In life, we are often a hopeless romantic, or a realist. A hopeless romantic doesn't always pertain to relationships and love, but rather the idea that everything has a silver lining. That every situation can turn out well, and there will always be a rainbow after the storm. As a realist knows, this is not the case 100 percent of the time. A hopeless romantic will forever be in denial!

1. You love sappy, cheesy movie endings that everyone saw coming.

You could just read the movie title and a brief summary and know how the plot will play out, but as long as it ends with kisses, love, happiness, or puppies, you are satisfied.

2. You like to give out 1, 2, 3... and so on chances.

You never take what people show you about themselves at face value.

3. You believe that everyone can change into a better person.

There is an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me," and sadly a hopeless romantic will gladly keep letting someone fool them!

4. Your favorite movies consist of the many made by Nicholas Sparks.

You enjoy a feel good love story!

5. You can find yourself inside a book that you're reading.

You get anxious when anything takes a turn for the worse in the story.

6. When anything goes wrong, it causes you great frustration and you immediately want to fix it.

7. There is always a silver lining, rainbow after a thunderstorm, a solution, a reconciliation, you catch the drift!

8. You fall in love easily, with a significant other and friends alike.

You trust and open up, you put your all into relationships and let your guard down too fast.

Being a hopeless romantic can lead you to heart ache and frustration, but it can be rewarding and uplifting as well!
