How does Romantic Love Differ from Sexual Love
Loving ourselves is sometimes seen as an impossible barrier to loving others, others see it as a necessary step towards being able to love others, as in the popular saying, "You have to love yourself before you can love others." Clearly both excessive self-love and self-scorn can kill romance. . Human love relations involve very complex dynamics. We, tend to take ourselves into different world when the word "love" comes to our mind. The love we have for our family or freinds is totally different from the love we feel for our soul mates. The poems I used to in this discussion are My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun by William Shakespeare and I like sleeping with someone different and also Love Is A Great Thing by Thomas Kempis. In the first poem, the mistress is shown as a man's life and his only desire to live. He loves her so much, that he cherishes her like a god. This can be true love and also it can be false claim. This thing can also be taken as fake love. I think that there is also somethin called "fake love". I say this because sometimes people will like you and show you their love when you are around them.

We all have different preferences in our lives about our love towards others and vice-versa. sometimes we get jealous, unrealistic, and sometimes we tend to tolerate anything becasue of our love towards the other person. We are attracted sexually to our lovers, we feel insecure in relationships so we always tend to ask and need repeated reassurance of our love and are we being loved in return. Typically, this kind of relationship lasts a few months or a few years. Then the love bond releases from the men we tend to find another female to impregnate her with our love genes. Romantic love involves talking, sharing, and closeness (intimacy) and touching, kissing, etc. (passion) but not an agreement to stay with the other person if the friendship and passion decline sharply. In sexual love, men and women view intimacy differently. For example, intimacy for a woman might mean talking but for men it might mean a relationship involving physical pleasures. And also I used the poem I Like Sleeping with Somebody Different. This poem is about a woman w
