Reverse Romantic

A person in a relationship, generally the male, who starts to become MORE romantic as the relationship goes past the dating phase, and maybe even start years after. Generally, people tend to be romantic only in the very beginning of their relationships, and become less enthusiastic and romantic for the remainder of the relationship. A Reverse Romantic would be the opposite.

"Usually I date men that start romantic, but stop being romantic in about 2 months into our relationship. Dennis didn't start getting truly romantic until we were married! He opens my door now, buys me flowers, and even treats me like a queen. I asked him "why now"?, and he said he would rather give me a genuine lifetime of romance, than just the temporary romance most guys show in the beginning. He wanted our relationship to be more fun, romantic, and get BETTER with time. He's a Reverse Romantic!"

hopeless romantic

A hopeless romantic is not the same as a hopeless flirter. A hopeless romantic dreams of who they will spend the rest of their life with and what the two of them will do together. They want to be romanced with sweet simple things and the thoughtful amazing surprises. They dream of being loved but also loving somebody. They don't just want somebody to hold them. they also want to hold someone. They realize that love isn't just about one person but both people. they are hopelessly in love with being loved AND loving back.

My friends is a perfect example of someone who isn't a hopeless romantic. She says she wants to be romanced but she flirts with every guy. And I mean EVERY guy. She calls herself a hopeless romantic but shes not. Once she has a guy that just wants to love her shes get bored after two weeks and then when he gets a new girlfriend she suddenly likes him again. Thats not hopeless romantic thats just hopeless.

Romantic Vamprism

A personality condition in which someone uses feelings of "love" as a fuel source rather than a passion. People who suffer from Romantic Vamprism see love interests as outlets for attention, lust, confidence, and little more. Once their partner can't provide a needed amount of those things, they leave them behind for another victim. It's an addiction to the essence of love, not the details that make it last.

Romantic Vamprism is not easy to spot. Those who have it can be quite charming and outwardly appealing; it's their motive for love that gives them the condition. To them, a partner is a puppet for sexual and emotional energy, with little or no reason to keep them once they've served their purpose.

The "magnificent bastards" of heartbreaking, if you will.

"I'm in love with you!"

"Really now. I'm in love with your love."

"What about...you know...me?"

"Yes, yes, you too dear. I suppose. (For now...)"

Romantic Vamprism at it's finest.

romantically frustrated

A type of frustration that arises from being single and wanting to be in a romantic relationship, yet you can’t seem to find a person who you are interested in and is willing to have one with you, or being in a romantic relationship where your needs are not being met adequately. The solution to the later may be to talk to your partner about how you feel about where your relationship is going and discuss your needs with them to see if you and your partner can find a way to work things out so both of you are having your needs met.

Derek: Why has Sasha been seeming to be so sad lately?
Kelsey: She is romantically frustrated. Her boyfriend barely spends any time with her these days because he is so busy with his job. As a result, her romantic needs are not being adequately met; so she is really sad these days.
Derek: She should talk to him about it and see if they work something out so both of their needs are being met adequately.

Kelsey: Good idea. I’ll suggest that to her the next time I see her.

Semi-romantic

Similarly to semisexual (Someone who experiences sexual attraction but no desire to act on it)

Semi-romantic experiences romantic attraction but has no desire to date anymore. Might fantasize about dating but when it comes down to it... is really not interested!

p1: Why are you still single?
P2: I'm Semi-romantic, I'm not really into dating.
p1: Oh same! I need a break from dating too, It's just too difficult!
p2: I'm not taking a break from dating, Although I can fall in love, I'm not interested in going anywhere with it. I haven't lost the desire cuz I never had it.
p1: ...
p2: ...
p1: I'm sure that yo-
p2: Becky, just shut up...

Molto romantico

When you go to a scenic destination that happens to also be very dangerous so you use it to downplay just how fucked you are. Normally used in the context of adventures, DnD campaigns, or by a group of quirky protagonists with a penchant for disaster.

"Well! This is nice scenery, I'd admit! Very beautiful as long as you don't think about the water looking like blood, or how many people would have to die to spill this much blood, eh? Hahaha... Molto romantico!"

"Man this place sure is cold. Imagine if we get lost and people find our dead bodies frozen in an embrace. It is as you say uh... Molto romantico."
