Okay, so by definition romance is "a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love", but is that as easy as it sounds. I mean, I've heard of some cheesy rear end ideas before, yet how does one come up with "a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love"? What exactly is romance? How do you even excite and mystify someone? I hate puzzles so bad.

Thoughts?
Experiences?

hahahahahahahahaha

Romance is feeding the ducks with someone special.

hiiii

I think the excitement is merely an effect of something being 'new', and having unknown, possibly positive, potential

like the excitement of a NEW job that fits your standards and interests


I think the mystery is in slowly getting to know another person


'romance' often dies down because things seem 'familiar' no longer exciting(new) or mysterious(unknown)


for me, thats only part of it, I also need a sense of security and cherishing/being cherished by the other person,, those are things that don't have to die just because something becomes 'familiar'

I try and I try and try to do whatever it takes within my realm to make her happy without losing myself ....because I am the one she wants, and want to give her "that" as purely as I can....she gave herself freely, this doesn't go unnoticed

Through dating.


Something far better understood through engaged experimentation.


Some yes, others no.


It's only puzzling when you don't have all the pieces.
Sitting there by yourself trying to "figure it out" you're missing half the pieces.
If you're sitting on the internet trying to "figure it out" while you do have someone else, you've got the wrong pieces.

Romance is the prelude to love.

Romance is that time during which you still don't know enough about the one you're interested in, so you can fill in all the details about them yourself without regard to reality.

Over time, reality will manifest, and either romance will transition to love or it will burn out.

I heard once that there is a biochemical response which actually "creates" the feeling of romance. It lasts about 6 months, if I recall correctly. After that, you "return to your senses".

Enjoy the ride.
