Elle & Allan you have both expressed how I also feel. For me a real romance must be experienced on a physical plane in the presences of one on one communication. Otherwise it is too close to fantacy for my likings. Fantacy is not real nor is it 'my thing'.

Where is the watching a sunset, gazing at an open fire, looking up at the stars late at night, seeing the northern lights, holding hands on a porch swing, crying on each others shoulder and laughing over silly things until you can't breath ......this is romance to me.
I love my cyberspace friendships but having a true romance is another story.
