Romance is a general term that refers to an
intimate and often
sexual relationship between two people. It is an exaggerated or decorated expression of
love. It also refers to a
feeling of
excitement associated with love. Historically the term romance did not necessarily imply love relationships, but rather was seen as an artistic expression of one's innermost desires; sometimes including love, sometimes not. Romance is still sometimes viewed as an expressionistic, or
artful form, but within the context of "romantic love" relationships it usually implies an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person. "Romance" in this sense can therefore be defined as
attachment,
fascination, or
enthusiasm for something or someone, in
literature similar exaggerated narration is called romance (see
Romanticism and
Romance novel).
