There have been quite a few posts on this forum and others (both public and private) that IMO vary from finding a formula for love to seemingly outright hatred of women. I decided to pull back and start at the basics and ask a general question.

What is Romance?

Admittedly there is a lot of overlap and several items listed can be characterized under romance or romantic behaviors. I did this as a poll because you only get to vote for one item. Presumably, it would be the most important but I could be wrong. And I purposely chose not to use the word "love".

**Yes, its vague.
Yes, it's leading.
And yes, there is *probably* follow up if there is a good response.

Let's see where it goes from here. If nothing, subject gets dropped.

I chose consideration and empathy. To me, romance is truly listening and caring about your partner. Consideration is the thoughtfulness of anticipating my needs or desires and meeting them. It's looking into my eyes when we are talking, holding my hand to show your interest and being polite is part of that as well. Understanding that what I want as a woman is his consideration for my feelings and his empathy for my situation without feeling the need to give me advice is extremely romantic.

I will only speak for myself but I rarely feel "heard" by men. I don't do so much talking anymore as I don't have any expectations but it was a brutal self-esteem killer when it was my husband who ignored and belittled me.

   OK, I'm not a lady but I'm going to chime in here anyway. My answer to that question is vague because it covers so many possibilities. And I believe that romance requires genuine feeling, whether we call it love or something else. Romance comes down to this: The ability to show genuine affection and to show your partner that they are genuinely desired. Some people go the route of expensive gifts or what they consider romantic scenarios, like dates or even trips together. But I think that it comes down to much smaller but significant displays. A kiss, the the right touch or even just the right word at just the right time.

   It is essentially a desire to make someone happy regardless of your own agenda.

Po, I adore you and even appreciating that this is a highly subjective query, I feel I must disagree.

What you describe, to me, is love not romance.

that's what she said! Jane Austen's response to the the type of heroic prose Midievil knights styled their poems.

humanity's modern interpretation of romance is where RB hobbyists desire to make some happiness out of specials regardless of the provider essentially upselling agendas!

love on the other hand is like reciting rosaries for your passions! sacrificing self worth by blaming the sinner (usually the one asking for more). Reference the emotional reaction of Pride and Prejudice when reading. for the desired effect compare Sister Mary Margret doing her passions.

must have been something good for Captain Von Trapp's Joolies!
