Romantic? Libertine?

From the article Are you a Romantic or a Libertine…? By M.Scott Peck, I found myself to be inside the romantic category. From the article, love is defined as a feeling of affection and fondness towards opposite sex. This does not defines love in a full manner, however, but it does defines the basic of human’s desire and feelings.  Romantic is defined as someone who had a sense of a prevailing mystery and mystery towards the mutual attraction in love affair. Basically, it is someone who is charming enough  towards the beloved.  There are two kinds  of romance ritual. First is the obligatory romance. It is defined as a lover who gave present to the beloved during certain special occasions or celebrating the beloved’s birthday or success. The second one is optional romance. For this type of romance, the lover will try to come out with many different kinds of ideas in order to impress the beloved.

True love... only came true if you're as loyal as you should be.

As for libertine, this type of love is not my characteristics. Libertine is the opposite side of romance, where the terms and aspects of romance does not apply inside. Libertines, or should I say their known name; Playboys and Players, have no intention to fall in love at all. Instead,  they only want to play around and have fun. Those who fall into this category usually had troubles managing their beloveds as they cannot entertain all of them at the same time. They will be in more deep trouble if they are exposed, as they might be dumped and in worst case scenario, court martial.

I, myself think that I’m in a courtly love, where my love relationship is build on the basis of unexplained feelings towards the person. I have it so many times. This term is also be called as an “unrequited love”.

Libertine.. such a pity.

I, myself had been into the sea of love as I delved into the romantic world. I had a girl that I had crushed on, and I done everything that I have to take her attention to me. Then again, she had someone else she likes as I don’t have much charm.

Then, I had a love-like relationship with someone I knew since little, and she was very nice to me. Though, due to my excessive romantic feelings towards her, it became a disaster and I have lost her forever. It was very sad, but what can I do, life goes on.

As conclusion, this article made me realize of my past love mistakes and helped to identify our type; which is whether romance or libertine. In my case, I’m a romance person. Yet no luck in love…..yet. well, Life goes on…so… Anything Goes!
