    there is definitely a difference between the two, I don’t know any parents that romantically love their children

      This (and perhaps it is indicated by the delivery mechanism being a meme) is a joke, predicated on the lacking English verbiage for succinctly describing types of love. It’s all just “love”.

        I would say romance is distinct from love. I have friends I love as much as any romantic partners I’ve had and I’ve had romantic relationships where we really didn’t care much for each other beyond sex.

            Yeah that’s just my opinion, very possible that my approach to relationships is just fucked up somehow but it is what it is. I’d love to hear other perspectives because romantic relationships are something I’ve always struggled with.
