I absolutely HATE the whole “love at first sight”. Like, how realistic is that? I’ve watched a friend have several “love at first sight” moments, and it made me sad and sick and sorry. She and her boyfriend (they started dating after only a few days knowing each other) would always end their conversation with “I love you” and I always thought, “Yeah, right, this isn’t love! It’s temporary passion.” I tried to talk to my friend but she didn’t want to hear it, and now she’s gone to Germany and her “boyfriend” has completely shut her off. *glares at boyfriend, who I also know*

Yeah love at first sight gets to me as well. Like West Side Story REALLY annoys me. The main couple meet at a dance, exchange about five words and already they’re in love! When she’s on the balcony and he goes like ‘Maria I love you!’ I felt like smacking my head against the wall. Like THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS!! You just met her!

Instant attraction exists yes, but love is developed overtime. Helllooo??!!

So, long story short, if there’s going to be romance in a book, make it like Aragorn and Arwen, who took, like, 50 years to cultivate their relationship. XD

Hahaha you know personally it kind of frustrates me a little if its dragged on and on. Fifty years is a bit TOO long. I think I’ll make it like ten years or something, because my couple were childhood friends first. It also annoys me when the couple don’t get together officially until the big war is over. I kind of like really high stakes and tension, so I think later in my series, my couple will get married while the whole conflict is happening. I just think that’s way more exciting, especially when there’s a pregnancy involved. That way it gives the heroes an even bigger reason to win the war. But that’s just me 🙂
