Romance In Teenagers!!!
Romance is an escape from the world.I know that when you are going out with someone it makes you feel wanted and loved.
But how did we get in the mood for this Romance?
Romance is a huge selling point for advertising.For a girl to have Romance she has to make herself pretty and that’s the selling point for a couple ,well allot of products!!!
Example:Make up,Hair dye,shavers and tan these are some of the major selling point for Romance products but I bet that if you thought of some there would be 100s!!!
The other thing about advertising romance is that it doesn’t have to necessarily be romance but a break up and that is were I think the chocolates are soldyou ever seen an add about a girl being dumped by her boyfriend and then she gets home crying then she eats a certain brand of chocolate and she suddenly feels like she can walk the Kokoda track? Thought you have but are we really over exposed?
It is hard to tell because the people who make the adds have found a clever way to make things that are not Romance into Romance like have you seen the add where a guy puts a microwave meal into the microwave and then he loves it so much that he forgets that his girlfriend is there and when she leaves he does not care because he thinks that the microwave meal is his real partner? See that is not Romance heating up a meal but they found a way to make it into Romance.
So I am guessing that we are overexposed but not in a bad way research has shown that Romance is good for the soul and the mind it is always good to have someone to lean on!!!

This is an interesting post Sarah. Romance does ‘sell’ and it is a wonderful thing. I do have a theory though that people get a bit wrapped up in Romance a bit early in life. I reckon that one should learn to be at one and love their self before they go seeking it in others. Our Romance Packages at work sell really well at our Resorts, so people really do look for it though, so it is real and not just an advertising gimmick.

I would be interested to know what other qualities besides prettiness (that is an important quality, perhaps) attract romance and romantic feelings.
I liked the Kokoda Track example. Maybe she was feeling held down by the man and felt she couldn’t do it before, but now she can.
The EZine link doesn’t work very well.

the perfect love is out there but have you ever imagined how you might end up if you are not getting the perfect but the worst lover possible?
Scientist say that this is by far more likely! No panic, here comes the good news: Nobody is prepared for that

In ‘LONGING FOR FREEDOM’ a pretty cool indie feature this is exactly the case. Jennifer goes through a nightmare and I admit the movie helped me to cope with my own (sometimes not so good) experiences.
So where ever you are and what ever you do I just wanted to let you know that one can survive. I did … but … it is better I think to be warned. Ok, this might be not the right blog for that kind of comment but I just wanted say this. Have a great day, Cindy
P.S. to answer your question: Strength attracts romace. This might sound a bit harsh but somehow I think if you have inner strenght then you have grace and humor and you are trust worthy and you dont have to be mean (you dont need to). In other words: you are the flower that can hold the butterfly.

“The flower that holds the butterfly” – what a great post Cindy. You have put it in a nutshell. I have checked out the website of the movie that you have mentioned. Nice!!! It seems to be a nice romance and it must be brand new. It is not even on google.
Nice trailer.
