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

Roland Orzabal 

Perhaps THE most underrated male vocalist of all-time, Roland Orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous "New Wave/Pop-Rock" band Tears For Fears, along with Curt Smith. Tears For Fears made such hits as "Mad World," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Sowing the Seeds of Love," as any 80's music fan knows.

What people may not know is that Mr. Orzabal continued to kick ass as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith's departure in 1991, with the albums "Elemental" (1993), "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" (1995), and the B-side collection album "Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic" (1996), all of which feature Orzabal's stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.

Mr. Orzabal followed these up with a badass Electronic album, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" (2001), before reuniting with Curt Smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" (2004) as Tears For Fears, with Orzabal's signature wide-range vocals throughout.

30 years in the business, and lots of people still don't know who Roland Orzabal is. Now you know.
Person 1: "Roland Orzabal has to be in the Top 10 singers of all time."

Person 2: "Who the hell is Roland Orzabal?"

Person 1: "The dude from Tears For Fears."

Person 2: "Aren't there 2 dudes in Tears For Fears?"

Person 1: "Yeah, he's the one that kept the name going in the 90's."

Person 2: "Tears For Fears was around in the 90's?"

Person 1: "How do you know there were 2 dudes in Tears For Fears and not know they were around in the 90's?"

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.
She's a hopeless romantic. That's why she has hope that he'll go to her.

Grey-romantic 

A grey-romantic (gray-romantic) is a person with a romantic orientation that is somewhere between aromantic and romantic.

For example, a gray-romantic may:
-Experience romantic attraction but not very often.
-Experience romantic attraction, but not desire romantic relationships.
-Desire relationships which are not quite platonic and not quite romantic.

One type of gray-romantic is called demiromantic.

Demiromantics do not experience primary romantic attraction for a person, but are capable of experiencing secondary romantic attraction after forming an emotional connection.

Gray-romantics may also prefix a gender orientation to the label, as in "Gray-heteroromantic". See AVEN (asexuality.org) for more info.
I'm grey-romantic. I rarely have a crush, but when I do I'm not interested in a romantic relationship.

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.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
