A person who daydreams of romantic occasions, of swaying the one they love off their feet while not thinking of what to expect in return, yet never having a chance to do so. That is where they "key" lays. The word "never" is "hopeless"; if that one person successfully attracts the other person and forms a serious relationship, then that is a successful romantic, while still performing his/her romantic acts. This is important: the romantic acts must still be performed naturally, not out of effort. It always matters how life ends, now how it starts or how it gets there (speaking in this context only at the moment). In this end, a hopeless romantic is either successful and thus becomes simply romantic (he/she is in a relationship), or just ends as hopeless if alone. There are also the type of people who just satisfy themselves with sexual partners hence not marrying; there are those who just have a serious relationship (I believe those relationships are all defect because they only married out of financial need and perhaps physical as well), and there are those who perform business marriages. This last level of marriage is simply for their respective business to prosper and keep their power. "Hopeless" is a negative word, and thus these wonderful people are just simply romantic, there is nothing hopeless about them. Simply put, you are either "hopeless" or you are "romantic". Refer above to "the end". Hopeless romantic is just an insult, calling caring and loving people hopeless. Too rude.
