In your imaginary world
That's kinda true about my MS. Being me, the most unromantic idiot in the world, it seems rather pretentious if my character is suddenly in love with some dude and proclaims it to the world. It's beyond me to act that way, and as my own rule of thumb "always write what you know"... and romance and love seems to elude me.

It shows in my writing. The character is as unromantic as a beanstalk.

However, I do agree that the lack of romance in the story makes it really dull (even for a beanstalk person like me!)... so I've now changed it into "Write what you wish you had"... I hope that works?
