Would you consider yourself a hopeless romantic or just a romantic?

[Simslover92]

Here's Google definition of the two:

Being a romantic means appreciating love and beauty in relationships, while a hopeless romantic takes it to an extreme, often ignoring red flags, believing in fairy-tale destiny (one true love), and prioritizing romance above all else, potentially leading to unhealthy patterns, whereas a healthy romantic sees love realistically and handles challenges as growth opportunities.

Would definitely put myself more in the "hopeless romantic" category. That description seemed pretty bang on for me, not that it's anything to brag about 😅

[Simslover92]

Same here 😅

[HawkPerception]

Cheers to us. Heaven knows we need a damn drink for that 😂

[Simslover92]

Haha definitely 😂

[Anonymous]

I guess I can be a bit of both.

Thanks for MHO

Being a relationship coach, my aim here on Girls Ask Guys is to sprinkle some love wisdom with a pinch of fun! 😏 I'm more of a classic romantic. While I absolutely adore romance, I also believe in balancing love fairy tales with reality. Ignoring red flags is a major no-no—because, let's be honest, true fairy tales actually involve dragons, not doormats! 😂 Keep the magic alive without losing your grip on what’s real! 🪄❤️

Romantic.

Hopeless romantics may be genuinely good people who are looking for the right things. Who project who they are on others assuming they’re wanting the same thing, only to get burned time and time again. Because some people don’t have their best intentions at heart. Some people are manipulative wanting control, others want financial gain, social status, access to resources, some want sex, and the list goes on. But they don’t see that.

Others are narcissists with standards so high but they refuse to ever hold themselves to those same standards. The people they want reject them… and they become very bitter people. They have delusions. They have fantasyland ideas.

Im a little of more both plus plus 30 more i'm very happy I am very spontaneous so depending on that moment, I'm going to change it up.

I guess a hopeless romantic is only hopeless when they are not meeting someone who’s on their level.

[OlderAndWiser]

Neither. I consider myself to be a hopeful romantic! After all, I found love when I was 65 years old.

[CalmUntilAbused]

Every romantic is a hopeless romantic, at least when it comes to love (the word does have other meanings outside of love). This first definition is about being mature enough for relationships, not about being a romantic. If You cannot appreciate (on a rational level) love and beauty in a relationship, You are simply not ready for one. The very point of being a romantic is being irrational and out of touch with reality, so no romantic can actually see love realistically.

On a side note, it is very much supposed to be one true love... A marriage is supposed to be until death does part the couple. It's just far more complex to find love like that than a romantic would expect it to be.

I'm a healthy romantic. Dated many girls, had me share of heart breaks etc so I have a realistic view on relationships and by expectations are balanced. However I do believe in fairytale-like relationships, but I think it only works when you find someone who you truly connect with on most levels. My current girlfriend of a year and and half have a really amazing thing going, and we never get tired of each other. We have our share of difficulties but I still consider it as like a fairytale because no matter what's the problem, we never let our hearts get far from each other

[Quetaismymiddlename]

So that’s why you come in my messages and insult me.

[Bitter_Sweet94]

I’d say I’m a romantic, not hopeless

I believe in connection, effort, and choosing love consciously, rather than losing myself in it blindly.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Neither, more of someone who enjoys the entertainment of the romance genre but never participates in it

[Spencer10]

Def a romantic... but also def not hopeless.

[lilBigPotato]

No, if anything I'm the opposite. I'm a glass half empty kind of girl

[Alex-Snow]

Neither at the moment. I am in college and enjoy being single with just a casual friends with benefits for some fun sex.

[Shiprex]

Not really romantic at all but like doing things for someone

[WonderingManII]

just a romantic but one woman from Canada called me a hopeless romantic

[dudeinohio]

Healthy romantic. I can evaluate a situation and back out if necessary.

[ABC1x1x]

Suicidal romantic. Hopeless still has hope in the word. Im far past that.

[sage2021]

Just a healthy romantic. A normal romantic.

[Nikki1989]

When I fall in love, I fall hard.

[RavVid]

Was hopeless but converted to being non-romantic

[WhitneySnow]
