Does anyone else find this REALLY hard to answer?

How do you know when you're in one or not?!

I find it hard to know sometimes when a friend is just a friend or if it's something more!

Help welcome!

Your post is a bit too vague for me to respond. Can you be a bit more specific?

Romantic relationships are where a male and a female love each other so very, very much.
I think it's the whole neurobiological situation of the two involved... if they are both at the same level... doesn't necessarily have to be intense but a stable romance seems to work best.

Sorry maybe some clearer questions will help?

Is about being boyfriend and girlfriend (or partner and partner)
Is only when sex becomes part of it?
Do you have to be seeing them a certain period of time?
How does it differ to a friendship?

Does that help?

Thanks past fixations for your answer.. So you think being in love with each other in a relationship is an essential part of it? I think I agree with that.. Well it takes time to develop into that I suppose? So maybe love isn't there at the start but is eventually?

Sex isn't everything... (I can't believe I just said that...)
Love is that feeling where you know when it's there with a partner...
In fact being able to process your ideal partner and be able to list some of the things you'd want and loads of things that you don't want in a partner... this is not being unjust, this is looking at love scientifically and logically to an advantage. ;)

It's a bit clearer, thank you! To be honest, all of those questions you asked don't have a widespread definite answer. It all depends on the people in question, though for the most part, I agree with PastFixations.

It's a romantic relationship if both people involved think it is.
