Not wanting to apppear corny...

So they don't do sappy romantic stuff or say they love you in public.
How would you react to learning this about someone you were dating?
Furthermore, would you be an automatic deal breaker?

Also to clarify, Corny in this case is being used to define behaviors commonly seen in romantic movies.

-Flowers, cards and chocolates set to your place of work.
-"I love you" "You're the light of my life" "I want to wear your as a hat"
-Gifts and I suppose gushing to their social circle about how much they like/love you.

Anything that revolves more about the giver than the giftee is a turn off. Like all those youtube "Look at how amazing I can propose" videos.

I don't really like public displays. I don't mind a little PDA and cheesiness when it comes to words and affection, but the over the top, showy things aren't my style and it just comes off as trying too hard.

So no spelling out will you marry me with fireworks or kidnapping an choir to sing and an orchestra to play fancy music while they try to literally sweep you off your feet?

It's all about the give and take.. if there's a connect if you want a hug, i will hug you, if you want to shove your tongue down my throat or spank my ass out in public I would be embrassed.

Not to enthusiastic about people watching us make out. In front of others.. there's a time and place, and even spontaneous moments it all depends.

I don't do romantic or sappy so it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I don't think telling someone you love them in public is corny though, unless they stood on the table in the middle of a restaurant & shouted it.

Or bouncing up and down on the couch and yelling "I LOVE THAT WOMAN!"

Also I can't tolerate people who speak in a cheezy manner. Just keep it real. I have a Cancer guy who keeps asking me out but he never speaks like a regular person lol he tries to make everything sound poetic or showy. Even when he messages me to say Hi it sounds like this... "Hope your Monday is more than merely mundane in fact I hope it is magically magnificent!"........ I just can't. Just say Hi, I hope you have a good day. lol
