Romantic Orientation 

One's natural preference in romantic partners, not to be confused with sexual orientation, which is one's natural preference in sexual partners.
Joe: I hate girls so much. They disgust me!

Jim: Really! I always thought you were straight! We should go out someday. We could hook up!

Joe: No. I'm not attracted to men. My sexual orientation is straight, but my romantic orientation is neither. I want to fuck girls, not have a relationship with them.

Clueless Romantic 

Someone who is in love with someone but doesn't know how to be in love. The act of being a retard with love. You try and impress but are left clueless.
"That guy is such a clueless romantic!"

"She is such a clueless romantic because she tries so hard to impress but ends up doing all the wrong things."

The Jukebox Romantics 

A Five Piece punk / ska outfit from South Westchester and Long Island. Formed in 2008, they gained quick notoriety amongst the local scene due to their busy schedule of near constant shows. This dedication and effort did not go unnoticed, after releasing their first full length Self Titled album they were signed by Altercation Records. Being signed to a label opened up even more opportunities for the JBRs, as several music videos, interviews in magazines such as AMP, and shows with big name acts like Madball, Murphy's Law and the Misfits started to follow. Their success continues to accelerate after having several notches on their proverbial belts come in the name of The Vans Warped Tour, The South By Southwest Festival, and The Fest in Gainesville, Florida. With a sophomoric album release expected in early Spring of 2011, The Jukebox Romantics are to put it simply, on their fucking way.
Person 1: Yo brethren, you going to the The Jukebox Romantics show tonight?

Person 2: Hell yeah!

Case in point.

Bromantic Comedy 

A romantic comedy based on an eerily close platonic heterosexual relationship between two (or more) bros.
Rick: Hey, that movie "I Love You, Man" is an excellent example of the new genre of film that is the bromantic comedy.

Jorg: Yes, why don't we go out and watch it when we finish drinking these Busch Lites, playing Gamecube, and listening to this Jack Johnson CD!

Hopeless Romantic

a hopeless romantic to me is a person who is in love with the idea of being in love. they just want someone to care for them and hold them and tell them everything will be okay. a hopeless romantic gets attached too easily. but, they are very sweet and sincere. they hate being heartbroken. They are genuinely they best boy/girlfriend you could have. never tell them you love them unless you mean it. but fit for today's unholy standards? no way. they also have jealousy. they are not actually hopeless.
She was a hopeless romantic when she met him

romantica 

Romance novels with explicit sex.
Derived from "romance" + "erotica".

In some cases this word has been in a humorous, derrogatory, or ironic way used to point out the fact that certain novels are classified as "romance" and therefor seen as more socially acceptable, while other somewhat similar books are classified as "erotica" and recieve harsher social censure.
So you're looking for regency holiday novels with chaste heroines? It doesn't look like we many in the store. Mostly just romantica I'm afraid.
