DO YOU NO LONGER TAKE DATING AND COMMITMENT SERIOUSLY?
100% a hopeless romantic and always will be.
I want to have a deeply meaningful and powerful bond or nothing at all.
Luckily, I’m paired with my significant other, who is also a hopeless romantic.
But, I know it’s very hard for hopeless romantics to find a compatible match (other hopeless romantics are just difficult to find and even when they are found, the chemistry might not be right) so I’m thankful to have found my match.
Yes, my heart has been broken before. Really badly too.
But, I understand how love works.
It requires trust and vulnerability in order to reach a depth that feels fulfilling.
It’s a high-risk/high-reward situation. If one wants to experience the fullness of what love can be, they need to open up their heart to receive it.
Yes, by doing that one can potentially receive the greatest hurt. But also, with the right person, they can experience the greatest love.
The opposite of this is walling up, never letting anyone get too close, never trusting anyone. With that, you will avoid hurt. But, it’ll also force all your relationships to be shallow and limited.
Friendships, relationships, and familial bonds are all built on trust.
Without trust, without risk, one can’t experience love.
That’s a truth that I know and understand well.
True love is a beautiful thing. The most beautiful thing one can experience. As rare as it may be, it’s worth believing in and holding onto.
Amazing answer as usual
Haha, thanks Desii. 🙂
Hi everyone. You'll have to excuse me if I get things wrong here as I'm completely new to "Girls ask Guys" and this is my very first "Opinion"!
Personally, I consider myself to be very romantic and am sometimes considered a little old-fashioned for it, which I find quite sad! I simply love treating my partner and giving her pleasant surprises, compliments and stuff.
Last Saturday I spelled out "I love you" in chocolates on our bed, just because I do!
So many people these days just don't seem to make enough effort to make their partner feel REALLY special an it's such a shame!
Man such a great first answer

Married now, though I've found it typically cycles between being a romantic, being burned out, and needing some time. Not necessarily in that order, but you get burned by someone, you may need to take a break, have no commitments for a while, then you start getting hopeful again after a while.
So true
I’m a hopeless romantic. I don’t let my past define my present nor future relationships.
I am *hopeless concerning romance.*
Hopelessly devoted to it? I was. Not any more.
Hopeless concerning romance?
@Tstrbrainer yeah, I’m hopeless of it’s existence or success rather being hopelessly and unconditionally devoted to it..
Are you asexual?
@Tstrbrainer I was but I’ve learned to make use of my sexuality and not deny it, as when I die it will no longer be available to me. I mostly use it in a sensual format than sexual, so solo than with partners. Things kept online. I match the performance or attitude guys have towards sexuality/ romance. Just a bit, not entirely. It’s not terrible and it’s not amazinggg. It’s decent and sometimes nice.
So you don't date?
@Tstrbrainer nope tbh. If it arises, I may try it just to say that I have tried. I attempted and agreed to a LDR; dating for a duration of 4-6 months and that was a flop. I’m only open to live-time dating. LDR is fantasy
I didn't meant ldr either.
So what made you embrace your sexuality?
@Tstrbrainer the fact that it’s available to me and my nervous system is still functional. I won’t register if I still am, but back during puberty and somewhat after I was not only a passionate person, but h. s. p. Probably hyper sensual. Making that an asset is better than letting it go to waste/be vacant/dormant. I don’t over use it either. I’m logical enough to prioritize other things greater than sexuality. So it’s just a well rounded thing.
@Tstrbrainer maybe you didn’t meant ldr- that’s fine, but I brought it up in our conversation. That’s all. 😂
I def ain't devoted to it lmao
Oh okay lol😂, I just made myself clear because I didn't want to give anyone the impression that I was hitting on you yet
@DizzyDesii I’m pleased to know this because as far as I’m concerned and know. An insanely large quantity of men will not ever see romance as a concept to prioritize, or at least cherish/sentimentalize. After my experience with men- I just won’t force them to do what they clearly just don’t want to do 🤷♀️ if I can be self-sufficient and respectful towards other humans. I think I’m at least doing something right.
We ain’t criminals! Lol
@Tstrbrainer yeah no worries man. No one here is a kid 😂 Everyone has their own priorities. I’m (I think successfully) making my way from dependent upon men to just being a self sufficient specimen. Men are self sufficient for the most part. I’m looking to be an adult, not a child. 🤷♀️ call things for what they are.
Congratulations on your journey.
And the bangs look cute too. 👍
@Tstrbrainer respect it 🤜🤛 and to you the respectable same.
Thank you
Im confident in love's abilities yes. Is it as solid as a written in gold statement as much as any Disney fairy-tale? Nah, I think the fate of love is still in our hands. I think if we open ourselves and our lives, just getting out there. Love finds eachother. doesn't mean it's the right love or wrong love, doesn't mean it's the best love. But it can still be love, putting two people in a very happy place together for at least a majority of the rest of their life here. I consider that an acheivement of a lifetime. Also if I feel proven by what I've seen in someone's new partner I don't feel inclined to fight for them if I was interested. If they found someone else who I'd say seems well equipped for their love. If I can see it working for someone, I just default to let's see what love has next I guess. Not easiest at all but it feels like a better solution. Also a major reason long distance has never worked. To me it's unhealthy, extremely unhealthy to jack off to someone who isn't physically there as much as have feelings for you can't touch. And maybe for just me specifically I don't know but I've been very senitive about those things. Feelings effect my body completely. Big reason I chose retail work is to practice getting over a lot of it. Getting used to talking to attractive women without literally shitting a large wolf brand chilli canned size before and after. Just being nice, friendly and helpful for lots of different types of people. I have a ton of issues to get through myself before I'm gonna feel ready for love taking over my life romantically. If it comes along I'll take it. But I'm learning other ways to love too and somewhat enjoying that just as well I think.
