What is romance to you?

Really connecting with a person. Knowing a person's inside and outs. I think what I would call my most romantic thing lately was simply me and my partner talking about our lives at 4 am, simply lying next to one another. Its those small moments that stick with you.

Romance is that exciting feeling you get when you know the love of your life is getting home.When you finish each others sentences.When you can look in each others eyes and know exactly what they want.Especially that look.Lol..
My most romantic experience was when I hooked up with this girl back in the day.I was at this girls house who I knew from the neighborhood.My friends and I were there hanging out.I heard her on the phone talking to someone.Next thing I know,this girl walks in the house and my friend,the girl who I was visiting,introduces this new girl to me.She told me her name and shook my hand.At that moment(I'm actually tearing up right now as I am typing this)I felt this warmth come over me.Like a bolt of lightning.They both walked into the kitchen and as they walked away I told my friends that she would be mine.They just laughed and looked at me funny.I said it so serious like I knew it in my heart.
Well,we were all there hanging out and later on like about an hour later,the new girl said she was leaving.She asked my friends and I if we needed a ride home.My friends said yes right away ,but I played hard to get and said no,it's ok.She looked at me and said,"do you need one or not because i'm leaving." At that moment I knew she wanted me too.I said ok,shotgun.Lol... So I climbed in the front next to her and we drove off.She asked, "which way do I go", so I said just get on the highway.We drove on for a long time and she kept asking which way.I finally directed her to this strip where us teenagers used to hang out on saturdays.It is called Military drive.All the people with cool cars would cruise the strip.We ended up there.We cruised and parked for hours.I made my move and held her hand.She let me and I was happy.
Well after many hours together on the strip we decided to let her take us home for real this time.I was staying with my friend and he was in the process of moving.The house was empty.We arrived and my friends got off, but me and this girl stayed in the car.We were talking.We kept looking into each others eyes the whole time.She climbed on my lap and we began to kiss. I asked her if she wanted to get off for a while.She said yes.My friends wanted to go pick up their girls, so this new girl I was with said "here,take my car." So they said sure.They split and I and this girl stayed together all night.It was beautiful! Finally at about 5 am she was getting ready to leave.We held each other outside for about an hour until the sun was coming up.It was about 6 am now.She finally got in her car and drove off but we kept looking at each other.We did not want to leave each other.
She called me that same day after she got off of work and invited me over her house.We could not leave each others site.We became an item and ever since that day we never were apart.I ended up marrying her and having beautiful children with her.That was over 22 years ago.My heart is swelling up and I have fat throat with tears in my eyes as I type this.To me that is romance.
Ps.Every anniversary I will stay up until 12 am just to tell her happy anniversary before she can.She always says, "you got me again."

Well, the "most romantic experience of my life" has been my entire 7 1/2 year ongoing relationship with Moonwater. ^_^
As for what romance is to me, it's pretty much anything to do with a certain type of relationship between two or more people, involving a higher degree of intimacy than others. Ideally no secrets are kept, problems are confided in, and no topic, personal or otherwise, is taboo to talk about. In essence, the people involved share identities; the one informs and reinforces the other.
This may or may not include physical elements (such as sex).

I find romance in the quiet moments with my partner. The little moments when we really seem to connect. Small things. A sweet kiss he gives me, or a slight touch.
Last year I bought a small plastic Christmas tree for his studio flat. When he entered he was so surprised and happy he hugged me tight, and we kissed. It wasn't so much about the Christmas tree, it meant more.

Romance is an illusion, a lie, made up by our own egos to make our lives better.
That being said the most romantic feeling I ever had was when I met someone I really loved and had been with for years, but wasn't with anymore for a couple of years. I had bumped into her for 5 minutes and we took some pictures and said goodbye, but while I took her picture I fell in love with her all over again. It was surreal.
I never saw her again.

Very post-modern. Of course you can view romance as a social construct. That however doesn't mean it's not real or relevant. Of course, I'm not saying that that's what you were implying.
Romance is like laying in the soft early summer grass comforted by the sun's gentle warmth while watching the sunset against a tapestry of cloud's.
But every moment you are with the person you are romancing.
Considering the fact that calling something an "illusion" or a "lie" carries a negative connotation, I wonder if it can be wholly accurate to paint something that "makes our lives better" with such negativity.
Besides, I don't think it's a lie at all. It's an aspect of who we are. I can't say if it's cultural or inherent to our species, but either way, I don't consider such things lies.

I suppose I should clarify what I meant by a lie. Romance is like God, it's an abstract force, the latter is as an external force, while the former is internal.
We have been fed to believe that romance is this beautiful thing, that will fulfill us internally, just as we are fed to believe that God fulfills us externally. But there is neither, in the end we create our own fulfillment.

Romance is a special kind of connection that is hard to describe with words. Its attraction and excitement at being in their company. Its love and/or deep like. Its bonding through emotional and intellectual sharing and connection.
The most romantic experience I ever had was the whole first month of knowing my girlfriend. We took things slow, we learnt about each other and connected in ways I never had with another person before and it was a month before we went on a date. I will never forget that first date either, so much fun, so much attraction and even then we were not in a rush to get it on. We were just focused on each other.

To me? Fond memories.
I recognize that most of the people to have ever existed lived in loveless marriages for various reasons.
And I wonder if my youth is tied to stronger feelings of love being old.
But in general, love is that neuro-chemical reaction to someone until the flaws catch up.
I haven't been in love in a bit, so I honestly don't know. I certainly hope for something nice, but ya never know.
I saw an ex-lover not to long ago, for whom emotional attachment is not there, but after an afternoon, it felt like all the motions rushed back. It's sort of frighteningly deep in the psyche, past the active thoughts of a person.

Playing video games with the one I love...
Hmm... that anime girl was so hot...
What if the one you love hates video games which is actually my case?
