Did Jesus ever engage in romance?

Jesus was human, part of being human is romantic attachment, it seems to me that it is more likely he engaged in romantic attachement than he did not.

I disagree that the life of a human is not fundamentally tied to love, romance or sex, those things are a fundamental part of our nature.

There are those humans who do not engage in such things, but they are a very small percentage of the total.

But then, what would be the point of doing this? Wasn't the whole idea of jesus that he came to experience human life? Isn't that largely invalidated if the life he chose to live was an strongly abnormal one?

There wouldn't be a point to it if the goal was to be involved in a romantic or sexual relationship.

That's not even close to the only point in life though and especially if one knows their time may be limited or meant to have another point.

The purpose of Jesus coming was not that he could experience human life. His experience as a human automatically provided this experience. However, that doesn't mean he was supposed to mimic the human experience since that would have no point to it and especially since sex is in no way a need for survival or happiness of the individual.
