When the romance is gone, move on...

I learned this very catchy phrase from a red box rental video, and it made me think. Do relationships really work? I have been known to argue that relationships are indeed cages repressing your inner most being. I like to think that putting a time frame on dating is a smart plan. Date for only a certain amount of time, and then cut it, before you can get too attached, and before you can get hurt, because lets face it, it sucks going out with someone and then you never get a phone call after. Maybe the romance was done before you actually knew that it was? Who knows for sure, but this is a phenomenon that I am determined to get to the bottom of. When you think things are going so well, why does it end? Maybe for a time you're excited to go out with that certain boy you met at a coffee shop, your eager to get to know him. Your trying on five different shirts and taking pictures of each and sending them to your friend to ask her opinion. Your asking your roommate, which pair of pants make my butt look really good! But after a few dates, your hands no longer get sweaty, the butterflies that once resided in your stomach have now taken flight, in hopes of finding a new stomach in which to live, and you no longer have that need to freshen your breath before you go out. What goes wrong? What makes the "romance" disappear? Have we just gotten over the way they chew their food, or the fact that he never opens the car door for you, or did he finally drop a story about his ex girlfriend? This could be part of it, but what did you do wrong that made him want to move on? Did I snort when I laughed? Did I talk while chewing my food? Did I accidentally check out the waiter when we were being seated for dinner? So many things one could do to doom a relationship from the start, but I guess the real question is, why does all romance fizzle?


P.S. Don't ever google "worms in human head" you will not be happy with the results. Don't say I didn't warn you.
