Romantic bullshit 

1. Anything meant to make a 'romantic occasion' more meaningful than it is, while killing all sense of romance.

2. Anything that makes you embarrassed of the person you're courting.

3. Anything that makes you want to dump someone's ass.
'Romantic bullshit' consists of things that detract from romance - objects like gross scented candles which induce suffocation; or clichéd thoughtless things like lousy poetry that make one of the parties involved feel awkward; ie, "roses are red, violets are blue, I have a gun, so get in the van."

romantic goth 

The romantic goth embodies what the original gothic style of arcitecture and liturature were all about: romance, decadance,an ornate asthetic,and the view that darkness and beauty are one in the same.

They have an appreciation for vintage clothing from many eras, but most have a particular fondness for the Victorian style. It was during the Victorian era that the gothic liturature movement emerged. Most romantic goths are avid readers of books from that movment and books in general.

They tend to be creative, imaginative, idealistic, sentimental, and have a love for all things old fashioned.

romantic ambiguity

Difficulty defining one's romantic status.
This romantic ambiguity is often reflected in conversations with people who are single.

When asked to define their romantic status, they give answers like, "Well, it's sort of up in the air ..." and "It's really complicated!" and "How much time do you have?" and "I would define it as, hmm, dating? Ish? Dating-ish?"

Romantic sex 

Romantic sex is fantastic. It’s all about foreplay, building anticipation and connecting emotionally. Having romantic sex with your partner is all about being vulnerable with each other. It’s about using sex as a way to connect on a deeper level. It’s an expression of love, instead of solely a way to climax. Take your time while focusing on your partner’s pleasure. Kiss, touch, and explore each other. Don’t rush through it in favor of the big finale. Be verbal, moan, tell your partner you love the way their body feels. Say I love you. These are guaranteed ways to bring a little romance into your sex life. Caressing, giving massages, cuddling, hugging, kissing on the face, and holding hands have been strongly linked to partner satisfaction. It goes without saying that fast sex isn’t romantic sex. If you feel yourself close to finishing but your partner isn’t there yet, stop, calm down, and start again. Enjoy the moment.
