Many people does not know the difference between love and romance, probably because both create feelings of ecstasy. But love outlast the joy of physical embrace; the sensual component of loving eventually because mere surface manifestation of a deeper emotion and not simply a release of carnal energies. Romance is only the initial burst of the love relationship. Love lingers on and flourishes after that illusory stage.

Our concept of love these days is very much influenced by the movies and the romance novels - we go crazy over physical beauty and poetic passion; the attractiveness, the chase, the conquest.

BE aware, while physical attraction maybe a crucial part of romance, it is not love per se. Love can not be enforced, it only yield itself freely. There is no need for chasing love. Physical conquest is not sure to win it.
