Yes I admit it I am a romantic. Not that there's anything wrong with THAT. And I do believe in love at first sight. I haven't read that NotWal, although I'm a bit scared to say that in case there's a hidden meaning I innocently haven't got.

Its from "The Sentimental Bloke" - dated but funny. No hidden meaning, just a shallow comment.

I agree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being romantic. It may be totally unrealistic but as I have said before, realism is for dead people. Did you know that Isaac Newton spent half his life researching alchemy and magic. He may be famous for his pragmatic physical discoveries but in his breast beat the heart of a true romantic.

I don't think its unrealistic. I have been watching my parents (99 and 87) holding hands and telling each other how much they love each other and that the last 65 years of marriage have been wonderful. All us kids were in the room and it was like we didn't exist. They got it right the first time. I grew up with a wonderful example of true love and was given nothing but love.

"Unrealistic" that's just my experience talking. I am sometimes deeply cynical, but not a disbeliever. Your parents - Wow. What's their story?
