Romance is important, but to have a friend you can use as a mirror, who can give you an objective response, that's what's really important.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In romance, we feel the need to zoom in and expound on our partner's foibles in intimate detail; in friendship, we tend to do the opposite, avoiding confrontation through fear, lethargy or both.
Romance focuses on emotions and on relationships, both of which are fundamentally important to women.
Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what's right, and generally it's something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers.
Romance is important to me, and to have a romance with your husband takes a bit of doing. The key is to make sure your partner misses you. That means you have to take yourself away.
Sadly, people think a guy and a girl can't be friends without something romantic going on.
I don't get a whole lot out of the romance thing, but I realize girls do. So I'll go out of my way to make them feel romanced.
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
I'm not real good at romance.
Love is a great emotion, but I believe it's not just about romance; it could be love for nature, people, for relationships.
I have a skepticism toward romance. I believe that decency and companionship are, in the long run, more important in life.
