Today I was on the boardwalk eating my lunch and I happened to notice a couples that were obviously very in love and you can tell it was real. It just made me feel so much better than I have been feeling lately.

 

It seems that there is so much misery and animosity between men and women these days that when I see something like this it gives me hope and makes me want to get over my own crap so I can have that in my own relationship.

 

I will schedule a date with my wife for tomorrow.

Yes!

 

I love seeing happy couples, it warms my heart. I am often a very analytical and cool-headed person, but I am a soppy romantic bastard at heart :love:.

 

:laugh:

 

EDIT: You shouldn't schedule the date, just take her on the date spontaneously. Make it a surprise. Treat your wife ;)

I also love seeing happy couples whenever I'm out. A good while back, when I was very bitter, I'd often feel extremely miserable seeing couples out and about in city. I see things way differently now.

 

So yeah, scheduling a date for you and your wife sounds like a marvelous idea.

Yeah, it's nice, but you are seeing them at their best. They could have a giant fight next weekend at home. You never know.

 

Relationships are tough. It's not all just about lovey-dovey stuff. It includes the bad times as well.

 

What makes a relationship work out isn't dependent on how you handle the good times. It depends on how you handle the bad times.

Yes, it is rather nice of you to want to spend time with your wife.

Yeah, even though I'm single and not dating, I'm happy to see couples enjoying their time together. When the son of a good friend gets married next month, I'll probably cry happy tears for them, wishing them far better success than I had in marriage.

 

Good luck on your date. Life and love are precious things.

I've figured out that all you have to do to get better is make more days better. Life isn't always happy. Not every day is good. But you can make more of them better. This tends to build up steam in time, and you naturally have more good days.

 

As to the thread topic, I love seeing happy couples in love. The only thing better than seeing a happy couple in love is BEING a happy couple in love :D

I don't particularly enjoy seeing fellow men fall for the sweet and sugary scent a fly trap uses to lure its prey.

Woggle, what a lovely thread and a wonderful idea to take your wife out on a date.

 

I love seeing happy couples, especially seniors holding hands - there's something about love in the "twilight years" that is very sweet and heart-warming. I like to think that they were childhood sweethearts who survived wars, children and all sorts to spend decades by each other's side.

 

And I love being part of a happy couple - though we try to limit the PDA because it's not very appropriate in front of certain audiences and in some places.

My wife loves crime flicks like I do. Is Savages a good idea for a date movie?

I saw the review for that the other night when I went to see Ted, Savages looks pretty good. :bunny:

Yes. It's the best.

 

One of my buddies who has had all kinds of trouble with women over the years finally has a girl, and I saw them dance in a bar the other day. So awkward and ugly. Yet so sweet. :) Good to know that even the toughest luick people can find romance.

 

Seeing stuff like that should remind people it's not about how good looking or ugly you are compared to your partner, how much more money he makes than you, it's about the fact that you are 2 human beings enjoying each other's company.

 

That's what a couple is all about to me...

I used to feel bitter when I was single and see happy couples.

 

Now that I have a g/f I feel happy for them.

Growing up my "best friend's" family was like a substitute for mine at times, and her parents were the only positive role models I had when it came to love and relationships. They've been married over 20 years now and they've gone through many hardships, but they've always stuck together, looked out for each other, and are still happy together. It's good to be reminded that things like this exist.

Even though I may never find it, I enjoy seeing all the happy couples around :):love:

I LOVE to see them and I notice them all the time. Just this last weekend I had a (happily married lady) friend visiting me from another state. We ate dinner together in a tavern and we were both all tickled about the really adorable "older" couple (which has to be pretty damn old, to be older than me!) who were on a romantic date at the table next to us.

 

And yesterday, we were at an old diner out by the river and there was a REALLY cute couple obviously smitten with each other, and both of us remarked on it.

 

Truly, I notice these couples much more often than I notice the horrible ones. I guess I just like to take note of things that make me feel better rather than worse.

I love to see couples who are in love. This is what my husband and I hope to achieve in our relationship and I think we're getting to a place of strength and contentment as a couple. It takes ALOT of work to maintain passion in a relationship. It also takes sacrifice, respect, compromise etc to become "that couple".

I despise PDA, particularly hand holding. These people don't get the f**k out of my way when I'm transporting someone on a stretcher.

Maybe they are more common than I think but then how come all you hear about these days is drama and animosity between men and women?

I don't hear about that stuff, outside of on LS.

 

Even the couples I know that fight a lot also love a lot.

 

I love meeting happy couples. We've gotten to the point were we are an "example" for younger couples we know (god, how did that happen??). That's cool, but I still love talking to happy couples who have been together twice as long as us, and hearing their love for each other :love:
