What is Romance Rape?
1.
Appreciation of a romantic moment shared with another person to whom one is attracted, without their reciprocation or consent. Differs from fantasy in that it actually occurs, but typically to the knowledge of only the romance rapist. May occur between people of either gender, and particularly common between those of opposite sexual orientation.
v. Jen never realized that Steve wanted to be more than just friends, even after he had her over for a candlelit dinner and gazed into her eyes the whole evening. He didn't care; he just wanted to romance rape her.
n. When Dan found out one of his closest friends was gay, he suddenly thought back to every time they lay alone under the stars during a camping trip and couldn't help but wonder whether he'd been a victim of romance rape.
