What Is Romance?

Let's get back to the Greek

I feel that you may need to go back to the Greek idea of Eros, Agape and all that to get a handle on what is romance

Personally, I feel that a truly romantic relationship has aspects of eros and agape, with some pragma thrown in, but that the mix is always changing.

Hi TheLimey, thanks for posting that article, that helps. In rough terms, romance seems to center around eros, but has bits and pieces of the other kinds of love. Friendship on the other hand seems to be mostly centered around philia.
