Romantic

The terms romantic and romance refer to emotions of love and beauty, as opposed to rationality and functionality.

A romantic relationship may involve sexual behavior, but the term puts more emphasis on the emotions than on the bodily pleasures, and as far as physical intimacy is involved, less emphasis on the intimate parts.
