i don't know if this is true or not but I happen to know someone who's like that and she's been single for a long, long time...And when I look at other people I know and who are in a relationship; they possess none of that.
Do you think there may be some truth to what I stated above?
thanx...

Many romantic & passionate people are still single because they're less likely to settle. They will search for their true soulmate. Harder to find but worth the wait. People who aren't romantic get married for other reasons (afraid to be alone, companionship, convenience, financial reasons etc etc). Those of us who still believe in true love treat marriage with more reverence & don't rush into it. Look at the divorce rate! The world needs more single romantics!
Just my opinion! What do I know?

It could very well be that they are romantic, passionate people on the surface, but turn out to be jerks once you get to know them. One of my friends says she had a boyfriend who turned out that way. Another possibility is that the person in question views love and romance as a game; getting and romanticizing another person primarily for sport. Once commitment becomes an issue they drop everything to find someone else to sweep off their feet. They just get caught up in the game of love and the novelty and sport in dating wears off so they look for someone else to start the game over with.

You can be romantic and passionate, yet fiercely independent at the same time. Sometimes this causes problems in a relationship. One person wants their presence to be needed while the other person only wants them (not good enough in the other person's mind). Personally, I think it's better to be wanted rather than needed. Want shows choice while need leaves no choice.

There is a lot of truth in what you say.
But the reason is really not far to seek. Who believes marriage has anything to do with continued romance or passion? Marriage is basically the reining in of passion and romance in order to achieve security and fulfil social obligations.

Its simple.
The people who are the most romantic and passionate are also the most out of touch with REALITY.
Singleness helps them to maintain their illusions of romance and passion
Couplehood would surely require the shattering of any such illusions.
The exceptions to my argument are like diamonds. Beautiful and rare.

There's some truth in what you say. Your romantic and passionate freind may find the grubby boring bits of real relationships don't really fit in with her ideals about relationships.

I know someone like that...It's because he always comes on way to strong in relationships, they need time to get to a deep level, it scares people when someone is deep in love by the first week

um..why arent you with her ?
could it be that she is being romantic and passionate in all the wrong ways ?
what is your definition of romantic and passionate ?
to someone that's passion to others that's just plain weird

Since your friend is so romantic, I'm sure she is waiting for the right person to be with. =) You don't worry about her, her knight in shining armor will come!
