general Is being romantically in love with someone as special as it's made out to be?

[EpicEnergy 23,163]

I feel like one cannot objectively state that one type of relationship (platonic vs romantic) is better than the other because each individual is very different, which means their relationships between each other is also very different.

Ive only been in a romantic relationship for a week or so,  but its the best feeling I've ever had ❤️

Think there is a place for both types

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

It's been overly idealized by society. Speaking from experience, being in a relationship won't make all of your problems go away and it could even make them worse.

[Splashee 28,563]

Probably, but it has to be actually -romantic-. Like lit candles and flowers, and stuff

[AlicornSpell 146]

There are a lot of dangers and risks to romantic relationships. Romantic relationships are very dangerous. The world would be much more better and safer without romance than it is with it. 

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

I'm going to say yes.

Now, if one of you fine folk could hook up with me and confirm that blind guess, it'd be much obliged. 

[AlicornSpell 146]

To me, if romantic love is actually real, it would be one of the weakest types of love there is.

Easier said that done when girls don't even give you the time of day and you never meet any.

I would say, yes. If you'd get a chance, take it!

 

It is not needed for survival, but it is absolutely wonderful if it happens
