Romance means feelings of love while chemistry between two people means a powerful attraction -usually sexual. As to admirology I haved never heard this term and it is not in the dictionary. However, it seems to be related to the word admire - possibly it is intended to meav deep respect or admiration. Where did you come across the word?

:)

Hi Horsa,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to tell you that :oops: it was me who mentioned the word 'chemistry', are you sure that it means sexual attraction? I only meant possible attraction... my bf replied ((Chemistry Then! i thought it might be admire-ology)) ... did i go so far without need?

thanks

Thank you for your reply Horsa, I did not mean what you mentioned in your reply about 'chemistry' that it means sexual attraction ... are you sure ??:oops:...
It was my bf who replied 'i thought it was admir-ology rather than chemistry'.
Would you kindly explain what he meant here?
Thanks again

It does but not in the way you think. I didn't mean that the two immediately ...:oops: Just that the attraction and closeness between them is very strong and immediate. It usually is said about people in the very early stages of a relationship when they constantly want to be together and it is usually obvious to all around them.

I missed the fact that at least one of you is a native speaker. :) I'm not sure what your boyfriend meant as I have no idea what admirology is.

Out of interest I checked the Oxford Dictionary and it says that one of the meanings is - "colloquial sexual attraction"

However, don't worry about it as I said it doesn't mean ... :oops: just that the attraction is strong and mutual.

Hope I haven't caused you a problem with your bf
