i think u're right about the choice. coming up with "ideas" to
be romantic can be quite easy, it's just the action part. or maybe
some guys just really dunno? honestly, as a guy, it's not dun know,
it's dun want. oh i've been guilty of it. 
thanx for your thumbs up. this story is very close to me. extremely
heartfelt and personal to a great extent.
unfortunately i'm going thru a rough patch now. it's nice to see
the HUGE difference between ideals and realism, and sit back and
laugh.
the world has become very inforgiving, especially to idealists.
