The Romance Genres discuss dating #romancebooks #booktube

I feel like "ghosting" is something that Paranormal and Fantasy have to deal with as well, albeit with slightly different connotations

[Ray-ray.]

'Until I found my fated mate' 😂

[ellieeditss]

i feel like these lot need to meet dystopian romance, i think they’d get along well

[elliee]

Hey now, doesn’t contemporary romance also sometimes have to marry/date for money? Like she’s really poor and her hot CEO boss needs someone to pretend to be his girlfriend/fiancée/wife for whatever reason?

Fantasy Romance would nod knowingly at the mention of “fated mate”. Its the elves. Or fae. Whatever you wanna call it its always the magical sexy fate-bound elf men.

The nose ring moving every time is hilarious

[archerscrazylife]

Okay, but Paranormal Romance has probably been ghosted once or twice...

[TheVillageIdiot]

I love the blank look on history and fantasy's faces.

[cc-vtrf]

Does paranormal's flask say;" the tears of my enemies"

[codywoka]

Enchant suitors by changing which side your nose ring is on every time they look away

[jasonelizabethk]

I felt that "damn it" deep in my bones lmao

[zessonateacloud]

I kinda love the Paranormal Romance character😂

[polaroized]

she’s not wrong, historical romance is a better slowburn with a satisfying ending and the others are more involved in plot than romance so there’s less room for unnecessary love triangles or miscommunication when it comes to dating which is actually quite refreshing

[stephaniewilliams]

The "Damn it!" is real, I would follow it up with "like I'm happy for you but, damn it"

[orihimeu]

The nose piercing just kept changing places 😂🎉

[cloud_catus]

Well, a big part of paranormal romance nowadays feels like it comes from them frustration of modern dating. With the whole 'fated mate' there is no uncertainty.

[SingingDragons]

The fated mate thing always drove me crazy😂 not to say it can’t be compelling if written well but man can it feel like there is no free will

[eldrichhorrornya]

…wouldn’t catfishing be more prevalent in high fantasy settings where magical means of changing one’s appearance is more accessible?

[vijo]

"DTR" is "define the relationship", in case anyone was wondering like me 😊

[Grey_Shard]

I gave up on finding someone a long time ago, and had to look up DTR to see if it was an STD.
