Practicality vs. true love

Yes it depends on the person some are too busy to even think about romance, but thats not to say that somewhere in their lives they dismiss it altogether. Somewhere in their heart of hearts they feel what was given to us as a gift and that is LOVE. When they are alone and has calm down from all the riff-raff I think they may come to their awareness that they too need and want those loving moments thats given when you love someone. I just can't believe that some people want to admit that romance is out of the question. Romance is something that makes you feel good and loved and special. I hate to compare but it's like you've been given a promotion on the job-something that you want. I have no problem with romance,love. I enbrace all that is good for me. You know some people think that being romantic is being weak. Now how they got that I couldn't tell you. Some try to play hard, like they don't need romance. How can you have love and no romance, just a little romance.

I want romance in a relationship! that's what makes the sparks fly when you are attracted to each other. I won't settle for less then what I want either and have been divorced 30 years....I'd rather have what I want and be alone in stead of "settling". If there is no romance then I might just as well go out and kiss the garbage man when he picks up my trash! LOL

Maybe in some cases romance does fade with time but true love can never fade.And as long as true love is there romance will always be alive in that relationship.I have seen such romantic old couples.They make such a cute romantic pair even in their old age!I would agree that if you find that initial bond then the rest will follow automatically :)

I still believe that true love is still the best to follow than practicality. Sometimes being too much practical in life could lead to be unhappy since you only use your mental mind and not your heart. What really makes us happy is what our hearts provide that what our minds give. Being to mental about things can sometimes blur your real intention and your being human. It only provides you with what your basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. But we as humans have that extra need called love and that separates us from other beings on this earth. For that we should appreciate it more than ever as they are the ones that really differentiate us from all forms of life here.

The real story begins just then.I don't believe in 'lived happily forever after...'. Some how we get misguided by the pulp movies.

one rule in life is to go where you'll be happy..

I think human nature is such a complicated beings that you basically have to try and get it all. It is a very hard thing to do anyway as we all keep changing in life and sometimes we tend to take different roads in life, I guess when you fall in love there is a lot of hope involved that with all that life has to throw at us, all the temptations that we choose someone we can be happy with each other even after time does change things for us....it is a gamble no matter what.

I don't think I could mix romance with marriage. I can have either one or the other. I can see being in love and wanting to spend the rest of my life with someone but not if they are married. On the other hand, marriage is a contract that has very little to do with love, it is obligation. I can see having romantic feelings for someone you like as a friend too.But I can also see feeling secure and having something in common but having no romantic feelings whatsoever.Or feeling romantic towards a person but you too don't have anything in common.can you have it all? I guess so.

Its a balance of both for me. They say follow your heart but ill add in it, Just think wisely and at the same time follow your heart. The best thing to do is to pray, pray and pray. Only God can help you with it.. Good day

I really think that friendship and loyalty, shared goals and security....mutual respect are all very important aspects of any relationship. In order to make it special and take it beyond the "friendship level", I think that romance is important. I think it is so important that those that are in such a relationship should pay special attention so as not to let their relationship drop back down to that comfortable, friendship zone. I think it is important for both to keep the romance alive. The romance is what sets your "love" apart from "friendship". Too many take it for granted not realizing that just what attracted you to each other is what will hold you together. they get comfortable and take each other for granted. You have to work to keep it alive. Of course it will get more comfortable but it doesn't have to get dull.

Im a victim of praticicality and ive realised it the hard way that its not such a good thing to be too practical in life i think we shoud give our hearts a chance as well rather than using only our brains. True Love wont pass you by always..i dont think loves there to come n go but the memories of those we truely love are there to stay forever.Find love and take time to enhance your relationship nad make that last forever.
