When you see your partner after a very long time of not seeing them, which typically occurs after a tour of duty in the military or a year of service that is served far away from your home after college, and you pull them aside for a minute or two to tell them how much you missed them, that you love them, and just to take a chance give your partner a little physical affection considering they may be craving it after not being with you for so long.
Zachary: I’m happy your back from your tour of duty. I am guessing your happy to be back home.
Pedro: Yes, I am happy to be home after such a long time of being away. Would you excuse me and Britany for a minute?
Zachary: Sure.
(Pedro and Britany walk a short distance away. They begin talking to each other quietly. Pedro puts his arms around Britany and kisses her briefly.)
Zachary: Are you guys ready to go?
Britany: Yes, we are.
Zachary: What we were you guys doing anyway? Was something wrong?
Pedro: No, we were taking a romantic minute. I have not seen Britany in a year to a year and half. I really missed her.
Zachary: I see.

Get the Romanticalmug. Definition:
A complex, emotionally enmeshed connection between two people who used to date, kind of still do emotionally, but now insist they’re “just friends” while continuing to talk for hours, share intimate life details, flirt occasionally, and confuse everyone in their lives including themselves.
Origin:
Usually evolves after a romantic breakup that failed to properly detach due to leftover fondness, emotional codependency, or an unwillingness to lose access to the only person who truly gets your weird jokes and trauma responses.

Get the Romanticalmug. A situation that arises when one or both partners in a romantic relationship are infatuated and distracted by each other that they become oblivious to what is happening in the world around them.

Luna: Hey Ivan. How are you doing today?
Ivan does not respond to her at all.
Luna: Ivan. How are you doing?
Ivan continues not to respond. Luna turns to Sergio.
Luna: Why is Ivan not responding to me?
Sergio: He is with his girlfriend right now, whom he is easily distracted by. He is probably suffering from a romantic lens flare. I think she will be leaving in a few minutes though, which hopefully he will listen once she leaves.
