romanticism

old school romantic

A person who views all relationships as a quest to find their soul mate, and does not pursue relationships for any other reason.

Additionally, there is usually little interest in random sexual encounters, as many believe the best physical relationship comes from a strong emotional one.
Mac has never had a one night stand, because he only wants to find his "true love", the idiot.
He's one of those old school romantics, so convinced "she" is out there.

Hopeful Romantic

The opposite of a hopeless romantic. The hopeful romantic is someone who loves the idea of love, but also lives in the real world. They see the world as full of possibilities to find their love. They know that they will find someone to love, or may have already found that someone. They see the world optimistically because they know from experience that things are pretty good. Hopeful romantics take their time, don't rush into things and, instead, play the field.
"I love Ben Lee's music. He's such a hopeful romantic."

Person 1: "Dude, you've been single for six months. Why are you so happy?"
Person 2: "What can I say? I'm a hopeful romantic."

romantic

a romantic is a person who believes in romanticism, which is like a philosophy on life. Romantics love nature, old things like castles and churches, love poetry and beauty, and have a tendency to get carried away by ideas. This can be both bad and good, as most of the original romantics stood up for their beliefs and greatly helped England, but also went to help people in revolutions and got killed. They also tend to get randomly depressed, but this is because the weather and colors and beatiful things make them act differently than others.
Lord Byron was the greatest romantic who will ever live.

romantic ambiguity

This romantic ambiguity is often reflected in conversations with people who are single.

When asked to define their romantic status, they give answers like, "Well, it's sort of up in the air ..." and "It's really complicated!" and "How much time do you have?" and "I would define it as, hmm, dating? Ish? Dating-ish?"
