WHERE IS ALL THE ROMANCE??? Romance has been a vastly ignored genre in

We're a bunch of geeky guys with no romantic lives.  That's where :)
(At least in my case.  Bleah.)

rarely do they evoke the same ..feelings that Shakespeare has, or
even...Spelling (the producer of 90210, if you must know. never really watched
the show, just heard that it was ..good).  The bonds of love between two (or
more) people. The feelings that made you cry during the KOR movie.  Romance
doesn't have to be sappy, just..there.  

When I reach Shakespeare's level, I'll try and let you know.  Give me a
few decades :)
