Wow some really great posts on this thread : ) Clearly a subject that is near and dear to our hearts.

I'll just add that it seems to me that relationships, more than any other thing in life, hinge upon your virtues. The more of your strengths you bring to bear on them and the more seriously take them, the more harvest you reap. But you usually reap well no matter the outcome. They are some of the best investments you will find in this world.

We should have more names for romance than the legendary number of Eskimo names for snow. It keeps us young, suffused with inner light, soft eyed, warm hearted. It is one of the few things in life that didn't turn out to be a myth or some kind of disappointment. One of the few truths in a world full of lies. It is a resource that anyone may acquire. The powerful cannot deny the weak from taking and enjoying fully. The otherwise defeated man can smile on his deathbed if he has savored it.

dudley_post_right strikes again!! and here i was dying to know what chelsea thought about romance and now we'll never know *tear* Quote

I think romance is a lost art not understood or practiced by many people anymore.Opening car doors and pulling out chairs may be a thing of the past but it's all about the small things now that dictates what romance is.A nice kiss after a bad day,a note in your lunch that simply says "I love you", cooking dinner together,holding someones hand when they don't expect it and many more.Thats why marriages today die so quickly,it becomes comfortable and full of repetition.Sex alone cannot sustain a relationship,there MUST be romance involved to keep it alive and fresh.Sadly these days too much importance is placed on sex and the act of sex alone as being some sort of substitute for romance instead of simply caring for one another's feelings in a pure moment in time.

lately I think my romantic side is actually my curse in life Quote

oh yeah, did i mention that if i do go on a date and teh guy dosnt have the common curtisy to open a frigen door for me. he wont get a call back... lmao Quote
