Hopeless Romantic

[gdg]

I am a hopeless romantic, my heart melts with every sappy love story/chick flick I watch. I long for the "fairy tale". Is being a hopeless romantic bad? Should people like me just wake up and get a grip? Are u a romantic too?

[sweetnspicy]

yes i am...sniff, sniff, happy ending, fairy tale.....box of tissues......

Yep all that and more. You are not alone. Girls are suppose to be that way.. We grew up on all the fairly tales.

[Icarus]

I've gotten bored with the happy endings. I like a Shakespearian ending where everyone, or most everyone, gets whats coming, like Hamlet. Or at least an ending that makes one think.

Sounds like one of my favorite movies: Misery by Stephen King

It is NOT bad. There is nothing wrong with believing in love. You can't change who you are anyway so embrace who you are.

I myself am not a hopeless romantic. I am a tough chick.:wub

[sexytiger]

Believe it or not the Sexy Tiger is a romantic as well. I love a good love story... i don't get to watch them that often. So if you want to see a grown Tiger cry, come over and snuggle up and will watch Sweet November.

I am also a hopeless romantic... it sucks... I want the fairy tale ending... but damn it all... not happening... I am good with it... I can make it... I think.... but I am glad to see that others can have what I desire...

[sexytiger]

You'll make it scoob... you have so many good friends to support you. :hug:

[WandaRing]

I am not a depressed or angry person but I am sorry, I don't believe in the fairy tale endings that Hollywood portrays. I guess something happens to your heart and brain, when you see a lot of crap happen to yourself and to people around you. I gave up on the hope of happy endings and that everything will work out when I went into foster care and saw the world for what it really was...

When you're 13-18 and have to stand up to adults who are supposed to protect you, but end up abusing you, or finding out through the NEWS that your 8 year old foster brother was murdered by his father, or that adults can lie and have you committed any time they want, and that people say I love you and leave you... either by choice, circumstances or by death.

I just can't believe in the "happy ever after." I do believe that we make our life what we want it to be, by the choices we make and the attitude we keep.

I think you need to find someone who makes you believe in the fairy tale ending... they are out there... and when you meet them you just know... I will say that we don't always find that person.... not until we believe enough in ourselves to find him/her

[private beaches]

Even though I'm a bit of a tomboy, I'm still a hopeless romantic. Still believe in happy endings, love conquers all, always a love good sappy movie, and all that other mushy stuff. Geez, I'm making myself sick here!

[Ally]

I go through stages....sometimes I am a hopeless romantic wanting the fairytale kind of love. Other times I am more of a realist and don't think it's realistic or fair to expect that from someone. Right now I am a realist and will not expect much from people.

[NotTooGirly]

Is being a hopeless romantic bad?

Does it work for you, does it make you happy? Then it's not bad. :))):

Should people like me just wake up and get a grip?

Anyone who says that needs to get a grip themselves. Why should they care if you are a hopeless romantic? Unless you are out trying to infect the non-romantics, it should be live and let live.

Are u a romantic too?

Me...no, not so much. Which is not to say I don't have hopes and dreams, but in a different way than what most would call "romantic." And I definitely believe in love - wild horses couldn't drag that out of me, not now especially.

The world needs realists and romantics, hopeless and otherwise. There is plenty of room for everyone to make his or her own fairy tale. :gs

[Han Solo]

I am a tough chick.:wub

:rolleyes:

[Atrebla Rose]

I am a hopeless romantic, a tender heart, cry at the drop of a hat, and believe in happily ever after. And I am proud of it! My days are a lot happier than the grouch, pessimist, or the person who doesn't have a good outlook. I am sure of that!

[Heart]

I am a hopeless romantic, too! I love sappy stories.....My myspace is full of all of my favorite movies....I read romance novels like crazy....I love anything that depicts love, lust, and forbidden well...ya know what I mean :)

omg....and if you get embarrassed about ppl crying at theaters....don't take me!

[WandaRing]

I'm not saying that I don't like romance movies...there are a lot of great ones out there but I just can't see them happening in real life

[MrHyde]

I thought I wasn't....then she turned me into a big mushy dude.....that one has too much power.....lol

[MrHyde]

Wouldn't trade it for the world.

[Me]

I never believed that those fairytale endings existed. but I do believe that when you find your soulmate you can create your own fairytale... and it feels amazing

[redcat]

Is there such a thing as a realistic romantic? Sure, I'd enjoy the fairy tale ending, but then I dry my eyes and remember the real world. No, that's not cynicism you hear - we just have to make the best of what's going on around us and try to improve on those things we're not happy about.

btw - While they may not be hopeless romantics, I think many men would like to have the happily ever after, too.

Okay, gotta quit thinking about this subject now...*sniff*...dang, where are the tissues?

[Luna]

oops.. posted twice.. removing this one.. doh!

[Luna]

don't give up!

I think I am a hopeless romatic at heard. I love a good tear-jerker when it comes to movies. It's great to be up late alone watching a movie and bawling my eyes out. I enjoy the escape and the release. :)

I think there is... for you and for me... I found mine and I let him get away... or rather pushed him away... I just keep hoping that there will one day be another... I just won't look for him.. maybe.... just maybe he will find me...

So true about us men---we are hopeless romantics, if we let a woman ever dig deep enough to find out. :)

[sassynsweet]

i am not a hopeless romantic.. i am a HOPEFUL romantic! When I got married, I knew it was wrong at the time. I came to believe that what I was wanting, seeking, yearning for did not exist, so to myself, and to him, I said.. sure, why not? Maybe this is all there is.. and if so.. I might as well grab it. We'd been living together for 4 years, so it's not like I didn't know. After 6 more years, I looked at him and would get sad at the idea of growing old together.. so I decided to make a change.

