Which One Is Your Prince Charming –Romantic,Sentimental or Earnest?

Because of the different culture, different country have different ways to show love-the France romantic,the Chinese sentiment, the American pragmatism. But which one you love? And what is hilosophy of love? Is it like that if love just love. I am sure everyone have the right concept of love.

When discussing cultural differences in love, a friend (who has ample experience) once summed it up nicely: "The French are romantic while the Chinese are sentimental." That is. When I was 16, studying in France for the summer, I feel in love with my 19-year0-old French neighbor. Actually,I fell in "like", but his sweeping romantic gestures and dramatic language - tossing "amour, amour" around all the time - whirled me up in my first French "love" affair.

His English was so so and my French was only slightly better, but I could comprehend that the flowery lines of poetry he scribbled and the phrases he breathed while looking into my eyes intensely and managing to keep a straight face were things that would be simplycheesy in any other language.

Alas, I was young and excited by the romantic novelty, so I overlooked the little things. Like he never go to cinema with me. When I left, he also never make a call or write to me. My first French love affair ended quite abruptly after an over-the-top goodbye scene, complete with rustic country house, overgrown garden, and my lover's promises that for a "longtemps" he would see me "walking through his dreams".

When I got older, I found myself losing interest in this kind of romantic and long to the subtle sentiment of the Chinese. A "good Chinese man" is not one for words. Until this decade, he shuddered at words like "dear", "honey" and "love". But a Chinese man will work on the little things. He will work hard.

My college Chinese boyfriend once saw me fill a glass of water to keep on the night stand before going to bed and remorsefully told me, "I'm sorry, it should be my job to take care of these things." How warn the heart is. In his eyes, I don’t need spent so much energy to care these little things, especially like hydration. Even if he is not good at making promise or saying something beautiful, each time he took me to airport he still put a thick envelop in my hands as we said goodbye. There are so many funny things and keep me entermained on board.

This contrast between French romance and Chinese sentiment makes me wonder - what then is the American approach to love? I can best describe it as a straightforward kind of pragmatism.

My American boyfriend asked me, "Why should I get you a glass of water? Why don't you get it yourself? Do-it-yourself, well-fed, Chinese people always say like .that, right”

In the end, it's different strokes for different folks and to each his own. When I was living my global love experiment before finding my husband, my good friend often advised me, "Just do what makes you happy."

That’s true enough, whether it's romance, sentiment, or pragmatism, just go with whatever floats your boat. Live, love, and be happy! That’s the most important.

Love is the main theme in our life, how happy how to live.
