Hopeless Devotion 

That feeling in your stomach when you see her
Why you keep your phone in your pocket at all times just in case he calls
Why you'll let her steal your sweater even though it's cold out
The force that drove you to post all those sappy love poems onto facebook in hopes that he will maybe just maybe read them & realize how truly beautiful you are
What's keeping you up all night on MSN hoping she'll sign in & talk to you
something that isn't quite/once was/a very large part of love
It was 11 'o' clock at night, I was just about to go to bed when he called & asked me to do his school project that was due the next morning. It took me two hours I was tired & honestly did not want to do it but I did it. Why? I am hopelessly devoted to him. That's Hopeless Devotion

A pairing from Final Fantasy XIII/XIII-2, including the characters Lightning Farron and Hope Estheim. Other names for the ship would include hopurai and hopelight.

A rather popular ship within the FFXIII/XIII-2 fandom, the pairing depends on the timeline specified by the shipper; if from the first game, a fourteen-year-old Hope and a twenty-one-year-old Lightning, a pairing that is somewhat less popular due to claims of the ship being pedophilic, or being more commonly looked upon as a brother/sister or friend pairing. The ship from the second game is a bit more common as the age difference is considerably reduced, with Hope being twenty-four/twenty-six and Lightning remaining twenty-one due to incidents in Valhalla and pertaining to time travel.
The pairing has become increasingly popular over the course of the years, reason being the sudden jump in age for Hope, thus permitting the two characters to become more suitable for each other and allowing more chances for the ship to become canon, as he is seen being a teenage boy to suddenly becoming the twenty-four-year-old, diligent, highly respected, and attractive Director of the Academy. If one chooses to search up words such as "hoperai fanfic" or "hope and lightning fanart", there is a high chance they will soon become engulfed by the ship - willlingly or not - given by the search results.
Example 1:

Person A: "Hey, have you seen Hope's CGI render for Final Fantasy XIII-2?"
Person B: "Oh my God, yes. He's so hot."
Person A: "He'd be really cute with Lightning, wouldn't he?"
Person B: "He would! They're my new otp."

Example 2:

Person A: "My favorite ship is hoperai."
Person B: "That's so cute! I ship it, too. Aren't they perfect for each other?"

Example 3:

Person A: "My favorite ship is hoperai from Final Fantasy XIII."
Person B: "Really? I think Hope and Lightning have a more platonic relationship, but that's okay, too. I mean, it's a ship you like, right? Nothing wrong with that."

Hopeless Romantic

A hopeless romantic is a person who believes in all the little things about love, despite painful burns and heart shattering scenarios. And even after all this, deep inside won't give up on the idea that true does exisit. A well intentioned heart who seems to find love in all the wrong places but who's heart never spoils

Or

A hopeless romantic is someone who in spite of either always being turned down or not being able to find someone truly compatible with them still gives effort into the attempt to find themselves a romantic connection.
A Hopeless Romantic really reminds me of movies like Serendipity, where they find little signs that they are meant to be together, that fate and destiny do play a role in our lives.

Hopeless romantic

A hopeless romantic is a person who truly believes in love. No matter how many times the have been rejected, heartbroken, or turned down, they still try to find the right partner and still haven’t lost hope in love.
“Oh, she’s a hopeless romantic- which means she is never going to give up on finding true love.”
Because Holland is filled with hoes.
