A hopeless romantic is an expression describing a person who has romantic notions about life. For a hopeless romantic: life = love. Especially when that person is involved in a relationship - He/she thinks about love and romantic relationships in a different way than other people.
People considered to be hopeless romantics can also be described as “dreamers”, “daydreamers”, “idealists”, or “sentimental”. These descriptions all describe a particular personality. The "hopeless" part might be due to the way these people perceive the world - in a dream-like, wishy-washy, perhaps unrealistic manner. Hopeless romantics have lofty or elaborate expectations, not just about love, but also about life itself. According to some, more "rational", "practical" thinkers, these people are considered fools, for their romantic notions about life. They build an idea up about love, and are usually doomed to perpetually search for a relationship that will satisfy them, although their own expectations are so dream-like that they are not easy to fulfill.
I am a Hopeful Romantic. I am a Daydreamer: Idealists, a Sentimental person who views the world in a dream-like, wishy-washy way who has expectations of love and life itself because Love is Life to me.
I am hopeful because I do not have unrealistic, lofty, elaborate expectations of said love and life. I hope that I will be given those dreams; the love I crave to give and receive and live a life I deem worth living. The idea I built up of love and relationships do not make me a fool. I am not doomed to perpetually search for something that will satisfy that idea. My expectations are not so dream-like to not be easily fulfilled. I know this because I have been given that love, the relationship I hoped and dreamed to be lucky enough to have some day. I am living the life I deemed worthy. I am hopeful that I will continue to live this life and hold the love, which was given to me and cherish the wonderfully exciting and intimidating relationship I have been blessed to find. And I hope I can give them the same in return. To make them feel like they have been given a love few can call reality instead of a hopeless dream.
