Is technology killing romance? Some say that the modern means of communication are taking the romance out of relationships. Perhaps those who take this position are looking at form rather than substance. For example, romance books still proliferate. Whether you talk about the mundane boy meets girl romance novel, the historical romance novel, or even the paranormal romance novel, the romance novels are still represent one of the most popular genres in print. And the online romance novel, the ebook, is one of the fastest growing segments because it is usually free.

Of course, it is true that people today would rather text or e-mail I Love You rather than send a letter or love note. But when you think about it, who sends letters at all today? Letters are an anachronism in the modern era. Almost everything we do today is online. Why not love letters? Is the sentiment any less felt when it is sent by e-mail rather than snail mail? I don't think so.

Perhaps this idea that technology is anti-romance is a postal conspiracy. After all, the fewer letters and note, the less money the postal service makes. When you think about it, it's a lot easier and less expensive to say I love you in a text message than it is by sticking a stamp on an envelope. No, romance is not dead. It is those living in the anachronistic world that have the problem. So, let's talk about romance.

Romance has many different nuances, meanings and connotations. Romance novels and romance books, whether they are read online or in manuscript form, are often read to enjoy the splendor of true love. This feeling includes some degree of sexual attraction and a longing for the companionship of the person who is your love object. A great deal of the confusion about romance and physical love stems from the use the concept as a merchandising and marketing tool. We know that it is a biological necessity, as it is the natural method of producing children, and fortunately for us it is also a lot of fun.

So perhaps the technology has taken the commercial aspect out of romance. Could that be the real issue? You make the call.

Romance is an essential key to a meaningful, lasting love relation. Romance helps the development of the relationship between the lovers or perhaps we should say potential lovers.

It is the romantic level of the relationship, which determines the emotional and physical responses of the partners in the budding, true life, love story.  Remember all love stories, fictional and factual, do not necessarily end on a happy note. So, the indispensable presence of love – not mere desire for intimacy or even a deep appreciation – but the kind of love you feel when two people have a “certain chemistry”.  They are siblings, best friends, pals, mates, co-conspirators, and collaborators in their cooperative venture of sensual intimacy, deep affection and earnest commitment to each other.  The great intimacy some couples generate when they are together is a reflection of the love and affection, the respect and collegial nature of their relationship.  This is when romance can get really creative, customized and ever so sweet.
