The first definition from a Google search for define:romance is
love affair: a relationship between two lovers
Sound ok to me initially, but what exactly does the word "affair" imply?
These are found from a similar Google search for define:affair:
Definitions of affair on the Web:
matter: a vaguely specified concern; "several matters to attend to"; "it is none of your affair"; "things are going well"
a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship

An affair is a form of nonmonogamy. The term may be used to describe infidelity in marriage. It may be used as a euphemism and in some cases to add glamour to an illicit liaison. Describing a relationship as an 'affair' may be inaccurate or intentionally damaging. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair
Wow!!! So, beware!
