I think I've finally realized what 'dating' is.

'Making regular, semi-ritualized appointments to have sex'.

Dating, for people who do not have sex, generally means hanging out and getting to know each other. It's not very different than being friends, except you have the intention of one day having a romantic relationship. Or at least that's how I use it.

That's simple enough. One things.
But then tell me what romance is?

That...gets a little more tricky.

For me...romance is...a lot more difficult to put into words than I thought. Feelings of wanting to share your life with that person, I suppose. In both a sexual and an emotional way.

The last sentence is kinda incompatible with everything else...?
Or is that a definition for everyone? 'Cause I'd say "emotional and/or sexual way". To be more inclusive.
