where does one go for romance I think it just has to happen. You can't really look for romance. But if you are a romantic type person, then it will happen, one way or another.

as we express our gratitude,
we must never forget
that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words
but to live by them

they will drag you down to their level,

Being the cynic I am, romance I see as a delusion Mr. Dirty. It doesn't exist. Whatever perceptions we may have or see as romance, is still only fleeting. It is about image of self and not selflessness.

Yes, who am I to ruin your sweet and lovely delusion of romance Mr. Dirty. It is all imagination, as long as we keep it real too.... Albert Einstein, of all people, said that imagination is more important than knowledge. I love that he said that. Of course, it eventually will become necessary to deal with certain realities. But, I still make it fun. I hate mopping the floors - hate hate hate that household thing that you have to do on at least a semi-regular basis. Cut to the chase, I found a way to make mopping the floors fun. First off, the kitchen floor is marble, so it's okay. I pour a pot of boiling + couple squirts of dishwashing soap - on the kitchen floor, usually I can cover about half of it with this first pot of water. But it does a a good job of covering a certain area and getting to the parts that really need to be cleaned. I wait about two minutes, then put a bath towel down on the part of the floor that has water and I step on the towel and then I just bust a move! I can dance on the towel and vary my dance moves (I was listening to Connie Francis' "Bossa Nova Hand Dance" while doing this. FYI... BNHD is a GREAT song to have playing when you are cleaning your house!!  ) This took about 2-3 minutes to get the floor but good. Then I repeated same and got the other half of the floor. More shimmying ensued. I was getting a kick out of it and from beginning to end, it took a total of 20 minutes. And the floor looked, I would say, 88% better, so it was a win-win for me. This is how I will clean the floors from now on. When my roommate walked in, he noticed the floor immediately. Yay! It's all about finding your own way.

I usually do my floor the same way, with a towel rather than a mop. I may not look as fabulous as you though when doing it Mr. D.... 
Yes, imagination is key and this is what gives way to creativity. Even this delusion of romance can be creative, but I feel so many young people, females in particular, seem to hold onto this delusion as though romance is something to live for, or even perhaps something they feel they are entitled too. They want to be wooed and wined and dined. It makes it about the external and the identification of ego self. When the babies come and the sleepless nights and the poo loaded diapers, and the bed farts, the romantic notions will soon fade. It doesn't exist.
Here is a  for you anyway Mr. Dirty.

saying my feelings
aloud
can often give me
catharsis
and remind me
