I love romance and chivalry but we girls are brought up to be so independant that sometimes it is hard to accept a man wanting to open doors or pay for our meal.
My last boyfriend would pay for everything, to the point that I would not bother even bringing a purse/wallet when we went out, i felt guilty about it but he believed a man should be the provider and it made him happy to do that.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I love the gentleman but there is a difference between being romantic and maintaining your individuality and strength; and being a pushover who is just does what his woman says...then she runs all over him and causes a whole other forum question.

I'd take a romantic guy any day, especially after my ex. He wouldn't even take me out for dinner...ever (y'rly)

The only time I don't appreciate it is when I'm not attracted to the guy. And it's not so much lack of appreciation as it is awkward to know someone put effort into doing something really sweet when I have no desire to give them the kind of relationship they are apparently working toward.
So, IMO if a girl likes you, she'll want to know you like her too and will be pleased with any romantic gesture. If a girl acts funny when you behave in a romantic way, she's trying to figure out how not to encourage you without offending you. I mean, we all appreciate the effort...it's just coming from the wrong guy sometimes.

I like romance, just not all the time, you have to spread it out, otherwise its expected...It's good for both people to be romantic...I just do't like it over done.

Yep Romance is nice.... open doors and let them walk in front... stand when they get up from the dining table....make sure your girl is ok when you leave her with your mates..... all these things are nice....

Ive run in to this quite a bit lately, but what threw me off was when I saw her in person, she would be all excited to see me, and grab my side, or some sort of cute contact (to me thats showing intrest, but what do I know) and over the phone, she was very rude/uninterested. I havent talked to her since.

Exactly, I dont have time for games, nor do I wanna play them if I did. She was the type that wanted to be chased, and beat around the bush on everything I said, or did. Thats not fun to be around, and im not running through hoops, not for her anyway, I know how to treat a woman, and its not behind her, letting her run over me. No thanks.

No offense but that's not really what i call being romantic.
Once, i was dating this beautiful girl, and before to leave her appartment on a saturday morning while she was sleeping, i bought some roses, i "putted" them (sp ?) on the table and she woke up 2 hours later while the stereo was playing a love song...then she watched the roses and was like "AWwwwwwwwwwww...............".

This is so true..MOst guys who do things for women now days are just trying to get something..I am married, I am not trying to get with a women but simple things like holding a door and waiting for the lady to pass through or picking up something that was dropped gets me the wierdest looks...I am teaching my sons to be the same way..Most women seem to feel uncomfortable when a stranger does something for them...
