What Is Romance?

The word romance actually means an emotionally intensive affair or nature which is typically amorous and is more focused towards the aesthetic nuance of emotions than appealing to merely just the primal urges. In art, literature and culture it was a complex aesthetic and intellectual movement that held sway during 18th century and during the industrial revolution. It's incident was seen more prominently in art, literature and was supposed to be against the cold nature of pragmatic rationalization around that time. When someone is said to be a romantic at heart it typically means that they have an emotionally intensive personality and hold sentimental value with their relationships as their top priority being idealists at heart.

Romance is different for every person. For you it could be a candle lit dinner and flowers; for me it could be take-out and a foot rub. A friend once related to me that if cut flowers were romantic then by the same token he could sever the head of a pig and deliver it to my door step. I'd rather have the flowers, but the pig head might be preferred in some cultures. Romance is whatever makes you swoon and weak in the knees.

Romance is when you wear rose glasses. It is hard to look at world romantically without it, cause our world is so tough...
