In Search of Romance

The Websters definition below explains why it is so hard to find

1 a
(1): a medieval tale based on legend, chivalric love and adventure, or the supernatural
2 something (as an extravagant story or account) that lacks basis in fact

Since the definition of romance changes by whom you are asking, the chance that you will feel it and then capture it seems like a futile task.

I feel sorry for the man in my life who tries to decipher its meaning only to find out we are speaking different languages. Romance is an idea, its in your mind it is not physical. While romance can certainly lead to physical culmination, it is by itself, not romance.
My Romance requires thought about the other person and an element of surprise. My Romance can be as simple as completing a honey do list in the first attempt to actually putting away your laundry. My Romance is focused on the future and not something that I have to plan myself. My romance generally does not involve NASCAR, however a live sporting event with a foam finger might just fit the bill if the mood is right. It is important to note that the man in my life would like me to mention that he should get points for trying. When they award points for trying in of the various sporting events he is a fan of I will consider it. Until then we are entering spring training camp. Practice, Practice, Practice

Maybe I am just expecting the supernatural!
