10 Signs You're A Hopeless Romantic

Honestly, it is hard to be a hopeless romantic these days because we are rare, and slightly unappreciated.

10 Signs You're A Hopeless Romantic
Animal New York

You'll want to read this if you find yourself always at war with love. If you find yourself agreeing with these traits of being a hopeless romantic, then you just might be one. If you are, that is okay, it's not the end of the world, now you just have a better understanding of yourself on the spectrum of love.

1. You cry at any type of movie.

Let's face it. Seeing a version of you on TV just gets you emotional. You're the type to cry at horror movie because the ghost or killer killed the pet to distract the family. That could've been your cat!

2. You cry watching sad commercials. (Or maybe that's just me..?)

Oh geez. Whenever those animal commercials come on, here come the waterfalls. Animals bring out the sensitive side of you, and once it comes out, it's hard to make go away again.

3. You can relate to every song that talks about love and/or relationships.

Your life is a music video. When you're happy and that one song comes on that talks about the good stuff in a relationship, then your day has been made. The flip side however, when you're down and feeling your sad feelings, and that sad song comes on that pours alcohol into your past wounds, it's all over.

4. You fall for people easily.

Once you start to pursue someone, get to know them, and feel the mutual feelings, it's all over. If you're just beginning to tune into your passion of love, you might find yourself with multiple crushes, but as you grow and understand what you really connect with, your number of crushes will drop significantly to that one person.

5. You're not the type to flirt with multiple people at one time.

When you do understand what you click with, you'll only be focused on that one person. It's not that you want to just focus on that individual, but it's like you cannot physically direct your attention to any else. Love is very satisfying.

6. You're pro long-term relationships.

You don't do one night stands. You don't care for the hookup culture. You just don't find any pleasure in it. You value any and all forms of intimacy, and would rather engage with someone you have some type of established relationship.

7. You're the type of person to write letters to your lover.

Writing letters are one of the corny romantic things you do for your lover. It's okay to value "old-fashioned" ways of expressing your love. It seems more authentic, and they are definitely going to be cherished more than long paragraphs sent at 3 am, but those are cute too.


8. You make your relationships your highest priority.

Sometimes you lose track of your own life. Life in general. This could be your downfall because, you have to keep in mind that other aspects of your life don't revolve around your love life. You just have to prioritize.

9. You fall in love with the little things.

To you, the physical intimacy isn't really the big factor in how you fall for someone. It's those teeny-tiny things that make you happy.

10. You don't have a defined preference.

You have a very vague set of traits that you find appealing in a lover, but nothing is set in stone about your type. You're the type of person who could fall for someone who is the complete opposite of you, or fall for someone who is your other half. No one can say, and neither can you. When you fall, you fall.

After reading this and you feel like you've found a bit of yourself, you're welcome. Honestly, it is hard to be a hopeless romantic these days because we are rare, and slightly unappreciated. Not many people in today's society really value us, however, every pot finds a lid so remember, there is someone in this world who would gladly appreciate you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
