What's Love Got to do With It?

United States v. Reeves (2nd Cir., 2010):

We easily conclude that people of common intelligence (or, for that matter, of high intelligence) would find it impossible to agree on the proper [definition of] a “significant romantic relationship.” What makes a relationship “romantic,” let alone “significant” in its romantic depth, can be the subject of endless debate that varies across generations, regions, and genders. For some, it would involve the exchange of gifts such as flowers or chocolates; for others, it would depend on acts of physical intimacy; and for still others, all of these elements could be present yet the relationship, without a promise of exclusivity, would not be “significant.” The history of romance is replete with precisely these blurred lines and misunderstandings.
