However, just now, I would like to point out, that people always use the word "romantic", but it (for them) has lots of different meanings and all.
Me personally, am totally lost what it really means most of the time. You have the context, and I understand how when you're watching a love-comedy, a romantic comedy, or a romance, or whatever, that certain elements, can be considered romantic by some... However, isn't it interesting that sometimes it can totally not be? And it would also differ from person to person. No?
Like for example, naming a star after someone? Romantic?
Giving someone flowers? Romantic?
Having sex? Romantic?
Hugging? Romantic?
Watching a 'romantic' movie?
Watching the stars?
Kissing?
etc.
You can be really close to someone, without it being romantic? Right? Even for friends with benefits? Then there's what I mean with growing... You grow close to each other. It becomes exclusive. You start depending on each other. You trust each other. You share. Not only the good, but also the bad. You are there for each other. etc.
Romantic?
A lot of elements that can make a relationship, and even a marriage are there. However, none of it should be romantic? Yes? No?
Just something to think about I think. Something, I might add, SG's TPTB have been able to create sometimes maybe, but mostly it has gone wrong with either too much or not enough. Not really surprising though, as it already isn't easy in real life, can't be easy to get it on screen.
Or should TV really be an idealized image, or fantasy, depicting life as it should be, or is in an utopia, or fantasy-world. As to escape this one? As to be entertained? Then it also depends of course by what you are entertained I suppose.
