What exactly is romance ?

Question

It's not only between the man and the woman, is it ?
I like to think its more between the human and the world itself.

Am I getting through ?

Please, share your philosophical view on romance with my self.

Answer 1

You ask, 'What is passion?'

Passion is undefinable, unimaginable, infinite, otherworldly. It is the one truly unique characteristic of man.
That's like trying to define someone's personality...no two are the same.

So many words relate: seduction, intimacy, privacy, sensuality, personality.

I would probably define your 'romance' as personal happiness or enlightenment that evolves from interactivity, usu. between two or more people.

It's romantic to be up at dawn to photograph by the new light. It's very romantic to build, by hand, a new hot rock for her pet python. It's very romantic to be in a tent, alone with her, listening to the night, when a car shows up, and you can hear a couple talking, and making love, and then driving away, and they never saw you. On bikes, you don't park. It's romantic to have a woman collegue turn off the elevator between floors, and ask'howcan I get to know you better'.
