What is Romance?

Romance, a word that conjures up all sorts of images and feelings. But what exactly is romance? Is it an emotion or a physical act? One could argue that it is both and if you asked 100 different people you would get 100 different answers. You could say it is a state of mind brought about by someone else's actions. One thing we do know is it is a good thing. Whether you are being romanced or doing the romancing the feelings it entails are ones of caring, sharing, love and general well being.

Now the question becomes, why are some people better at romance than others? And here's the catch. Women, who for the most part like to be romanced have to rely on men to do the romancing. And we all know that this can create problems. A mans idea of romance is usually different than what women have in mind. That's not to say that all men are lacking in the romance department, some men are very good at it. But this is usually the exception and not the rule.

So what's a guy to do? Luckily for guys there are an abundance of resources across the web that can help you. And the best part is that some of the guys who have learned how to be the ultimate romantics have shared their wisdom with those of us less fortunate in the romance department. They have taken the time to not only learn through trial and error but also ask women what exactly it is they find to be romantic in a man. And it may not be what you think.

Romance is only as difficult as you make it. The simplest things can be the most romantic to that special someone. You can also go all out and plan that romantic rendezvous, but don't think you always need to pull out all the stops. Small or large, romance is what you put of yourself into it to let your significant other know that you are thinking of them. And maybe in the end that's what romance is.
