Who the hell are all these superheroes on the org all of the sudden?!

what if it was incredibly ... well, whatever your definition of 'mindblowing' is. perfect, as it were.

it doesn't get tarnished by the mundane of the everyday.

Kitty, why is it that your threads get jacked?

if the greatest romance of your life gets tarnished by the mundane of the everyday it wasn't really the greatest romance of your life.

unless, once again, you are terribly unfortunate.

but we're not disposed to moving on like that, are we? can anyone really say, "yes, that was perfect and i'm satisfied that it won't happen again" ?

it seems (paradoxically) at once pessimistic (for feeling that were it to continue it would inevitably get tarnished), and blinkered - being satisfied when there's little satisfaction to be had. that's the way i see it, anyhow.

i think the correct answer is, "because i am jackable".

Starkitty, I feel that if one considers "The Greatest Romance of Their Life" to be something that only lasted for a night, that's really sad. The title of this thread begs the question "is there any hope in even bothering with a real relationship?" I see nothing wrong with holding out hope for a great romance that will last a lifetime. I've been happily married for 7 and a half years, and I can honestly say that I'm more in love now than I ever was. Romance is somewhat essential in a relationship, but still only a small part of the life two people can share together. But I see your point, once you have romance you can get on with other more important things like fussing over the remote control and reminding him every day to wear his seat belt . I guess the real answer to this thread depends on one's point of view. Well, ya got mine!
Goodnight everybody!

i don't know, but one may not know it except in retrospect. it also really depends on one's frame of reference. maybe one is in a sad relationship and has one night of perfect. but that is a whole 'nother can of worms.

3bogs said:

it may not be about being sated. it may be about savoring it for what it was.

SassyBritches said:

that's one way of looking at it.

Well, I had one of the most PERFECT nites of my life in Dublin once with a David Beckham lookalike - but I'm sure that we all experience one of those 'perfect evenings' at least once.

It's definately something I've treasured - is THAT what u mean?

I think the word 'relationship' shouldn't be used in this context tho...

OdysseyMiles said:

that's beautiful.

thank you.

got lucky last night?

vanillachild said:

i know what you mean, but it still seems terribly pathetic that anyone would feel able to settle for a single night of wonderful romance and then retreat to their unhappy relationship, or whatever. maybe it happens because of practical reasons, but that still garners my pity - utter pathos.

and savouring it for what it was again - what about what it could be? isn't that a natural human emotion? but i guess then we're back to the fantasy / reality thing.

bananacologne said:

right, i don't mean relationship i guess... i mean romance.

this isn't even MY question really, i (and a friend of mine) just found it pretty interesting and thought provoking.

so you go on with your bad self and beckham lookalike.

3bogs said:

true, true. i don't have a hard and fast stance, just a thought i guess.

Milty said:

not luck, honey. it's skill.

vanillachild said:

you pump my pussy!

SassyBritches said:

girlfriend, i mean boyfriend...

vanillachild said:

ran out of posts too!

I don't think the greatest romance of your life could happen in one night. Relationships need time to develope you need to really speak to that special person and share things, experience things together. It's not possible to get the complete essence of someone in one night. Sure you can have a wonderful time and have great sex. But all it is is sex and you can't build a relationship on that. I've been guilty of rushing into things because of the 'moment' because of how I felt and lived to regret it.

So in short I think the answer is no. You need more than one night.

i think that is becoming the crux here... relationship vs. romance.

i think it's equally pathetic either way.

croak!

3bogs said:

ornery bastard.

ok i'll stop being a smarty pants for a second and answer your question.

well i dunno. there's all kinds of variables. if it was such a good night, maybe the best of your life, then maybe it could be the greatest romance of your life - but only if you never ever have a night like that ever again.
but then if you do have another great night like that again then maybe it was not. like Prince has said before,"there's always somebody better than you." so maybe you might stumble on anopther great night just like this one.

ok maybe it was Herbie Hancock who said that. i can't remember.
