Well, not Sir, but you get the idea...
Okay, it's better late than never - here's the Friday Five:
1.) Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? Yes and no. I believe that to really love someone, you have to know them. And that requires more time than just "first sight". But, sometimes you can tell there's a connection (more than just physical) right away. It isn't the same as love, but it can be a pretty strong feeling.
2.) What physical feature attracts you the most (romantically) to another person? Hehehe... It's hard to pinpoint one thing that "attracts me the most". Back in the day, I think it was broad shoulders- though that was just part of it, really I just liked good-looking, clean-cut guys. And it's been awhile since I've really paid attention to being attracted romantically to anyone besides Ryan. However, the features that catch my eye now-a-days (romantically or not) are gorgeous eyes (I LOVE Ryan's eyes!) and a great smile.
3.) What do you think is the biggest benefit of being in a romantic relationship? Knowing that you have someone that loves and supports you. You know that you are never alone because there is at least one person who is on your side.
4.) Biggest downside? You're vulnerable. It's easier to get hurt. When you've given your heart and soul to someone, you are at risk of having it all broken.
5.) Has your idea of love and romance changed? If so, how? Of course. As you live life, especially in a relationship (ie. marriage) with someone, it evolves. It constantly changes - hopefully always progressing. You learn more about what love is and what love does as you experience more together. Each "hard time" you go through together changes what love means to you.
My idea of love was always based on the same things it's based on now, but it means more now. Having someone to count on. Being able to share every part of me and my life with the person who is most important to me. Having them trust me enough to share all their secrets with me. Going through life's experiences together, facing trials and getting through it together. Knowing that he knows me better than anyone else - and he still loves me!
When we were dating and newlyweds, my idea of romance was a candlelit dinner and roses. Now, romance is in the little things. It's just spending time together doing something we both enjoy. It's hearing him pay me a compliment - especially when he's telling someone else. It's when he reaches for my hand when a favorite song comes on the radio. It's when we say the same thing at the same time - or finish each other's sentence. It's those moments when I realize again how perfectly meant for eachother we really are.
