What Makes A Romance?
I have been thinking about this all day...What makes a romance? Does it take a man and a woman? Or can it be between two women or two men? Is it having a bride and a groom at a wedding, or can it be having two brides or two grooms?
I first questioned this when I was five years old. I remember asking my mother what was so wrong with two girls wanting to get married. Remember, this was 1993. People were appalled at this point because Roseanne Barr had kissed a girl on TV! My mothers answer was simple "that is inappropriate honey!" She told me. I never asked her about it again.
I remember thinking about how I wanted to be the prince that rescued the princess. I wanted to take care of her and be the main provider so to speak. I have never had a longing to be taken care of, although I do love to be cuddled when I am dating someone...and dinner getting paid for can be nice! lol.
I would never change my gender; I am a girl who likes girls...I am used to it! But in a wedding ceremony, I don't know if I would want to wear the dress or the suit or heck, we could both have dresses I guess! :) It doesn't matter to me! As long as we have love and the same morals and values and beliefs. And yes, I would convert for the love of my life! Not only would I convert, I would move!
I think that the one thing that makes a romance is love. Over the years, we have seen so many different kinds of romances. We have seen young couples "in love" (more like in lust if you ask me!) we have seen older people get back together over and over, (the late Farrah Fawcett and her on and off again boyfriend Ryan O'Niel) all kinds of relationships.
Its funny; they are all romantic in their own ways! With each one, people were placed in the right situation at the right time to meet each other and fall in love. All things worth having take time, and often, romances do too. It doesn't just happen overnight...You two get to know each other, grow together and then it happens! I mean, two people can look at each other and feel love and longing and know that they are meant to be, but you still have to get to know each other before you can spend a lifetime together.
How many of us have fallen for our best friend? That one girl that we met in kindergarten or elementary school, the one that we played with and hung out with our whole lives? I know that I fell for my best friend from jr. high and high school. I will never forget her! There was always that part of me that wanted her to love me too, that wanted her to be mine...all mine! But there was always that part of me that KNEW she would never fully be mine. I knew that one day she would get married to a man, and they would have children, and then grow old together, and a part of me got over her when I wrapped my head around that. I wanted her happyness, and I didn't want to lose her friendship! But another part of me does wish that I had gotten the courage to tell her how I felt, because honestly, I know she would have been up for experimenting!
I skipped that part of life; experimenting! I did have a few make out sessions with guys and my one amazing girl kiss, but nothing too spectacular! I guess I am too afraid of getting AIDS or pregnant. When BOTH of those are not factors, I am all for it and I will be more than glad to have SEX! Yep!!! Sex!!! Your blushing now...mwahaha!!! Or maybe not...lol. That word is funny. I am a virgin, and I am such a romantic...I just want to give myself to my future spouse completely...But...If someone and I were together long enough...Well...Who knows what would happen!
I hope you enjoyed that! lol.
