A hopeless romantic can be defined as someone who associates love with all aspects of life, especially when in a relationship. If you tell a guy you are a hopeless romantic, most would look at you like a deer in the headlights and hit the ground running the opposite direction. The words commitment, trust, loyalty and love just seem so unappealing to most college men. They want the girl with no strings attached, the typical college fantasy. It's a lot of work to keep a hopeless romantic genuinely happy, but I promise you it is always worth it. Here's why you should step out of your comfort, take a chance and date the hopeless romantic.
1. She will fall for you…. hard.
She has been waiting for a real relationship for awhile now, I'm sure. So, be gentle with her heart, but keep in mind that she will fall for you hard and fast. She will make you the center of her world in a matter of time. This is a good thing though. She will look to you as her rock and her best friend. She will love you through it all- the good and bad times. She will boost your spirit and be your rock as well and as much as you want to believe you're fine on your own, having a companion by your side makes life a little brighter.
2. She makes light of all situations.
A hopeless romantic relates everything to the power of love. Love is a positive thing, most of the time. When the going gets tough and the tough gets going, she will be your sun. Life can be really hard sometimes, but she will be your light through the tough times. Her blind optimism will lift your spirits and make you thankful that you took a chance on her. Hard times usually tear relationships apart, but she will make sure this relationship stays steady.
3. She understands.
She probably has seen every romantic comedy known to man. She knows of all the possible outcomes that could come of this relationship. If you had a long night at work and just need to sleep, she gets it. If you need some alone time because it's been a stressful week, she understands. She wants you to be happy and understands that you can't be together all hours of the day. She wants what is best for you because your love will become stronger that way. It all comes full circle, my friend.
4. She is not hard to please.
Anything you do for her, she will appreciate. She notices the little things. When you walk on the outside of the sidewalk so she is protected from the road, when you open the door for her, and even when you put the toilet seat down after using the bathroom at her place. Things like this she truly appreciates because she knows that you are thinking of her. The big things are nice, don't get me wrong, but the little things are what reflects how you feel about her and she notices, always.
5. The dates are unforgettable.
She gets to finally live the dates that she has been day dreaming about for years. Do want to day trip to a city and get lost? She's your girl. Do you want to hike to the top of the mountain and take in the view, get away from civilization and just take in the fresh air? She will look at you like the emoji with heart eyes. Every date, no matter what you end up doing, will be incredible. Even if you are just going to Taco Bell. She will make it unforgettable because this is what she lives for. And spending time with you is icing on the cake.
6. She is passionate.
She will love you more than you've ever been loved. She will make you her everything, putting all her energy into your relationship. Every kiss will be deep. Every stare will be heart wrenching. Everyday will be a new beginning. You will have the kind of love that makes you excited to wake up in the morning because you don't know what to expect. It's like a Rom-Com, only in real life. She will show you how she feels on the daily, not making you question a thing.
7. She will make you realize your worth.
She will make you love you as much as she loves you. She knows that you must love yourself before you can ever love another person. She sees your imperfections as unique characteristics that make you perfect in her eyes. She wants you to see how much you are worth and will make sure you know. It pains her to know that you doubt yourself or that you don't see how important you are, especially to her. She will go to the ends of the earth to make sure you know that you are valued and that you should value yourself.
8. She will make you work harder.
Not in the aspect of making her happy, but in the aspect of giving respect and knowing how to keep a relationship strong. She knows what it takes to nurture and nourish a relationship. It's hard, no matter who you are with or what the situation is. A strong relationship takes work and patience. She will make you learn how to truly value another person. Also, she will influence you to work harder to be a better person and to do all things you don't think you can do. She wants you to be a better you.
9. She wants it to last.
She will work for this relationship because it's everything she has wanted. She will make sure you know that she is in this for the long run. She wants a future. She will do what it takes to make things right, even when she doesn't agree with you or your choices. She will be patient and will talk things out with you, even if you're both up all hours of the night crying and pouring your hearts out. She doesn't want just a couple months, years or even just days. She wants to be more than just a chapter in your story. She wants to make what you have last, without question or worry.
10. She will change your life.
She will change your perspective. She will change how you feel about the scary words relationship, commitment and trust. She will make you realize that not all relationships are bad, despite how you've been hurt in the past. She will change how you view not only yourself, but the world around you. You will see how blue the sky really is and you will appreciate the world around you. You'll see the love in a strangers eyes as they stare back at their significant other at the coffee shop downtown. You will notice the little things. You will genuinely appreciate life itself because she makes you the happiest you've been in quite some time.
The hopeless romantic will make you believe in love again. Take that chance. Let yourself be happy.
