So, I've been talking with several people lately, some friends, some class mates, and from what I hear, romance is dead. And it's always women I hear say that. Some say that it never existed and is just something for the books, some have said that it's something of the past. Although, the people I've heard say it are usually in a long-term relationship who seem to have resigned themselves to the fact that THEY will never get romance in their relationship but are not going to be ending their relationship. They've convinced themselves that romance is a pipe-dream and doesn't really exist because it doesn't, and will never, exist for them. If romance truly existed, but doesn't for them, then they feel bad about their relationship. If romance doesn't exist for anyone, then it's not bad that they don't have it in their relationship.
Did that sum it up?
Well, to those women who believe that romance is dead, you're right! And to those who feel that romance is NOT dead, you're right!
But I'm going to say that it's only partially your fault. But not in the same way as it is ours.
