Romantic Love- What are the Signs?



All of us talk of love. Most of us have heard of romantic love. Few of us have felt romantic love. I say few because everyone does not fall in deep romantic love. For many of us it is simple relationship that goes little beyond friendship. But in romantic love the relationship is totally different. Such love gives great pleasure and immense pain after break-up. The pain may at times be so much that one may regret ever falling in romantic love. How it feels when we are in deep romantic love? We find everything about our partner romantic. Their talk, their walk, their smile and their laugh everything sounds good to us.We try of various ways to please our partner. We go to a great extent to fulfill their desires and make them happy. This is a big motivator. Many people have achieved great heights in their life because they wanted to do something for their partner. That is why it said that behind every successful man there is a woman.We feel highly confident and self-assured when we are in romantic love. It is considered an achievement. We feel that we have done something great.We lose sense of reality. We live in a dream world most of the times. Our thoughts are always centered on our partner. This can be very dangerous in some cases. After the love disappears, it becomes very difficult to adjust with life again.We become adventurous. Our mind finds way to be with our partner despite major obstacles. Our moral values may also change at times.Our body undergoes hormonal changes. Our reproductive hormones increase and we are most of the times in a state of excitement.We feel that we are one with our partner in all the ways. We become dependent upon them for getting pleasure and our earlier hobbies undergo change. This causes great ache after break- up.

Love Letters a New Trend - Sex and the City


Napoleon wrote, 'I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest.' Written decades ago yet, still incredibly passionate.
We may not write 75,000 letters in our lifetime, as Napoleon did. Many of which were to Josephine, both before and during their marriage. Yet we cannot deny the pleasure that one heartfelt letter can bring.
With the release of the new film, 'Sex and the City,' we are seeing a possible new trend. The rebirth of the love letter. To have one pour their emotions onto a piece of paper. Laying the heart exposed, anticipating a favorable response.
So what then has played a pivotal role in the revival of this lost art?
Was it the scene where Carrie read to Mr. Big? Absolutely! Thus, creating a wide spread epidemic, to say the least. Millions of women set out on what should have been a simple journey. To have, to hold, their own copy of 'Love Letters of Great Men.' All for naught, their search was in vain. 'We've been had,' came the outcry. It doesn't exist.
All was not lost. In order to satisfy the requests of these hungry women, their focus was directed away from the big screen, to a book called, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day." I love happy endings!
Through my own personal research, I was able to stumble upon some very enticing tidbits. The oldest love letter was said to have been written on a brick. We can only hope the recipient, never got angry.
And Beethoven, a man with a secret? It is reported that at the time of his death a single love letter was found among his possessions. Written to his Immortal Beloved. Were there more? Had she returned it? He tells her, "can our love endure except through sacrifices, except through not demanding everything."
In closing, I have a question for you, "Has a love letter ever changed your life?" I would love hearing your story. Or if you would like to share your opinions, thoughts, regarding the book, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day," visit me at Romantic Love Letters
