Isn't It Romantic...

This just started as one of the many lists I tend to make when I'm bored, but then I realized I could use it as a romance-writing exercise.  Bonus!

"Romance" means different things to different people, and whether you're writing about it, or just trying to get more in touch with romance in your own life, it can be helpful to flesh it out a bit.  So pour yourself a champagne cocktail (or whatever floats your boat), and fill in the blanks: what does "romance" mean to you?
