Happy Talk Tuesday, Sex and the City style. Let’s talk about season 3 episode 6 “Are we Sluts?” In this episode Carrie is at the beginning stages of dating Aiden. They are going on dates, long walks, long conversations etc, but Carrie thinks he is not in to her, because he hasn’t tried to sleep with her after a week and a half of dating. When she brought this up to him, he let her know he was trying to take things slow and provide romance. This stumped her; she never even considered waiting or dating without sex. She completely forgot what it felt like for a man to be romantic and so therefore she didn’t even think to expect it. Which brings me to this; people sometime say “Chivalry is dead” but do we think romance is dead too? If you know me, you know that I am a hopeless romantic so of course my answer is “damn I hope not” but really when I think of all the horrible relationships and situationships I have dealt with over the years I cannot remember the last time I had someone do something romantic for me. In this day in age we get so caught up in texting, facetime and the occasional phone calls (yes occasional, because I swear no one talks on the phone anymore) that you just start settling for what is given. To just allow what is given, especially as a hopeless romantic, is pretty down right sad don’t you think? Why is it that we allow ourselves to give up on our dreams of being “wooed” or just simply stop expecting men to provide romance? Has it gotten so bad that we automatically skip the frills, fireworks and butterflies? To all my single girls out there what do you think? Is romance dead? To all my married or in relationship girls out there, what was the romantic thing your one did for you that reminded you that romance still lives? Let’s Talk From Jaime With Love.
Talk Tuesday!
