Are Women the Only Ones Who Deserve Love and Romance?

In nearly every conversation I’ve had about love and relationships and reading through posts here there’s a recurring theme: a lot of expectations placed on men. Things like buying flowers, planning dinner dates, organizing spontaneous getaways, celebrating Valentine’s Day, buying gifts, and remembering anniversaries seem to fall primarily on men.

This got me thinking—how do women show love and romance?

And before anyone says “cooking” or “dressing up,” let’s leave those out. Just like providing and protecting aren’t typically counted as “romantic” gestures for men, let’s exclude things like cooking or intimacy from being considered romantic for women.

So, what are the romantic gestures women typically bring to a relationship? Should love and romance be a two-way street? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
