i wouldn't say it’s love without a healthy mix of romance and cynicism. ultimately you in your heart of hearts know how you truly feel and it’s for you to choose to chase. there often isn’t a right time, maybe the right time is now?

Don't be so romantic that you overlook red flags. Don't be so cynical that you fault someone on their every little flaw. Be open to new things because you might not know what you're looking for. And always, once you swear off love is the exact time when you find that one relationship.

romantic gestures (grand or small, whatever you’re into) balanced with honesty, understanding, acceptance, patience, communication and trust. compromise is important too but within reason! you shouldn’t compromise to the point where you lose yourself or feel like you’re settling for the sake of love and the person you love shouldn’t want that either. also, a lot of people want to be in a relationship for the sake of company and companionship and fail to see the other as their own person. so have standards, even if that means you won’t be in a relationship right away. love means being able to be an individual and appreciated as such. love should not be your identity, your identity should be present in how you love. i don’t know i have a very practical but fantastical approach…maybe it’s my taurus venus. personally i fancy a little fun and humor as well. if i can’t be silly with my lover i don’t want it.

True love is an ideal, and historically I don't know if most people experienced it- people have always married for money, had arranged marriages, been subject to immense power differences in their relationships that forced them to behave in certain ways. I do see this sentiment frequently and I think it reflects
1. the difficulty of romantic relationships in general, being something that you have to work at and compromise in every day, and
2. a general isolation that prevents people from falling in love organically and the perception of there "always being a better option" because of dating apps and social media feeding you the 1% of hot people all the time and movies and music and tv presenting sensationalized dream love stories to aspire to.
So maybe romance is just as hard to find as it has ever been, just in new ways. People have always yearned, so what do i know
