Romance Suck(er)s!

ANTO COMETA

For a very good friend who inspired me because of what she wrote in her blog…

Would you rather not aim for something ideal or something that can make you smile every time you (would) remember episodes that are deviations from the normal routine of that someone?

Reality can be quite devastating particularly in most relationships which just end in the trash bin. Most people would rather not remember at all considering that recollections of that certain person even if it’s considered as delightful (not in the sexual connotation of the word) brings agonizing memories which would eventually set off bad vibes that could ruin the day.

For those who haven’t experienced such it is something to aim or look forward to if ever that someone would arrive. Hopefuls (or hope-fools which ever is the case) that more often than not create their own (fairy tale) scenes of passionate and romantic devotion to each other.

As for those who are just not so into those stuff since their lives revolve around themselves and how they would survive the dog-eat-dog world coupled with some tragic-paranoia-conspiracy theory views on people surrounding them, these dealings are just lavish and wasteful acts to perform.

Generally speaking, these alleged romantic actions are either done at the courtship phase or at the onset of the relationship, worse not at all – just pure engagement in lustful and sexual acts. Sometimes it also depends how the person perceives a certain action to label it as such. Romantic actions generates a certain feeling of euphoria even if it’s just for a very, very short period which is the primary reason why most people seek to come into contact with (ala meeting the ET ang dating).

Given that you are in a relationship or you would be (or wanted however fate doesn’t allow you to), would you not want to experience one or do something (for reciprocity’s sake) for that someone?

It could be something quite extraordinary or just something not far from the usual, but it boils down to making someone feel that their very special in your life even for just a moment.

Naisip ko lang... the absence of romance after the courtship phase may just be one of the reasons why a relationship fails. You're right, majority prefers to engage in just pure lustful and sexual acts. At the end of the day, however, people who choose to also "make love" and not just have sex have longer or fortunately for some, lifetime relationships.

And by the way, those romantic gestures that I've written in my blog were carried out long after the courtship stage. The only reason why those relationships ended was because I (finally) allowed my head to rule over my heart. (I think you know now what I mean.)

Thanks for giving me a new perspective on this thing called romance. Yeah, it sometimes sucks. But then, I'd still forever agree with what you've said in your last paragraph. ü
