My definition of romantic is filled with these words I think are synonymous with it:

• Passion
• Love
• Affectionate
• Compassion

There’s a reason why passion is everything.

Well to most.

It provides us with the energy to go toward our dreams.

If we’re focused on our target in romance then they should feel euphoric.

They should feel like you’ve been waiting and did what’s needed in order to get their attention.

I came across a user on Quora that had this to say about being passionate.

I agree with several points.

The first is passion comes from knowing there’s a set amount of time we have in life but passion expands possibilities.

The second deals with the idea of horoscopes.

Specifically with Gemini culture reflects the desire for companionship and how we search for a soulmate.

The third actually aligns with monogamy when I choose to apply it towards my beliefs.

When you’re romantic you can find multiple ways to align with the person you wanna pursue.

My last point is how providing and going through experiences allow you to become innovative when it comes to your partner.

Passion has to be included in order to be romantic.

When dealing with love it’s one quality that popped out to me because of one single reason.

Love is the most compelling force available.

It’s energy that lasts and eventually ends on a good note.

When you’re pursuing romance ‘love’ is a long term benefit that makes entertaining it worthwhile.

Being affectionate is another trait that makes the list because of the reputation it builds.

It’s funny because if you follow my MBTI articles then you may know that INTPs actually have the rep of not being affectionate.

Of course I’m sure there’s some out that may disagree but it’s just what data suggests.

They’re not the focus however.

Affection can be seen as small tokens in the form of actions that confirm whoever you’re dealing with is in fact romantic.

I could’ve went with empathy but instead went with compassionate for a couple reasons.

I actually got back from a family reunion and earned a charm that symbolized it so it’s fresh in my mind.

Another is my belief that compassion is better than empathy because it’s energy that you embody.

A compassionate person is someone that’s that completely across the board.

I think it’s easier and less stress on an individual to be compassionate rather than empathetic.

Compassion incorporates faith more into the equation than empathy.

Empathy usually takes learning more about whoever you’re dealing with and you might have to work more towards that.

A compassionate person has that ability to “understand” whoever better without needing to have any logical reason for it.
