With all due respect, I find the sentimentality in this thread disgusting. Namely because they strike me as emotional responses to the momentary belief that some utopian Hollywood meme has, in fact, manifested itself as real. Did you all cry during The Notebook? (Rhetorical question, BTW). Romance is a nice thread to weave throughout a relationship but I never take it seriously or regard it as a barometer for the emotional health of things. At best, it's a plaything to enjoy from time to time.
That said, the most romantic thing a girl ever told me was that she felt owned by me and loved every minute of it.
