Romance, That Becomes Your Lifestyle

Romance is a nebulous thing with the curious property of being describable but not definable. I won't muck with your head and try to suggest there's an ultimate definitive definition out there. Some people will try to do just that and come up with some tidy little definition, like, "Romance is showing you care." Sure, it sounds good at first, but although draping your coat over a puddle and asking if she remembered to brush her teeth that morning may be actions triggered by this same motivation, they rate distinctly differently on the romance scale. Although it's not so much a definition, as it is no more precise than the word "romance" itself, one way to describe romance succinctly is "what women want out of a relationship." In other words, men aren't romantic and if you're a man, that's why you need this guide. Although a moment of romance can be created for the effect of special attention, how wondrous would it be if that moment never ended? When romance between two lovers has gone from being "a created moment" (intrinsic) to being a "lifestyle" (innately selfless), the relationship has transformed into the stuff that dreams are made of. If you're a woman, of course, you were born with an innate capacity to be utterly selfless.
