Sir Henry Part 1

Romance and romantic love encompass a number of ideas about love, which are interrelated for historical and cultural reasons:passionate feelings of attraction—a mental state of "being in love", with focused attention (salience) towards a specific individual for courtship or pair bonding; the cultural practice or idealization of initiating intimate relationships for feelings like these, over more practical or ordinary concerns; a relationship or love affair initiated or maintained this way, which may be premarital or absent a commitment; and a love story involving these elements.
