Romance Hides, Its a simple matter of finding it.


Hey guys,

So I've been a bit unwell recently so have been catching up on all the chick flick television and movies that made me fall in love with romance in the first place and so despite my absence I am back.

This is actually a very easy one for me to write now that I am maturing a bit, or growing into my ears as my mum calls it.

So basically many people write in lonely hearts columns and look on the internet for love thinking that is some rarity that only the lucky find, but I am a big believer that all it takes is a bit of confidence and Cupid's arrows are metaphorically drawn to you. Some people are missing a rather large trick that I will let you all in to now. Socialising. We live our lives at work or on the internet and life has become rather desensitized and that kills romance. Long gone are the days of it being cool to join a club - most people join as couples if they do and humanity expects love to move on to the web as we have. But as I have said before, the key to love is chemistry (maybe biology for good measure) and without organic chemistry of other humans love stands at poor odds of success.

My tip for anyone is to engage in conversation with the person who you see everyday in the office but have never spoken to. Join clubs and talk, meet as many new people as you can. Somewhere amongst the many people who may pass you by, there may be a firm friend, or a new love. It's essentially primary school playground theorem; when you were younger in the playground, you would see a new person and chat and before long you would be friends. That's how I met Lily and over time we have become the best of friends - she is like a sister I never had. It's the same with joining a club or working in an office, you will only make friends if you talk, don't think just adding them on Facebook is enough, with the occasional poke as a sign of friendship.

To put it plainly, Romeo and Juliet were of rival households and would of never met if Romeo hadn't snuck into the the party and, blinded by her beauty, spoke to her. The same for Aphrodite and her many human lovers, she was a goddess and it was definitely hard to win her over but most wouldn't just bump into her in the street.

So romance is hiding in plain sight, now go hunt it down, be bold, have nothing to fear.

All it takes is a hello to the right person.

Luv, Amber xx♥
