What's the difference between Romantic and Sexy?

[hottprof]

I thought this would be a fun little thread to start to see what others think the difference is between Romantic and Sexy.

Is there a difference?
Are they one in the same?
What about that fine line between the two?

Just curious as to what others opinions are about it.

Oh, I'll bet you'll get a fun little thread out of this!!

I could get into ALL kinds of wild fun and trouble here! But, I will not. (TOO SHY with my private stuff!)

The two are generally overlapping for me though! And you can have one, but not the other. Also, you can have BOTH, individually and separated. THAT IS FUN TOO!!!

I enjoy the BLEND. (However, just GOOD HOT SEXY is... quite "alright".)

OK, enough... (!) have FUN here!!

Ms. Diva's hit the nail on the head for me...

Although, I can see when the two blend into each other--and I must say that I like it better that way ;)

For instance: Dollin' up :spruceup: for a fancy dinner :toast: + conversation & flirting (which can be both sexy & romantic) = :fallenangel: [insert your favorite naughty emoticon here]
