I think that, since I believe you are a talented writer, you should try to broaden your scope. If you don't like doing it and never even consider writing a romance story again that's fine, but I think you should give it a chance.

You're saying mine are corny? ;_; (Joking of course)

 

Being a hopeless romantic, I write plenty of romantic stories. I'd say you should try it - it develops a different relationship between your characters, and can create witty banter. The type of relationship that's always best is a love/hate relationship. Confusion, madness, humor: It all fits into that category.

 

And here's an idea. You can make a story, where two characters find romance. But because they have duties (if they have superior responsibilities that might be broken if they attempt romance), they might not be able to succeed in making a 'life' together. So, their future has yet to be decided, and leave it at that. Maybe they might be together, they might not. Leave it for the imagination of the reader to decide.

 

It's a good way to get the attitude of characters when in love or whatever, or to write the development of two characters becoming a romantic couple. Even if it may seem corny to you or others, it still has its dynamic, romantic feel regardless. But let me cut this short - to be honest, try your hand at it. It'd be a good writing experience and you might like it.

Here's some tips:

 

>Start out having like one of the individuals having like an infatuation with the other. The other doesn't notice the person.

 

>Slowly they begin to have small conversations with each other, like in a class or group, etc.

 

>Then the other (as I see it the girl was the one who was ignoring the boy at first), well anyway the girl starts to slowly have feelings for the other, she thinks it's weird.

 

You get where I'm going with this?

 

There, and don't judge me! I watch way to much TV.

 

Edit: I'd suggest this is like a side-story for another story, like have the boy be going on a journey to find his destiny. Just seems right.

 

Yet again this is your story, not mine...

Actually, Celu, your idea isn't too far from how I would begin a romance story -- minus the infatuation, though. I'd definitely want to fool around with the awkward feeling one gets when they're around someone they like and don't know what to say.
