I would say romance is distinct from love. I have friends I love as much as any romantic partners I’ve had and I’ve had romantic relationships where we really didn’t care much for each other beyond sex.

Take away sex and sexual tension and there isn’t much difference. just amount of love. and yhea, it’s different, but every relationship is different