I understand
I used to be a hopeless romantic, all of that crap. That was me for a bit. I was what we call a "blue pilled man."
Then at 19, I started discovering different communities, such as the Manosphere, MGTOW, and the Red Pill movement. I'm subscribed to channels on YouTube like Mediocre Tutorials and Reviews, JohnTheOther, Taylor the Fiend, and a number of others. I'm currently the age of 29, and based on the things I've seen through social experiments, my own life experiences, and because of my scientific background where I think critically and logically about things, I'm not interested anymore in dating, and Lord forbid, marriage.
I live in a world where I'm viewed as a lesser by most women because of my XY chromosomal makeup, and I'm treated badly by women on a daily basis, both in real life and through the cyber world. I also know that a woman will gain a lot more violating her marriage vows than she would by honoring them, I'd lose over 50% of what I've worked for in my life, and there's a chance I'd probably commit suicide, like many men before me, because a woman one day decided she didn't love me anymore, and decided she'd use the system to cause as much damage as possible to me.
I could go on, but you understand (I hope). It would take one heluva woman to change my life path right now, which I'm very set on.
Im genuinely sorry you’ve been through the ringer but I still pray you come across someone who changes that mindset and treats you right
@DizzyDesii I don't believe that anything will change, and I don't believe that's ever gonna happen, but I appreciate the confidence 😂
Lost the woman I was suppose to spend my life with, but, I am hopeful there is someone else.
I think I have a lot to offer that special someone still, so I am hopeful.
I am so sorry for your loss
Thanks, it is tough sometimes, but I know someday I will see her again. Not ready yet though, like to know my grandchildren and teach them some cool stuff someday.
I'm a hopeless romantic. Always have been.
I had girlfriends from the age of 16 and finally got married when I was 42.
I love the butterfly feeling of infatuation and romance.
I hate infatuation because i confuse it with love lol. I can tell lust from love but not always infatuation
Hopeless romantic here. I'm in a relationship right now and I am hoping that this is it. Hoping that this is the love you see in the movies like on 50 First Dates or He's Just Not That Into You.
Aww i hope so girly
Aww thanks!
I’m a hopeless romantic for sure!! And I know someday I’m going to meet the one. But I use my past bad experiences to stop me from repeating the same patterns.
Thats good
I guess I am especially since I am with someone I really love right now. We always love spending time together, are sex life is incredible, and we never really had a heated arguments or disagreement. Also her parents are kinda finally warming up to me for being white and looking past that and just seeing a good man for their daughter.
I believe in love wholeheartedly. But I also am a bit of a pessimist.
I don't know if I'd call myself a hopeless romantic.
I just know that in life you're going to fuck up sometimes and before any great failure you're most likely going to have many failures. So I just see my exes as a learning experience.
Thats good
Hopeless romantic. But I find it hard to find someone. Seems like no one is interested in my city. But I want to be feel love and be inlove again.
Ya too many good people got bad intentions these days
I haven't given up despite my past bad experiences. I just need time for myself now. I got a lot of things to fix in my life. At this point, I'm not ready for a relationship, even though I would like to have a boyfriend.
I am such a cynic when it comes to love. If I wasn't with my wife I'd just still be an F boy... Had too much fun and never got locked into anything.
Damn im glad she “saved” you from yourself
Deep down I'm a hopeless romantic but the fear is stopping me from going forward as if right now
Take all the time you need to overcome it
I used to let bad experiences hold me back. But my '23 New Year's resolution was to leave the past and only look forward (and that's for a lot more than just dating).
I hope everything works out
I am out of that thing even before entering in it.
Sometimes I feel that I should give myself a chance, but seeing the girls on YT and other platforms just ridicule guys, I just tell myself to be away from girls as much as I can. In college, in my future work place etc.
Dang
I know that you are an amazing girl. So I would like to ask you. Do you think I am a misogynistic person or just plain afraid?
From the little bit you said above, i dont get a misogynistic vibe from you. I just think you're overly cautious
I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in love and their is someone out there for everyone.
I fully agree!
I am more of a mix. Mostly a hopeless romantic but need some me time right now. Also some of my past experiences have gotten me to the "whatever" stage. If it doesn't work out, whatever, it was worth a try. Not going to push it. It takes just one time and I will not try again.
One time with that one person and then on to the next right? Or do you mean one time with anyone and its over for everyone?
If someone lies to me, it's over forever. But I've been through enough shit, I won't try again. The person may and maybe it'll work. I won't. If she says we're done, we're done. I won't try to change her mind or try to get her back. That usually causes more problems later on.
Ohhhh i understand. Normally infeel the same but when i really want someone i tend to break my own rules
Lol. I guess it's different when you want someone that bad. There's a woman I know I have no chance with but I still flirt with her.
Well im referring to someone i’ve had chances with but even when we have our down moments, i oddly still want them
Makes sense. It's not someone who just moved on or told you that it won't work out? What if someone told you it won't can't happen?
I’d let it go if i was told that
Where is my option?😭😭😭😭
I mean why not both I am a hopeless romantic, I love "love" but I have had some bad experiences that make me feel it's not for me.
Currently I am happy seeing others in love and feeding on their energy like a vampire🧛♂️🧛♂️
JK.
Im definitely a vampire
