Romance is a façade and an illusion.

Romantic love is a form of mental illness and as a result, it distorts reality. That is the purpose of it, since it would be impossible to actually love another person romantically, blindly and unconditionally that you were actually able to see for who they really were. Hence the neuro-chemicals when 'in love' distorting reality and/or having the same effect as a drug that distorts reality.

A façade and an illusion, that due to early biology and evolutionary reasons, draws two people together long enough to fall in love, experience infatuation and lust so that mating can occur and the species continues on. At that point, once a dependent human (child) is born and both parties involved in the cosmic joke played on them by their own bodies and desires are no longer capable of maintaining the façade and illusion, traditionally would stay together for the sake of the new entity (child) that they created and primary for the sake of the child's survival.

However, due to advancements in technology and civilization, mere survival in terms of securing shelter, food and other resources as in primitive times has changed and both mating parties that create new life can sustain their own lives and that of the child without actually being together. So the long term needs for both the male and female to stay together for a sustained period of time for the sake of the dependent child are now obsolete.

There's a feeling I've felt which I associate with the word romance or love. However, I don't know how to differentiate it from everyday feelings of lust or friendship. I guess that when you find someone sexually attractive and fun to hang out with you call that being "in love." Blah.

The feeling of being 'in love' can also be addicting and in terms of neuro chemicals and endorphins, it mimics the physiological effects of some drugs.

From my own experience, clitoral cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Pupplys. Romance is not dead.

The man who walks on the road side, proffers his jacket, against the cold, holds your hand to cross the gutter, he pulls your fingeres forward so he can animate them with his breath...
.
If your not getting something like that then your loss
