hopeless romantic

A hopeless romantic has a larger heart then others, being more prone to a broken heart then the regular person. They are in love with the idea of being loved and loving back. They are NOT made for today’s standards, as they believe in the little things about true love, fairy tales, and chivalry, and truly believe that there is only one person out there for them. They get attached quickly, but they are genuinely the best boy/girl friend you could have. They are loving, caring people who give their 100%, expecting full return. They often dream of who they will spend the rest of their life with, and romanticizing what the two of them will do together. They dream to be romanced with sweet simple things and thoughtful surprises, and just want someone to care for them and hold them, and tell them everything will be okay.
a hopeless romantic is one who romanticizes about their partner and their future together

Hopeless Romantic

A definition of a Hopeless Romantic can be typed for pages really. These people have larger hearts than the rest of us. They tend to get hurt more than the regular person. It's sad to say that now and a days the romantics hide or they just lose their touch with being a Hopeless Romantic. We live in a time where everyone is hurting each other and everyone is scared to give their 100%. Hopeless Romantics don't make themselves known very often for that reason. Hopeless Romantics will give more than 100% to a relationship. They look at their partners as something that will has never been made before; that their partner was made just for them. They get hurt because of this but they remain hopeful. Hopeful that one day they find someone for them. It's also sad to say sometimes the hope dies. I honestly think they are one of the most pure things left on this planet.

If you're going to love, please give it you're all. Every ounce inside of you should go to someone.

Hopeless Romantic

A person that has good genuine intentions. Modern day romance is hell for them. They seek a person that is real and seeks true love. They want a family together and wish to remain together. They get hurt easily because they carry their heart on their sleeves, but despite this, they never loose hope of finding the love of their life. They like the feeling of being in love because it’s their natural high but know that they’ll end up hurt in the end. They typically like love songs and romantic movies. They’re also very romantic (obviously).
Person 1: *sigh* I wish I wasn’t such a hopeless romantic.

Hopeless Romantic

They are the type of person that will write you love letters, they are the type of person that wants to lay down under a tree with you looking at the stars while having a love song in the background, they are the type of person to tell you they love you 50 times a day and give endless kisses, they are in love with the idea of love, they believe that love is what makes the world turn, and when you say you love them they will be forever loyal to you and theyre heart will melt everytime, and they will never ever give up on love no matter what! They are the best boyfriend or girlfriend you can ever have, they have the purest hearts and all they do is fantasies about love and listen to love songs

Hopeless Romantic

Hopeless Romantics are NOT Hopeless per-say, but very true, caring, and loving people. They are "NOT MADE FOR TODAYS STANDARDS", sadly. They believe in passion, chivalry, and true love. They have loved sincerely at one point in their life, discovered what love feels like, and can't understand why it was not returned in the same form. Hopeless Romantics are usually dreamers, idealists, and sincere, however what they expect in any relationship is a full return for their effort and caring, to be loved as much as they loved. What makes them "Hopeless" is the fact that they are few and far between in todays daily life, and usually get let down in the long run, even though they gave all they had to give, money, love, time, housing, belongings. Hopeless Romantics give 100% ALL the time, and hope for the same in return.

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
