The Real Don Juan!
Post date: 2006-06-27
Dear Michelle Valentine,
I'm an "incurably romantic" man--- I love to buy her flowers, and walk hand-in-hand, and even recite poetry to her. I know these are not very "masculine" traits, so how do I state in my ad how I really am, without sounding too corny?

Dear Stephen,
Do you realize that women adore men who are romantics at heart? Of course, we love to receive flowers and all those other "mushy" romantic notions! But stay away from the words "I'm and incurable romantic" in your ad. People who make this statement in their ad believe that they are telling the world that they are warm, fun-loving, and approachable. But to many intelligent people, an "incurable romantic" sounds like a person with an uncontrollable emotional problem who is a slave to his passions and is, perhaps, incapable of making rational decisions. Instead, why not paint a romantic word picture into which the reader can envision along, such as, "I like long, warm, caring conversations over a steaming cup of hot chocolate and whipped cream. . ."
Amore till next week
