Romance is very alive, but you are going to have to do some searching in order to find it. There are tons of people that are still interested in romance. The current generation seems to think that romance is an act done through the internet. I see people making touching posts on instagram more often than doing nice gestures in person. I cannot remember the last time my significant other planned out something romantic. He more so spends his time playing video games and although we go out and have fun, it's never anything romantic. A lot of that has to do with how I handle romance, though. I laugh when someone tries to be romantic with me.
