It depends what you define as romance. Sure I look for my version of it and the Richard Curtis style romantic idea is appealing to me every now and then for about 5 seconds, but not really.
I'm not looking for it now, because I'm happy with what I have :-)
Just that the popular idea of romance as described in that post doesn't appeal and isn't something I look for.
For example, I can't think of anything more unromantic than 12 roses sent to work and a dinner out on Valentine's day, but that's just me.
I think romance is more indefinable than that and can't be created or found or forced in any other way, it just happens as it happens, hence I wouldn't say I 'look' for even my own version of romance and I have no reason to look for something if I think I have it.
