Being simply romantic leads to loneliness. It goes well with loneliness. Rationality is needed to be able to have a relationship. Do you agree?

I see many very romantic people who feel lonely, not understood...some go as deep as to kill themselves because they have so much love, they are all love and nobody is able to understand them.
Fully romantics don't survive...i think.

No?drinking

I think toooooooo much love can be quite irritating. Life is not all love .. theres got to be some fun , some fighting and arguing , some crying and making up , some bitter sweet memories .. it cant be all love.

Yup .. Rationality is needed to make the relationship survive and last. With age and time , our views change , our wishes and needs change . Love is essential but is not all that is needed.

A little bit of common sense , tolerance and rationale with love goes a long way, i think.

Soooo all love is like Romeo stuck in the romeo act for life .. blues laugh

When Romanticism is matched with Realism and humor then relationships can happen, but pure idealistic Romanticism is in most instances not going to last in the world we live in. For one thing most of those "romantic urges" is a chemical reaction lol and that only last for about a year and a half. Good news is that once people have been together for a while that a similar chemical reaction although not as intense is going on in those long term relationships. I learned that the hard way when I got divorced about a year ago. I felt shredded by the time it was over as many others out there have too.
Full Romantics although a great ideal personally need to not take themselves so seriously lol. Life is too precious to end it even when love has gone. There is always hope that down the road someone will come along. JMO

I think there is a difference between being a romantic and performing romantic acts.

In the first case, the idea of love seems to be as important if not more so, than actually being in love. In the second, it is simply a way of demonstrating your thoughfulness for another person through words, gestures and acts of love.

I have occassionally wondered if the endless romantic remains that way as a way of denying reality and the hard work that a long term relationship really takes.

I'm not referring to the people that inject a little romance in the relationship on occassion, but more the ones who think life and love is an endless love poem. The folks who are wonderful in the begininning of a relationship, sending flowers and poems, holding hands, stealing kisses can also be the ones who bolt very quickly as soon as real life creeps in, like unexpected deliveries, overdue bills, lost jobs etc.

Skeptical, pessimist or...laugh

Reality is simply hard work? Romantism has its timing? Is that it? Like romantism or its cause (being in love) is a fantasy?

I agree with you on that. Also, most men who have gone to ridiculous extremes on first dates, have in a similar way, left my mind, after we break up. I get over them fast! Most were just show offs and desperate. The 'overly eager, i can over-do it/her/him grin' syndrome they had, rubbed off on me quite well. They are mainly in the relationship to prove something to themselves. It has nothing to do with 'you'.

that



Have you met guys who ask you to go out hopping in the garden dance, declaring your loyalty to each other, on first dates? laugh

I prefer meeting in places i can interrogatedetective a man without flowery distractions. *I'm allergic to pollen, too* sick grin

With serial killers on the lose, you can never be too careful.

I am not skeptical in that I believe romance can "feel" real and sincere. But I am a pessimist because I have yet to see it last. It is usually most present in the beginning of a relationship, and usually absent in the later states. Perhaps that is its true purpose, to coax one in to falling in love until the relationship is deep enough to be self sustained. Some folks just take it to the extreme and for the wrong reasons.

Reality can be tough, and that's often when you find out just how strong the love is. If it is just a romantic fantasy, it evaporates quickly.
