Favorite Romantic Poem #17: “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll
Tina’s favorite poem is one that has always stumped Gigi: “The Jabberwockey”
Trying to write about it in high school, when it is made up language always drove her crazy lol!! Personally, I think that Lewis Carroll wrote it in complete jibberish to laugh at anyone trying to make sense of it!! Favorite Romantic Poem #17: “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll – continue reading…

Favorite Romantic Meal #37: From Tina’s kitchen
Tina has the right idea for a romantic meal… there is nothing like a good bottle of wine and a good plate of spaghetti!! It is an easy dish to make, and something everyone loves. Gigi is known in several countries for her amazing spaghetti sauce. She cooked it this week for the kids that she is babysitting, and they practically inhaled it. Her Canadian ex used to love Gigi’s spaghetti… sigh. Favorite Romantic Meal #37: From Tina’s kitchen – continue reading…
Favorite Romantic Song #37: Tina’s choice
Tina chose well for her romantic choice… She said that there were so many, but that she loved the blues. Gigi loves the blues too, and they are great to listen to with your honey… if there is a honey to be had. But this week, Gigi is anti-romance. Dating sucks and online dating was invented by evil spirits!! You will not believe the things Gigi has gone through since Jean-Claude disappeared!! But back to Tina, and her choices.

Favorite Romantic Movie #37: Tina’s choice
Tina continues her favorites with a sci-fi movie… I might just change the name of this category to favorite and take the romantic part out… it would really help to have a good list of movies and books to entertain me when romance simply sucks!! Tina had a good choice of a movie, and one that Gigi saw when it first came out. Nothing like a good sci-fi film to take your mind off romance!!

Favorite Romantic Book #37: Tina’s choice
If you have been reading these blogs, you will know that many of them come from Gigi’s old high school friends from Spain. It is wonderful finding them again on face book, and reliving old memories… and having them comment on my dating blog questions!! Tina is one of my latest additions to face book, and she has shared a few answers for the blog. This week I am sharing her favorites… they are not all what Gigi would consider truly deeply utterly romantic, but romance is not the be all and end all. (Can you tell Gigi is off dating again?).

Favorite Romantic Movie #36: Ana’s choice
Ana finished the week’s romantic category with one of Gigi’s all time favorites. Like Gigi, Ana said that she can watch this movie over and over. it is one of those movies that everyone has seen, and if you ever are flipping through television channels and see it playing, you cannot help but stop and watch the rest of it, no matter how many times you have seen it.

Favorite Romantic Song #36: Ana’s choice
Ana needed some slow and sexy romantic songs to add to her fantasy of hot men on a beach. After all, any Latino/Latina worth their salt knows the effect romantic songs have on that moment… It sets the scene, and remember that one catches more with honey than with vinegar… Music sets the mood, and then all that follows is the icing on the cake… Favorite Romantic Song #36: Ana’s choice – continue reading…
