Romance and love are same or different.How you will describe ?

I'd like to think it can be a combination of BOth

In English usage, these two words can be very interesting, and very confusing to non-English speakers.

In some situations, romance and love can refer to the exact same things. In other situations, they can have a not-quite opposite meaning.

Most of the time, when English speakers refer to 'romance,' they are talking about the activities that people perform in an effort to endear themselves to someone, or in order to persuade that person that they love them. In that sense, the romance isn't love itself, it's things that the person doing the "romancing" does, in order to show that they do love someone.

Giving a person gifts, like flowers, and giving them personal praise, can be things that you do to show that you love someone, but we don't usually call those actions "loving" the person, we say they are "romancing" the person.

That's how we come to have an odd use of the word "romance." As in "persuade someone FALSELY that you love them." Go through the MOTIONS of showing care and desire for a person, without actually caring for or desiring them, can be referred to as "romancing" them.

What makes the words most confusing to non-English (and to some English speakers), is that the OTHER word, "love," is so often used to refer to actions as well as to feelings. Whereas "romance" almost always refers ONLY to actions, "love" gets used to refer to anything and everything, from JUST a feeling one has, to desire, to hunger, to sexual activities.

In the end, these words can be tricky to completely understand, because you can love someone without ever wanting to romance them; you can romance someone, even though you don't love them; and you can have someone leave you, saying that though they understand that you do at least think that you love them, that the romance has gone out of your relationship with them.

^^^ What He Said ^^^

Completely different.
Romance is the means by which something is communicated.
Love is feelings and emotions to be communicated.

^^^ What He Said ^^^

The word 'romance' is sometimes used when referring to a brief courtship, that is the dating of two people which failed to become a serious relationship. A 'holiday romance' for example, where two people first meet and date when on holiday, they enjoy each others company but do not necessarily have or form any love for each other, and it ends when their holiday is over.

Romance seems like courting or making love.. being sweet, dating etc

Love is unconditional.. :) :) :)

Just an opinion

i am purely honesty in love and romance

And just to confuse you even more ..

There is love

And there is romantic love

YEs, and let me take it one step further: You can also have romantic BDSM.
Don't believe me, read my book. At some point there's Romantic BDSM Night and the club is decorated with lovely roses and bougainvilles, pink and red cushions and blankets and so on.

BDSM can lead to more than a broken heart

Women show love by cooking, doing laundry etc. It would be nice if the guy would show s9me appreciation and be romantic on occasion. Probably wouldn't be as many divorces. I know my ex didn't realize all the things I did until after our divorce.

Romance is when a man knows how to show his lady how special she is to him.

Love is putting her needs above you're own. You no longer are Selfish, thinking only what you Want.

Cooking and laundry == love?? I guess I must love myself then but never thought of it that way!! So when I make dinner for a lady, I'm showing her that I love her????

Easttowest,
On behalf of REAL men, who know how to appreciate their women correctly, I'd like to apologize :)

I must be a woman in disguise then

I like cooking, I don't mind doing the laundry or cleaning and I am well able to change a baby's nappies.

No its romance vs eroticism Op...
