The roles, expectations and lifestyles of both men and women varies greatly from that of our parents or grandparents. We are more independent, we live a life of deadlines and and high stress. We have given up the romantic dream of little yellow houses with white picket fences and a gaggle of children in the yard, for dreams of skyscraper condos, flexible, marriage-less relationships and fast food lunches.

For many people romance is considered a luxury they can't afford to indulge in. They want to keep their relationships free of emotional hang-ups, and their dating experiences are choreographed to reflect this desire. Ask a stranger out at noon, pick them up at six, dinner at a fine restaurant, maybe drinks afterwards, home to the bedroom, maybe a quick coffee in the morning and a quick peck on the cheek before they rush back off in opposite directions.

If these fast paced daters do chose to live a monogamous lifestyle, they tend to live it in almost the same fashion. Rushing about with little time for romance or playfulness. Romantic love gets lost among the stress in seeking financial, educational or physical recognition above our peers. The lust for bigger dwellings, bigger bank accounts, better jobs and even better romantic partners! Life seems so much faster and tougher.

Relationships like this exist everywhere, but we don't have to let it be the only kind of lifestyle left to our industrial age couples. Romance is possible, even in our fast paced lives of today! You can find your perfect match, and live romantically ever after.
