Not really an easy subject to get good advice on.

[pellameno]

We don't understand it, is all.

[jstalovemachine]

How so?

[pellameno]

What makes a thing romantic?

[jstalovemachine]

Well, that depends on the person you want to find it romantic.

[pellameno]

Is it simply in the gesture, then?

[jstalovemachine]

That, and knowing the other person well enough to know they'd like.

[pellameno]

That's the thinking I put behind gifts, but I don't think they'd be considered romantic.

[jstalovemachine]

Mm, it's the intention behind it, I suppose.

[pellameno]

And the mood?

[jstalovemachine]

The right mood is definitely helpful.

[pellameno]

I figured as much, but I don't know how to set it.

[jstalovemachine]

Well, what kinds of things do they like?

[pellameno]

[mentally composing a list]

[pellameno]

Alright... I do know several things.
