You’ve always dreamed of true love. The one that will make you feel all kind of intense emotiomonns.
From butterflies in your stomach to your heart beating faster when he is around.
For you, love is like a form of art. It is always a song, a sculpture, or a painting. Something beautiful that makes everyone breathless.
Like a romantic song, it can make you tear up; like a painting painted bright red and pink, it can make you stare.
It can make you feel like you are walking through fields, smelling flowers, hearing the birds chirp while a relaxing melody plays in the background.
You want to experience it all and you want it to last!
You’ve been like this since an early age. Love always felt like something special, something priceless that nothing can replace.
You watch those older couples, holding hands, fighting together through good and bad, and you want to have the love they have.
Strong and powerful, the one that gives you wings and makes everything possible; the one that makes you feel that the world is a wonderful place.
Walking around, you sense every smell and you hear every sound. Everything becomes so powerful when love knocks on your door.
You want everyone to feel the same emotions, to feel the intensity of thoughts the way people in love feel them.
If you have ever felt like this then congratulations, you can call yourself a hopeless romantic.
Hopeless romantics live in the present, but also in the future. They are torn, as they want the future to come as fast as possible.
They want to experience everything with this person standing next to them. Everything for that smile and to look into their eyes.
You tell yourself, “I am home and this is where I wanna be.” This is your world. The world of emotions and feelings, where you finally come alive.
You can dance, and sing, and scream, as you no longer care what other people will say. You are home, and everything is acceptable there.
As you wake up from a dream, you find yourself in a cold-hearted world.
No sounds, no emotions, and no colors. Everything is bland and hopeless.
“Where am I?“
People are always in a hurry, not having the time to give you even a glance. You can’t see smiles on their faces.
Like robots, we are all stuck in our micro worlds, not having time for anything else.
Welcome to the modern world!
Fast-paced, we move through the motion of time without feeling anything. Get up, go to work, get it done, repeat.
The music is not playing anymore. The colors are gray and dark. “Where have my pinks and reds gone?” you ask yourself.
People without emotions are walking by. Birds aren’t chirping. Love is not a feeling anymore.
You, a hopeless romantic, are stuck in time where nothing seems to make sense.
Moody, with robotic-like features, people march toward success. They don’t look for romance anymore.
Long-term relationships are replaced with one-night stands and casual dating.
Monkey branching, rebound relationships, open relationships, friends with benefits…
Instead of picking up a fresh flower for her, he sends her a heart emoticon, thinking that it evokes the same feeling.
None of this makes sense to you, so you decide to wait for the right one to come.
You imagine that he will be a hopeless romantic like you.
You will go for romantic walks in the rain; he will kiss you on your forehead to say goodnight and wake you up with breakfast in bed.
You will cook him his favorite dinner after a long day and make him a meaningful bracelet that will remind him of you.
Maybe he will finally appreciate your vision of romance and want to engage on a journey with you.
When you realize the way the modern world functions, you get scared that you will never find the one who will value the same things as you do.
Your adventure instantly becomes more terrifying.
As a hopeless romantic, you will come across dangerous stages that can affect you and your vision of a relationship.
In today’s world, being romantic can hurt you more than short-term relationships can.
Here are some of the things that hopeless romantics do, in order to find the one.
1. You’re always looking for ‘the one’
When you are a hopeless romantic, everyone has the potential of being the one.
You give people equal chances to win your heart which means that you will try to date a lot of them.
However, hopeless romantics don’t date the same way modern people tend to.
They always try to make a deeper connection with the person they’re dating. When that doesn’t happen, the relationship fails.
If you are constantly looking for the right one, you can find yourself in a vicious circle where nothing seems to work out.
You go out with different people but they all seem wrong for you. They don’t support your values and they just don’t sit well with you.
This is one of the main issues hopeless romantic are faced with.
They are always looking for someone which means that they can end up hurt more times.
You are constantly torn between your sincere belief that someone is truly meant for you and the reality that he will be hard to find.
However, as you know what an unsuccessful relationship looks like, you tend to appreciate it more when the right one comes along.
2. You would do anything for love
When you hopelessly believe that romance is real, you tend to dedicate yourself fully to it.
You truly believe that everyone should get a chance, which can take you down the ‘second chance’ road.
Hopeless romantics tend to give people a second chance.
Sometimes this can even mean that you will lower your standards for others as you want to give them another shot.
“Maybe he’s the one,” is the thought that’s constantly stuck in your head.
Even when you’re not in a relationship for a long time, you tend to do things that are over-the-top for the amount of time you have been together.
You are still not sure that he’s the one but the chances are that you would move country for him.
3. You feel intense emotions
When you are a hopeless romantic, everything seems to feel a bit stronger. You love harder but you also hurt harder.
When a relationship fails, you feel like your romantic vision has crumbled into pieces.
You feel like you may be the reason for the breakup so you start beating yourself up.
You will cry over a song that reminds you of you two.
Then, when you find the one who feels like he is the one, you scream from the rooftops how much you love him.
Your emotions are so strong and intense that you feel both the love and each loss in every single cell of your body (at least that’s how it feels).
4. You daydream about the perfect relationship
Hopeless romantics love to create stories inside their head, with them as the main character.
If you are a hopeless romantic, you can spend hours daydreaming and thinking about your future husband.
You think about every single detail – from the way his last name goes with yours to your kids’ eye colors.
If he’s the one then he shouldn’t worry about your wedding as you have everything planned.
Hopeless romantics are sure that one day God will send them the right man.
He will love you passionately and after that, you couldn’t imagine anyone else standing next to you.
You will feel the butterflies. Your knees will go weak when you see him.
Everything will be in slow motion, like a romantic movie with you two as the main characters.
Hopeless romantics live for this feeling. They never lose faith as they know that their time will come.
However, they can be affected by modern-day dating ways as they are opposite to their values.
It can be hard to fit in when no one seems to believe in the same things as you do. However, every experience represents a step toward your destiny.
To be a hopeless romantic can feel terrifying at times, but the reward that you get later is worth all the wait.
