What is the difference between romantic attraction and sexual attraction?

For me they are combined in most instances... romantic attraction to me is seeing yourself doing things like walking on the beach watching the sunset and just being happy holding hands and smiling at each other...
Sexual attraction.. well "Rip your clothes off NOW!!" is how I see it.

When they are combined I think it can be a good relationship basis.

There is no real straight answer for this... I think a better question would be to ask the difference between love and lust. Romance comes automatically and easily with love as does hopefully some lust and physical attraction to your lover. However lust, is just the physical I think he/she is hot. I think that romance is the key though because you WANT to romance someone that you love, but you will USE romance to get what you lust...

Romantic involves the heart. Sexual involves the genitals. Did you know the brain is the biggest sex organ.

if it is enough to think of your lover (platonic) it is an amazing romantic attraction
