    I'm not asexual and even I got the whole "wait people writing love songs actually feel that way? They're not joking?" bit.

      I'm not sure the people writing them are doing so earnestly, but the people listening to them certainly are feeling that way.

        To an extent, but I've always find them to be at best grossly hyperbolic. I feel like real romance is shit like "hey lets go to that Diner we like that's open 24 hours after our late night sexcapades" or "wanna make Ramen and watch the Pokemon cartoon on my mom's netflix?" not "MY HEART BURNS WITH THE FIRE OF THE PASSION OF YOUR LOVE BABY!!!!!!!"

          I'm completely in agreement with you, but there are a lot of people, particularly teenagers navigating intense new emotions, who are all about their heartburn or whatever. Personally I think a lot of it is self-obsession, caring more about how you feel and how someone else makes you feel than caring about your partner or their feelings.
