This is true because in order to be in a romantic relationship, there is not a required amount of commitment necessary. Another example of one of these combinations would be infatuated love. This kind of love occurs when a person is very passionate about someone without feeling a sense of intimacy or commitment. Infatuated love can be fueled by an obsession. Many people view infatuated love as irresponsible, immature and blind love built solely on unreasonable passion, which could simply stem from a sexual attraction.
The Differences of Love and Infatuation Love and infatuation, two very different things yet they are confused quite often. For a while most people can not tell the different between the two, both can dominate our thoughts and emotions. Jenijoy La Belle writes in “Loofah Is a Man Splendored Thing” that infatuation is in some ways a form of insanity, but ultimately different from love which based on common desires. She makes this conclusion by thinking of infatuation as being illusory and vapid, and also gives many examples of infatuation being by nature irrational. Love however is mutual and realistic, while infatuation requires neither.
Manipulation - "If you loved me, then you would..." (isn't love, but rather infatuation.) Compromising Who You Are - If someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature, that isn't true love. Although love does involve compromises between partners, someone who is in love with you will never ask you to change who you are in order to be loved. Violent - Passions can definitely be inflamed with someone you love, but a relationship with physical or emotional violence isn't true love. Just Lust - Yes, chemistry and physical attraction are important, but true love also includes commitment, trust, and respect.
Romeo is talking in paradoxes; he does this to emphasize that love is confusing. He says that love is everything except for what it actually is. Since Romeo thinks that he is in love although no one loves him, love can be two things that are opposites at the same time. Although Romeo is happy to be in love, he does not like the thought of love itself because if no one loves him back, love will become more confusing. Romeo is hopelessly in love with Rosalind which he explains when he says, "I am too sore enpiercèd with his shaft To soar with his light feathers, and so bound, I cannot bound a pitch above dull woe.
The article talks about the gender role between men and women role during intimacy and how affectionate they can become. Some men loves attention and so does women too.

People spend too much time and energy trying to find these relationships. There seems to be a less of a connection with people online. Jung’s article talks of Cornell University's Steven Strogatz who says “ By focusing so much of our time and psychic energy on these less meaningful relationships, our most important connections...will weaken” (par.2). Recent discoveries reveal that people aren’t who they really are online; leading people to “date” the unknown. People make fake accounts and use them to meet other people.
Kelsey Pham Philosophy 325 2 October 2013 “Love’s Bond” by Robert Nozick In the writing, “Love’s Bond,” by Robert Nozick, he asserts that, “In love’s bond, we metamorphose” (239). This assertion serves as the basis of Nozick’s account of the nature of love, his belief that the attitude of love is inconsistent with the desire to trade up to another partner, and his view of why it is irrational to ask how love benefits an individual person. According to Nozick, the nature of love is the desire to ultimately form a “we” with whom you are in romantic love with. It is not coincidental that the desire to create an extension of oneself occurs when romantic love does; rather, it is inherent in the nature of love and what sets romantic love apart from the other kinds of love. One of Nozick’s major point is the idea of a shared well-being in which he states,“ Your own well-being is tied up with that of someone you love romantically.
She believed that women should be equal to men in relationships.

Wollstonecraft gives the advice to women readers that they should consider their choices; is having a husband the right choice? Or is a lover better?
