The sting of heartbreak and the ache of loneliness is tough to take. It'd make a cynic out of anyone.
Also, I hate to say it but the immaturity about relationships doesn't stop once you reach adulthood. Plenty of people are still stuck in that 15 year old "Oooooo I love him so much!!!!!1!" mode.
Me, I love to flirt because it makes the intended target smile, and I like making people feel good about themselves and smile. I like romance for exactly what El Dinero said: for a moment either you or the person you're romancing is the center of the universe, and that is a very good feeling. As for love... It's probably the scariest thing you'll ever encounter. It makes you terrified and happy and deeply insightful but so confused all at the same time. And it stays with you. It leaves marks on you that you wouldn't even believe.
