So, we fell in love once, gently or perhaps madly. In any case, we were in love?

You better believe it! The smile in your face, the twinkle in your eye told me that you loved me.

Says Juliet

Tender feelings, yes. We loved each other for who we were. For me, it was you, Juliet, and not another.

Yes, I did not care about your money or your good looks. There was something mysterious about the whole of you.

Says Juliet

But what about the many people for whom that accident of 'falling in love' never seems to happen?

Says Romeo

A Conversation

That's a fair question. I do not know. I mean, how can I know? I did fall in love with you.

I guess that people might also come to love each other little by little, over time.

As long as there is some passionate desire or intimate attraction between them, for starters?

Yes, a cozy fire can kindle and grow from only a few little sparks, instead of being set furiously ablaze by a bolt of lightening.

That's a good analogy, Romeo. Mind you, though, many blazes burn out fast, and many kindlings just die cold. So...

Modern courtship to the rescue! That reserved time span may tell if a blaze calms down or if a kindling catches on.

Ah, you're so smart. But did you know that all intimate loves need erotic passions as fuel to burn? 

Says Romeo

Be careful, Romeo. Erotic passions? These words bring up all kinds of visceral associations in people's minds.

I know. But humans are not made to be wallflowers. I prefer to talk frankly else an audience may just walk away.
