Romance is the expressive and pleasurable feeling from an emotional attraction towards another person associated with love.
In the context of romantic love relationships, romance usually
implies an expression of one's strong romantic love, or one's deep and strong
emotional desires to connect with another person intimately or romantically.
Historically, the term "romance" originates with the medieval ideal of chivalry as set out in its Romance literature.
Romantic love is contrasted with platonic
love, which in all usages, precludes sexual relations, yet only in the
modern usage does it take on a fully asexual sense, rather than the classical sense in
which sexual drives are sublimated. Sublimation tends to be forgotten in casual thought about
love aside from its emergence in psychoanalysis and Nietzsche
Unrequited
love can be
romantic in different ways: comic, tragic, or in the sense that sublimation
itself is comparable to romance, where the spirituality of both art and
egalitarian ideals is combined with strong character and emotions. Unrequited
love is typical of the period of romanticism, but the
term is distinct from any romance that might arise within it.
Romantic love may also be classified according to two categories,
"popular romance" and "divine or spiritual" romance.
