Truly not Romantic

I am truly not romantic. The Neanderthal "me Tarzan, you Jane" image is generally what comes to mind or some pencilneck geek who would rather test the beta version of Halo than interact with the opposite sex. I don't see myself this way. When I try, its just goofy. I don't have the romantic self confidence to be able to pull it off. Fortunately, my wife isn't dependent on a steady stream of romantic fluff to validate our relationship, but I bet she would like a little. I have always envied those who could shake off the protective shell and open themselves up, to make themselves vulnerable to failure. I often wait for the sure thing. I don't believe there is anything romantic about a sure thing.
