I like the way you define romance but it looks like that you limited the definition of Romance on just ( being with someone ...) is it possible to be romantic by just being with our self ?
مرتضى, Aren't you a someone? I "date" myself all the time! It's the best time to reflect and reassess where I'm going and what collateral damage I've been causing. Can't do that when you're in company, can you? :)
D, Well said, darl. Though a bit morbidly Catholic if you want my honest opinion. You don't? Fine, we won't mention it again. :P
HAHAHA! Actually, it is, isn't it. I didn't realize I was saying it with such a wistful voice when in fact, I was going for cynical. I mean, romance, really what is it? I think it's a Drew Barrymore rom-com.
In a "real" relationship (and by real, I mean one that doesn't involve an astoundingly beautiful lead actress that I want to be), there really isn't that much romance. It's always some kind of work.
"Oh, let me get him or make him something unexpected, he'll love it."
Is that romance?
Is it sex, then?
How about the part in a relationship where you plan a life together, talk about money, or resent your partner's family members?
Di, I'm paraphrasing, but was it Kahlil Gibran who said: "The visible proof to love is work"?
Work is the kind of romance that agrees with us "real - and not ugly - women", isn't it? Since chocolates make us swing and roses remind us of fleeting young-looks.
It's actually consistent work that romanticizes our relationships, old age and saggy boobies and frustrations. Not the other way around, where we wait for someone to make romance come to us in the form of a perfect, rich, ready-for-commitment stud.

Romance is the way two people try to make it work, whether or not there is comfort to be found in each other's presence.

I think romance is there when the other person is 95% (lets be realistic) comfy with you and you with him and your don't cramp each other's style...
