Gilda largely sums up my feelings on this, however, in response to what little_tippler said about romance being pressured out of society nowadays, that's quite true, but some people still work to have it. I cooked a 5-course candlelit dinner for my 6th lunaversary (6th months) with my love, and was quite ridiculed for it by several of my friends - some thought that 6th months was something that could be celebrated by a kiss, and that a candlelit dinner was something only for 'important' dates, like a year or 5 or 10, while others thought that it was outmoded and silly to do at any point. Didn't stop me from doing it, but it showed me the range of feelings there can still be on this. There were several of my friends who thought it was pretty damn cool, and my love (who shares similar views on romance as I do) enjoyed it very much so.
So, it really depends on the individual, which is what I keep on hearing reoccurring in this thread.
