What some may think of as romantic may not seem romantic to someone else but there is a lot of romance in real life imo. 
For me romance isn't just a box of chocolates, a bottle of wine or some flowers. It can be so much more for very little.
The most romantic thing I think of in my life was taking one of the kids one a week long school camp where we stayed on a farm, went tramping for hours with the kids and slept in tents with basic cooking and ablution facilities. I returned to a lovely, clean home, toddler happy as a pig in mud, a family meal all cooking and a bubble bath just for me.

Hmmm.. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I met the love of my life whom i now call husband, on these very forum boards! I was 'confused' about my sexuality, he saw my thread, and the rest is history! Gladly yet sadly, we were on opposite ends of the earth; me in Denver, him in Perth AU. It took a couple years of purely Skype interacting (we would play games, watch movies, be naughty, etc) until he was able to make the flight to the States. We married, and then I immediately ended up needing a life changing surgery for a life threatening condition! He didn't leave my bedside for six months, living on, working from, sleeping in a hospital cot! It wasn't. . The best of times. But he saved my life, gave me reason to push forward and accept such difficult decisions! Eventually he had to go back home. We are pooling our resources to get me out to Australia as soon as possible, but for now we are back as we started--a world apart!
It doesn't matter where you are, if you have that connection with someone, the rest can and will follow.

Hi. I met my guy here on the boards almost a year ago. The stories I've had published on here, with the exception of one, are about us.

First date with my woman was the Christmas Ball at university. We were 21. I had never snogged so much in one evening, most of it in public. I knew she was the kind of gal who would say goodnight at her door which she did. My dreams that night, the glory of my erection in the morning - talk about romance and passion rolled into one. God how we've fucked, and loved our life together, these forty years!
I have had two such experiences, both with intelligent and sexually-charged people who just looked interesting to me when I first met them in real life.
One was pure magic, lasting three years, but unsustainable due to circumstances beyond our control. The second is an ongoing 11-year relationship, a more down-to-earth love affair.
All of them are 100% true and based on actual events.

I don't play WHAT THE FUCK with anyone. The instant a woman or anyone confuses me, I'm gone. I don't need a billboard, but mixed signals are my clue to look elsewhere. Mixed signals are ambivalence, do it with the other guys. If you aint with the one you love, go there.

Thank you all for the feedback. Makes me feel hopeful that other people have actually experienced it in real life.
I've wrote Romantic stories but never actually experienced it in life. Doing sweet things for each other, cherishing each other, craving each other.

For most people here I think the romance/passion/click is something they've never experienced.
So as an alternative, they romance themselves in tandem with distant people they'll never know.
They're just each others' foil as an avatar for fucking themselves.
It's a source of ongoing amusement.

The click definitely happens; what that leads to is determined by the needs, desires, and expectations of the parties involved.
I have to second (third?) those that say that what feels romantic can change depending on who you're with. And your idea of what romance is may change over the course of your life.

Or is otherwise fictional. In many languages and older Ænglish, a 'romance' is what we'd now call a 'novel' or "made-up shit". What we now think of as 'romance' used to be "courtly love", with dedicated knights, unobtainable damsels, etc. But no chastity belts. Those are totally bogus, like Tromp's tweets.
