it always sucks in romances when characters aren't active participants in their own relationship or attraction. when it's always "why do i feel this way" and they can't name a single reason they like the love interest i'm like idk man i think you should get out of there maybe.

at some point if you're going too hard on the Genuine Confusion and the character having no clue why they're doing anything they're doing or why they even like the other party it's like. I think you were cursed by a wizard. or an author, which is something similar. it becomes something akin to The Narrative Has Mandated That This is A Love Story and Therefore I Must Be In Love rather than like. a convincing romance between parties who care about each other

Let’s remember that what got the FBI on Philip and Elizabeth wasn’t the cases they did or all the murderous stuff, they were always extremely careful about not leaving any evidence or witnesses. It was the one romantic gesture from Philip to Elizabeth that cost them everything but their lives. Their real wedding.

Love and marriage in many ways are antithetical. One is a bolt of lightning, an epiphany. And the other is planting, tilling, tending. It’s hard work.
