Romance Isn't Just for Saps!
You both know it's corny, and neither of you would ever admit it aloud (not even to yourselves), but some of the "chick flicks" that find their way onto your TV screen on rainy Saturday afternoons actually stir something inside of you. Naturally, of course, you pretend to read your newspaper or do a crossword puzzle while the movie just so happens to be playing in the background. Each of you is way too engrossed in your other activity to notice that, from time to time, the other is sneaking peeks at the screen.
Neither of you could decide on a show. First, one of you had control of the remote, but flipped through all 562 channels in less than two minutes, claiming there was nothing on. Then, when the other insisted on making the rounds, and lingered for longer than a millisecond on this "stupid movie", that's what you settled on. Both of you grumbled about it, but, hey, you agreed that since you weren't really going to be watching anyway, and it was only on for some background sound, it didn't make much difference, did it?
While pretending not to be interested in the movie, you admit to yourself that, yeah, it's corny, but you really would like a moonlit walk on the beach. And despite your snide remarks about rose petals strewn across the bed, you think it would be nice if someone did that for you. Still, neither of you will go so far as to admit that last weekend you got choked up at the end of "Dirty Dancing" and cheered internally. "I saw you smiling!" one of you accuses. "Yeah, because it was finally over!" the other defends.
Who are you kidding, though? It's time to face up to it: you're a romantic sap! But you know what? No one has to know! Still, wouldn't it be lovely if you could confess to each other? Sure it would. But if you're not willing to actually say the words, "Honey, I was overjoyed when Baby finally trusted Johnny and leapt into his arms at the end of 'Dirty Dancing'," you can always express your romantic side by treating your love to a romantic weekend getaway, where, just like Baby and Johnny, you can have the time of your life.
