The main evidence that it doesn't exist is that most people in romantic relationships fight a lot with each other, and most romantic couples end up breaking up or getting a divorce and then they start hating each other after the break up and divorce. I think romance love doesn't exist at all, and is nothing but a type of lust. This website also explains why romance love doesn't exist: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/vdbjpj/science-says-love-doesnt-exist While I don't believe that romance love exists, I do believe other types of love exists like platonic love. One huge thing that proves that platonic love exists is the fact that bestfriends will most likely stay with a person and love them till the end (unlike a romantic partner).

I am going on a week's vacation starting next weekend. I'm on friendly terms with the lady who lives across the hall. I lug her groceries once a week up for her, and she's offered to pay me but that wouldn't feel right. But she invites me to dinner once a month or so, and then we play Scrabble. Feeding my fish (a Beta) will require her to come in my place twice a day. It feels weird to offer to pay her, and I don't know what would be an appropriate amount. So I have decided to give her a thank you gift basket. From lugging her grocieries I know she likes Caffeine Free Diet Cokes, and Pepperidge Farm Cookies. So I thought I'd get a gift basket and fill it with a couple of the cokes she likes, two or three crossword books (I'm assuming someone who likes Scrabble will also like Crossword puzzles), and a bag of the cookies. That will come out to about $10., which is what I would offer her if I was going to offer her cash. My only question is do I wait until I get back to present it to her in person, or do I leave it for her to see (with a card with "For Linda" on in front) when she comes in that first day?
