Hi! I just watched a movie and there's a line where someone says "Was there a romance here?" and someone else replies it with "There's all sorts of romances." I'm just wondering what "There's all sorts of romances" really means and maybe there's description or example for this statement.
Thank you. xx

All it means is that the term "romance" can include a range of relationships.
For example: It could be simply a romantic feeling one person has for another, but they have never actually gone out together.
It could be a hidden romance, where the couple sneak in time together because their parents don't want them to be together.
