what is romance?

Bro/sis longterm commitment is rampant, but if you want a lover for life, mix it up a little with romance - be creative. OR stick with the sibling life, babes. It works for more ppl I know than I would like to count. Me? I’d take the lover. I already have a brother.

Suit yourself.

mentally or physically? I didn’t think romance had anything to do with the physical…but okay, I guess I learned something (about how others think of romance).

I think it is basically derrived from all the non-physical attachments between two people.

Romance can not be one sided and is emotional response to the attractive subject.

Why is it that when people talk about romance, the conversation always turns toward what men should do for women? What about what women should do for men? I think it’s all a very sexist institution.

Romance is the craving derive from attraction.

I crave chocolate chip cookies. I don’t crave romance. Romance is a gift without purpose.

Is romance when a girl comes to my house and everything I say she turns it into something sexual?

Like I’m trying to put away some leftovers and I might say, “I don’t know what I"m gonna put this in”, and she says, “I got something you can put whatever you want in”.

Or I say, “I think I need to go shopping this afternoon”, and she’ll come back with, “why don’t you buy something to tie me up and abuse me with?”

It’s like I’m trying to get my shit done and every word out of this bitch’s mouth is essentially a request for penis.

Her lack of self control is sickening.

ROTFLMFAO. No that is not romance, graphic desperate seduction maybe, but, not romance. I belive though that is just plain old flatout horniness.

:laughing: Then you do crave romance, Kristy, and I think that there is an underlying, evolutionarily imperative, even if unconscious purpose to romance - probably the same purpose as that which you attain through eating the chocolate chip cookies.

…and then ends here, where one is satiated…hopefully :laughing: though the experience of it lingers on.

Satiated? One can never have enough Chocolate chip cookies. :slight_smile:. And no I don’t want to cook them just eat them… thats a dance I can do without. :slight_smile:
Now romance is my husband recently discovering my liking for these cookies courtesy our son, He brought home a dozen bakery fresh just for me and for no reason other than to just do it for me.

Now, that is romance. And how is matt?

LOL not sure about any Matt but, my love Jeff is ornery fiesty and fine. :slight_smile: Hmm, oh yea nope not Mormon, cant do that. … Darn … nope wait, two males? nope one is hard enough … … See what you started Arc, , shame on you … :slight_smile: :slight_smile: .LOL

Dear OP, what’s the purpose of asking such selfexplanatory question? It seems highly irrelevant.

Romance is a type of medieval state of mind like Roland.

Youthful romance is a peacock’s display in hopes of sex. Mature romance is companionship.

Seeing a girl’s beautiful face just one time and it sticks inside your memory forever, and you know that you’re going to take big risks to have her.

My favorite cookies are Dad’s Goodie Rings (they are absolutely divine–they taste like a peanut butter and honey sandwich mixed with chocolate). My wife got me a box just the other day. As I bit into one, savoring the taste, I said to her “Getting these cookies from you is like getting a bouquet of roses.”

Oh peachy now I want cookies for breakfast. Thanks :slight_smile:

Irrelevant to what or to whom? Self explanatory in what way?

At least do some work and give us something better than this.
