At what point did treating a lady with respect become romance ? When I was growing up . You took a girl to dinner or fixed her dinner , you had candle light . You stood , when she entered or left the room . You pulled out her chair, told her how nice she looked smelled . Complimented her and kissed her good night and or , this was called respect , Today somehow people think this is something that should only be done on special occasions, what was romance it was a feeling and emotion, it was souls dancing on clouds new refreshing and it was not so much of an action but desires built while talking listening and enjoying the company of one more then another , and that feeling in itself created magical things about, the point is , respect should be daily not once a week .
