You can be romantically interested in someone and love them and still, I think, be really interested in things and a certain lifestyle that person might provide.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.
We go on dates thinking that person is our future husband or wife, without getting to know them, as we live in a fantasy and an illusion of romance.
I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation: it's a calling. You have an inner intuition, an inner 'yes.' I don't know if it's destined or not, but certainly I couldn't imagine being the person I am today without the romantic experiences I've had.
Being attracted to someone plays a big part, but there's also so much more than that for me. It's about finding someone sweet and kind - and that has a servant's heart.
When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.
At any given time, no matter how deeply you are in love with one person, they're appealing to a very specific side of you.
Personally, I find it romantic not to be with someone all the time; you don't get used to someone or take them for granted.
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
