I thought that being with a woman would give me a deeper form of intimacy that men my age lack. Romance in a heterosexual relationship is often inspired by the woman. According to Rappleyea (2015), Sternberg's theory of love states that romantic love is the combination of intimacy and passion. Romantic love, while lacking commitment, is probably the most important form of love to me because it almost resembles the consummate love that is the goal of any intimate relationship. Women tend to view romance as their most important "love language" and most men recognize this. So, men often "go the extra mile" to make sure their wife is happy so he can get what he wants sexually in return. Unlike heterosexual relationships, I concluded that women know how to love other women. As a result, I haven't had to crave romance/intimacy, it's almost like it happens naturally in our relationship. Although I am shocked to receive a rating of 5 in the romance section of the "Love Style" inventory, the results are justified due to the change in my dating preferences. Same-sex relationships involve a massive amount of “courtship,” especially when one is not open about one’s sexuality. Nevertheless, I concluded based on my dating preferences, Ludus Love is quite accurate in my love.
