Somalis are very romantic judging by somali songs of which almost 90% consist of love songs.. But maybe Somalis are not romantic in western context which makes perfect sense since we are not westerners.
What is romantic in the Western sense though?
Somalis are romantic before marriage and both parties like to sell each other lies and dreams. You even have a famous proverb. I'll paraphrase is English, i'm sure someone can tell you the real Somali version:
'Court her with lies, live with her in truth'.
Beyn ku keeyne, ruunta ku dhaq.
My Somali writing is trash, so someone correct me if i'm wrong.
