I am not ashamed of wanting love in some form. However, I don't really want romantic love. I guess I'm like your grandmother, the cynic.

Funnily enough, my mom is kind of like your grandmother. When I had a crush in college, she sent me an email with the subject line "Love is pain". Guess I come by my disinterest in romantic relationships honestly.

Mom and Dad are still married, but it was an arranged marriage, and honestly they never really had romantic love. It is more a parent/child relationship at this point.
