but in the end its about creating that one moment that really matter.

    @Aweyn: Sangat benar.

    @Sully: Romantic is not measure in material sense, but its more about the amount of effort that a guy take :D

    @YYDTH: Ask your bf to come by, haha.

    @Just: Haha, I disagree too but its how certain guys think. They choose the easy way out to please their girl, haha.

    @Claire: I am thinking the same too! Why girls why?!

  11. Dead wrong. I don't mind the price, actually, I don't care for presents. But romantic surprises once in a while will keep me by his side forever! XD Even if everything goes wrong, I'd still be extremely for the thought and effort he puts in :)

  12. There are many ways romantic things that can be done. It just take patience, bravery, sincerity, luck and the right time, not necessarily spending a sh*tload of cash on something expensive, in my opinion.

    Giving her something special when she least expected, even the simplest thing that you do to her and you don't even realized it could be felt so romantic to her.

  13. I dont mind being proposed that way. :)

    To me, everytime Alvin shows gestures of how he cares for me...like, hold my hand when crossing the road. Or, when im alone at home and he calls to ask if he ive eaten or not...that for me, is romantic already. :)
