What is a romantic relationship?
Romantic relationship means the two people involved are intimate with each other (emotional closeness) and commitment is the only thing that can turn that romance or intimacy into something real.
Being in a romantic relationship does not necessarily mean that the two people MUST involve in sexual activities, rather it means a relationship where the love that is expressed is felt by the two lovers. If it is felt by one, it is an abuse and also not a relationship. A relationship is just like a ship willing to take you on a ride. If it is just you, you are not in a relationship.
Most people think being in a romantic relationship is about touching and kissing. As much as that could be enticing and ready to be explored, it can also mar that relationship especially when it has not been defined and the feeling is not mutual. What comes from the heart touches the heart. Romance is of the heart, where your attention is focused and who fills up space in your heart.
These days, with high expectations due to Nollywood movies, most people have changed the idea of a romantic relationship to expensive dinner. If it is not expensive, then he or she is not romantic. It is a shallow way to think and most people think this way because they want acceptance from others who have enjoyed such before.
