En una cena se debe comer con prudencia, pero no demasiado bien, y hablar bien, pero no demasiado inteligente.

( At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely. )

"y romántica". In this sentence I'd probably say "A mí me gusta.. ", since you were talking about other people's likes in the previous sentence, and you are contrasting them with your own. - bill1111, Oct 20, 2010