I am still hopeful. I know of several couples in my life that are truly happy together. Sure they argue, even have some serious fights.. but they LOVE. And that's what I want. I want to be the old couple in the park at 83 sitting on the bench holding hands watching the swans. In the meantime, I am content with myself .. making some personal changes to make myself better for me, and growing in knowledge of who I am and what makes me truly happy! Time well spent :)

Sassy, now you have a key tro be happy.:you can only change yourself..

[sassynsweet]

Sassy, now you have a key tro be happy.:you can only change yourself..
lol i know yaser... it was a hard lesson... but one well worth learning! I am a daily reciter of the serenity prayer ... "God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference". I try daily to accept people for who they are.. and from that, determine how they fit into my life and at what levels. I try to find the courage to change myself to be better every day in some way.

But that said .. I am still hopeful to share this life .. and will remain forever a hopeful romantic!

well said, only I am not looking for it... I am also working on myself first... if I was meant to find that person who I could love and who could love me in return I would be very content... but for now... I will be happy being alone... and if it happens it happens... I can't force it.. and I don't want to force it.. I am hoping that one day it will happen but I will be totally satisfied if it doesn't... I have grown... I am strong... I will be ok alone if I need to be that way... but it sure would be nice to share the rest of my life with someone who makes me smile... laugh.. and love...

[MiSt09]

I don't know about hopeless...but I am romantic!

[TammyE]

I am definitely a hopeless romantic. Don't believe in fairytale endings anymore, though. I've been married for 20 years, and have never really been "in love" with my husband. I did meet someone last winter that I would love to share forever with, but unfortunately all he wants is a fuck buddy. I'm 45, and while that's not necessarily old, I just don't feel like there's anything out there for me. At least when I was young, and even the earlier years of my marriage, I figured there was some bright future out there for me with my soulmate someday.

[cherri]

I am very romantic when it comes to being good to someone and showering them with attention and affection, and just letting them know how important they are to me. I try to show and convey how I feel. Not hide them. I want them to feel good, and be genuinely happy. If I can make that happen, then I will at least try. I will admit to being more of steamy romantic. My whole world revolves around sex, and it shows. I know that it is nearly impossible to achieve the "fairtale romance"-nothing ever seems to work out the way you want it. But you can't say I don't at least give it a good try. Making the relationship more steamier and more pleasurable is only a bonus for both parties involved.

[john30]

i love being a romantic, making a woman feel special is very important to me.

[gdg]

Love all the comments. Although I am hopeless, I am also realistic and am completely aware life is not a movie or novel. It all seems wonderful but is not really obtainable.
Love and romance means so many different things to different people. Maybe the key is finding someone who shares some of your ideas/feelings about love and romance.

[Icarus]

I just remembered a good one I recently watched, Atonement. Don't watch this movie if you are already down.

[gina99]

Thank u yaser. Also believe in miracles and soulmates, too.

[fourisit]

I had a co worker once that I was talking to and said how my husband hated when I read romances bec he said real life is not like that. He looked at me and said..Well why not? Its his choice how he treats you and you him so you can have that fairy tale.


I am a hopeless romantic too and am proud of it

[michigan_lady]

I sure am!! Love a good chick flick. Most of them will make me cry. Lots of "Awwwwwwww" 's come out of my mouth.

[Loves2Flirt]

I'm a HUGE romantic! I love a good movie that makes my heart pitter patter or a book that I cannot put down! More than anything, a man that can just melt me with a few words. :wy I will quickly lose my heart to him....... :inlve

[scoobertina]

I hear you loves... while it takes time for me to actually fall in love... I do love romances of all kinds... my son used to laugh at me for crying at movies... I cry because I am so sad or happy but the story line... and because that is who I am...

[FizProf]

For what it's worth, I went teary after the last time I heard Garrick Ohlson play MOzart

[phantomkreeper]

I have fallen for you!!! It is hard for me to say it sometimes and express it in the limited time we have together, but I have told you this before. I'm not the best person at letting my feelings out of to share them because often you get stepped on or even laughed at. But once again Scoob you are very special to me al I always want you in my life! :inlve

I love chick flicks. Kind of stupid for a guy but, thats just me. Do I believe in the one tue soulmate? No, I'm past that

Yeah, I believe there is more than ONE person out there for a person, too.

[Coach74]

How could a guy not be romantic if he finds a girl who makes his head spin. You'd want to please her anyway you could, emotionally, mentally and physically.

[Catman354]

I'm glad this is a forum and I don't know many guys here. I am a hopeless romantic, I always tear up at sad movies and my wife laughs at me. Its crazy.

I agree.........women seem to have a feeling that men are only looking out for themselves in a relationship, that they have have no feelings, or that they they just dont care.......that is such b.s. At least in some men anyway. I love my wife, I respect and admire women as much as men and in some respects even more. I enjoy the intimacy a man can share with a women as well as the responsibility of a man to give and fullfill the pleasure of that relatioship. Im with you Catman, I cry at sad movies too and I think my wife is thankful I do.

It's not crazy, it's someone to share kleenex with. The box mind you not the same kleenex, ewww.

It is NOT bad. There is nothing wrong with believing in love. You can't change who you are anyway so embrace who you are.

I myself am not a hopeless romantic. I am a tough chick.:wub
