I want Romance.

I want romance in my life, as much as I can take.

I want the kind of romance that lasts and changes through the test of time. I want romance that I can rely on and romance that takes me places that I never thought were possible to travel to. I want natural hits and doses of regular romance in my life.

I want romance that's easy to give, and easy to hold onto. I want a partnership that puts some real romance in my life.

Thoughts? What do you think about romance?

 

well whenare ya commin over?

 

So do I. :sigh: I'd love to fall in love, :'(

Edit: I've just looked at your picture Aristartle, you're very pretty. It's a shame so many people feel such negative emotions towards me.

 

If in a relationship, I love a bit or romance. Spontaneous shows of affection, last minute weekend getaways, popping all the way accross town just to catch your lover for 5 minutes during your 1 hour lunch break.. There are a million different ways to be romantic and all of them add smiles and spice to a relationship. But none are a substitute for love, only an added extra.

Romance rocks.

 

I love romance and passion. I've just recently started understanding more about women and how much emotion means to them and I must say, like red said, romance rocks!

 

when in love romance should be a constant a part of every thought action gesture look breath word and touch..

& fibre havent looked at hers in hmm 8 months maybe? but yes yes she is
dont gotta look to know that tho



edit..wow did just look at that eye.....

 

Romance, like everything else in life, is just a temporary thing.
At best it changes into dependancy. At worst too.
It never lasts, so better just enjoy the bits of it you can grab. And then let go of it to be able to experience it again.

 

Oh, I want that too.....
I'm so tired of being surrounded by guys who think I'm fantastic all the time, but have nothing but male friends in them because they already have girlfriends, live far away or have decided not to have girlfriend until the end of the college.....
I want to fall in love and this time I want it to be really great!.....

 

I'm an intensely intimate and romantic and passionate sort.

The relationship I'm in now, is strictly carnal. But whatev.

 

Yeah, I want to find romance in the small realms within a relationship. I mean, I think it's something that can last or at least keep the love alive.

I want romance to change into a sense of dependency - I wouldn't mind it changing - like how my partner and I can depend on each other to keep warm in the middle of the night when the furnace breaks.

I want to find romance in normal dynamics of a relationship. Like how it's romantic that the lawn gets mowed every Saturday or the small considerations that go into the makings of a meal for one another. I want romance that ripens from intimacy and love.

 

I also dig Romance and being romantic from time to time. However that is usually a big distraction for me so I wouldn't like anything to spring on me until this semester is over. If something or someone sparks my romantic interest I wont look away.

 

Love is a friendship caught on fire. In the beggining a flame, very pretty, often hot and feirce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, out hearts mature, and our love becomes as coals. Deep-burning and unquenchable.

 

I don't know how I feel about romance... it some ways, I think it's really silly, but on a deep, feminine level, I think I crave it...

I can certainly live without it, my partner is not very romantic, he's extremely genuine, extremely passionate, extremely loving, but not at all romantic, sometimes there are romantic gestures... but for me, I've had to 1. stop wanting him to be romantic, because that's not who he is 2. see some of the things he does as romantic, even if unintentional

I love the helsinki out of him, but he's not romantic, I don't need romance, so instead I write about it... that works. I think when he gets the concept he'll try to romance me sometimes, but currently he doesn't get it... and honestly, I'm quite glad because it made me face something deep in myself... like that little girl part of me, that always wanted... (fairy tales) and realize why I wanted those things, what significance it really has in my life(none), and how to let go of expectations and find joy in my truth.

 

damn well said

i think though by making your lives togethger an adventure in romance its fuel to the fire that can keep it burning bright as the sun...

 

Exactly. You know what I mean. That sounds like that Walt Whitman poem:

 

Where did I here that before? Dangit~!

 

Triggers something in my mind too, but I can't seem to place it now.

 

Jesus Christ, bird. Deep cynicism there? An existential crisis even?

Intimacy frequently morphs into dependency. But is it a necessity?

I will say though, that if someone goes into a relationship of intimacy prioritizing how long it's going to last, or with a pre-conceived idea in that regard, they are half-way into dependency already.

 

My great-grandparents walked hand in hand to work every day. They worked right next door to each other; a barbershop and a hair salon. Walked home for lunch every afternoon. They were married for 65 years before she died.

That's romance to me.

 

It probably was. But those are outward symptoms.

A lot of people from that generation stayed married for extended periods of time, did their daily rituals, etc. And yet they were not intimate in the fullest sense of the word.

I don't think length of time is what does it. It might be a symptom of a healthy relationship, but it isn't a healthy relationship in itself. Neither is monogamy.
