Good morning, Do you consider yourself romantic? A date asked me this many months ago. When he posed the question, I felt a bit caught off guard, despite the fact that it was asked while we were watching one of my favorite romantic comedies. I laughed and shifted in embarrassment, perhaps wanting to be perceived as a skeptic of the grandeur and heteronormative ways romance is presented in so many rom coms (and certainly not wanting to be perceived as a Sally searching for her Harry). I probably said something like “um, it depends.” I’ve found myself coming back to the question lately.
