Let's take a hypothetical couple, and let's call them, just for the hell of it, N and Z.
And let's place this hypothetical two into some hypothetical situations.
1)They decide to take an invigorating stroll after dinner. To counteract the chill of the air, N opts out of her light jacket and instead wraps herself in a long, black, fringed wool shawl with flowers. Z says:
"Honey, you look like a table". N says nothing but gives him a foul look [although according to Z she says plenty in the next two hours].
Poll Shall I compare thee to a piece of furniture
2)As they wander about and N tries to convey the complexities of the female mind, she brings up things like "needing there to be specialness and effort in a relationship".
In an effort to take on board N's complaint about *needing romance* he says:
"The mooon is pretty. Now kiss me." [Satisfied with having fulfilled mysterious womanly demands Z moves on]*
Poll Romance
* NB, Z claims that people are not romantic when they are preoccupied with digesting 13" of pizza**
**N would like to note that she has not noticed a change even when seeing the man before dinner.
No relationships were harmed in the making of these polls
