恋愛小説 ren'ai shousetsu = romance novel
初恋 hatsu koi = first love
悲恋 hiren = "sad" love; i'm guessing it's unrequited
恋 koi = love
恋は思案のほか koi wa shian no hoka = love is another type of meditation

You're probably not using the correct encoding.

thanks a lot! you really helped me out!

好きやねん - I like/love you (colloquial)
this is the Kansai dialect. it is equal to "suki dayo" in standard japanese. ya=da, nen=yo,ne

恋は思案のほか
this is a japanese proverb, something like "Love and reason do not go together", "One cannot love and be wise". hoka means 'outside' in this case.
