It got me thinking: Would that really translate to real life? Could you really take something so intangible like love and put neat little parameters around it? I'm not quite sure, but there are some things I'm certain would go on my Relationship Agreement...

*Hand holding is discouraged in public.
*All date cancellations must be made at least one day before date was supposed to take place.
*All dates must be made at least a week in advance. Time, location and date activity must be agreed upon by both parties.
*When either party falls ill, he/she shall be showered with chicken soup and the movie of his/her choice.
Bottom line: Planning is romantic in its own way. It shows you care enough about the other person to invest a large part of yourself into making the relationship work. After all, you wouldn't make a Relationship Agreement with just anyone. It's reserved for those special people who you really feel a connection with -- those people you can see yourself with in the future. And that's a pretty special thing, if you ask me.
When I find myself in that first relationship someday, like Sheldon, I may not know what I'm doing, but I do know one thing. I'll be armed with my own version of a Relationship Agreement. Pen included.
