A hopeless romantic is someone who is in love with love. They believe in fairy tales and love. They're not to be confused as stalkers or creepy, because that's not what a hopeless romantic is. All hopeless romantics are idealists, the sentimental dreamers, the imaginative and the fanciful when you get to know them. They often live with rose colored glasses on. They make love look like an art form with all the romantic things they do for their special someone. 

A hopeless romantic is not the same as a hopeless flirter. A hopeless romantic dreams of who they will spend the rest of their life with and what the two of them will do together. They want to be romanced with the sweet, simple things and the thoughtful, amazing surprises. They dream of being loved, but also loving somebody. They don't just want somebody to hold them; they also want to hold someone. They realize that love isn't just about one person, but both people. They are hopelessly in love with being loved and loving back.
