Indeed, any true romantic love must always contain friendship. Afterall, romantic love is just a further extent of friendly love. Perhaps there is some that breaks those bounds, but only in the beginning, if friendship is not found at some point, then the love will lose all feeling until it is no longer love at all. I've always felt the same way. I am not against sex without love, I actually promote it so long as it is done in a responsible manner. But personally I don't know if I could ever do it, I would have to share some feeling of love with the person, otherwise to me it would seem meaningless. I guess that is what I get for spending my entire life thinking about true romance and love. Although I even consider myself fairly sexual, when it comes to romance I could even deal without the sex, so long as there was a connection. If I am stimulated mentally and spiritually, my physical body needs little. Although there would need to be some physical connection manifested through at least cuddles and the like. I am a very withdrawn person to most people, but when there are those I feel close with I enjoy physical contact in many forms. What would we be if we did not have the touch of another to feel? That stimulation is very powerful, and it is why we remain social animals.

Sometimes I think it would be best if we were not such social animals.
I've spent far to much of my time with my nose buried in the works of Renaissance poets that it's lead me to shape expectations that will never be met. Ah well...
But we should all remain hopeful romantics!!

Perhaps we are overly social. It wouldn't be such a band thing, but the problem with having social contact is the more you have of it, the less self-reliant you tend to be. Unless you have that as an unshakable core value of course. There are always some exceptions. Haha, I know that feeling all-too-well. I do wonder what has happened to romance though. It seems it has taken a turn for the worse. Then again that goes back to overly high expectations and the exploitation of romantic concepts. Just like every other paradox, only when romance once again becomes a mystery will it be had.

High hopes and expectation can be fullfilled. When least expected. Changing your hopes and expectations. Shaping hopes and casting in the fog expectations. Romance come in form you have never imagined, leaving romanticism and its literature in a corner ashamed. The best love poems are not written yet,they're carved in our heart. They make us kiss the morning dew, smiling at the sun while exploding with joy...

They make us kiss the morning dew, smiling at the sun while exploding with joy... That's such a beautiful way to think on it! But one must ask, at what point -- if ever -- do you simply give up on finding that connection? Should you keep soldiering on in the trenches of heartache or opt to be a hermit, cold and callous, alone in the foothills -- or the crazy cat lady up the road! I would think, more often than not, it is better to hold on to that hope even though each time your heart is broken it can be more devastating then the last. The romantic soul must hold on to the dream that one day someone truly special will come along and perhaps, as stated above, "when least expected." But time can be cruel and waiting a terrible torture. This modern world can easily make a person very disheartened and bitter, especially when one already feels misplaced in time. The range of emotions springing from love does paint the world a wonderful range of colours though!

One gives up searching that connection when he/she finds it ;D It's easy and natural to yearn, to long for that special thing, to be in love with the idea of Love...but when it happens to you, everything you thought is changed...in time you discover that it changed you! Ye can trust me on that yeah,maybe some take more time to find that connection,but it will happen to all in the end.. Oh! And those feeling make you say things like ,kissing the morning dew" ,,Who loves raves!"

I came across this Aristotle quote the other day and thought it was really touching and truthful: "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." That's lovely, and can apply to more then just romantic love as well.

That's indeed a quote which illustrates a true state of things.... And of course, it has to do with friendship too. And we here on the forum form a big fat soul, a huge circuitry fed with Kewl Korpi'sh Muse'ique Sorry if l went off topic a bit,but I listen Kk so..... \m/

I am currently in awe of this girl I go to school with. She is extremely intelligent, likes/understands my geeky jokes (our humour is very similar ), lovely-looking AND she plays the guitar! Can you get any better than that? Now yesterday, two friends of mine were talking about me and ehr loudly right in front of her. She's not stupid. She'll work it out. I don't believe now ifs the right time for her to learn of that! Idiots we shall see what happens lol

Often times women, and men I would think, have a terrible way of overlooking when someone is in love with them. It can be very obvious to everyone around them, but for some reason it just isn't seen by them until they are told outright. Kirki: If I may be so bold, you should just say something to her! Even if it is just a small hint!

Can you get any better than that? You're a lucky guy, so grab the initiative in your hands, and heathen gods of love, beer and freedom will certainly help you!

Grab her Kirki, grab her! In a metaphorical way, not in the way that'll get you a kick where the sun don't shine of course. Such women are truly very hard to find these days, especially in close proximity! I think my entire life I have been in love with women who lived too far away, and it continues to remain so. Or the ones that live close I never get to see, or it has already been too late. No matter what it has always been quite heartbreaking. So certainly don't let that oppurtunity pass by, work your magic, brother.

@ Kirki, but come to think of it, @ everyone in this thread:
There's a saying that I live by, and it goes like this... Better do it and regret it, than not do it and regret it!
For all the missed opportunities that we've had to take the initiatives and see where they would lead - don't let anything in life pass you by. You're gonna regret it no matter what, so at least have something awesome to regret about! ;D Then you can't blame yourself for not trying.
