I find romantic guys extremely boring haha i like action and drama lol
I dont like poems or songs or any of that stuff. To me whats important its to find someone that make me laugh and that I can have fun with.

this reminds me of a movie i watched. it's called he loves me, he loves me not, and a very famous french actress audrey tatou acts in it... has anyone else watched it? in the end its revealed that the girl whom everyone previously thought was just insufferably clingy had this condition called erotomania, you can go google it(:

It is the person's insecurity. A mentally battered, weak willed person who is desperate for love and affection = hopeless romantic. He doesnt need a gf or you...he needs a psychiatrist. And I say this wihtout sarcasm or cruelty.

The aforementioned dude = in love with love and is insecure.

Natural = the sweet things happen naturally. Like if you're walking down the street, holding hands, and it suddenly starts to rain? To the third party, it might seem like hopeless romantic kids. But it wasn't planned or anything. You just make the most of that moment that was given to you. It happens naturally and then becomes something that you can't forget. :]

Planning out the romantic things, however, are sometimes sweet (like a single flower when you're feeling down/Valentine's day, etc.) but overdoing it would make the other person in the relationship question what you're truly in love with - the person...? Or love?

My current BF was kind of creepy like that at first. We went on like one date and I just happened to be at his house on Sweetest Day and he bought me a dozen roses when I barely knew him. It was really sweet, because he wasn't like professing his love or anything. Pretty much the first month was a haze of him spoiling me like crazy, being a gentleman and opening doors, not letting me pay for anything, getting me flowers when I was sad or for no reason. But then I realized that he's a genuinely nice person and just likes to make people happy. And once I told him he was coming on really strong with everything and he backed off for a bit until we actually knew each other better. And now we've been together for a year and a half.

this caught my attention because that's how my boyfriend is. i've been with him for two years, and at first it was cute. however now, i'm having trouble deciding if i'm in love with him, or in love with the idea that somebody loves me. it's actually a really confusing situation, and i wish i was able to figure out a way to end it without feeling unbearably guilty, losing people i've built my life around because of him, and breaking his heart. hopeless romantics really do create an issue. =\

i'm pretty sure even if you did like him, that would get really annoying.
i don't know if people really like that, i mean..
i know there's couples who are always like
ohh, i love/miss/adore you -all- the time, and they respond back to eachother and blah blah.
but i mean, there's more in life than eachother..
you can be in love and all that stuff,
but you don't need to be super mushy and make the other person your LIFE.
i mean, there's a time for that kind of thing in a relationship,
but not every single day.
kind of gets to the point of not even being sweet anymore,
or flattering. it's just a cycle.
and you know. kind of gross.

i guess it might depend on how old you are though?
because this would be a lottt more common (i think)
if the boy was young and maybe you were like, one of, if not his first 'relationshipish experience'.
and maybe he got too ahead of himself and excited.
that would be way understandable, i think.
especially for him not wanting to lose you so bad without even really knowing you, and being like. i am sooo in love with you.
it was probably feelings he wanted to feel,
and you were the first person to show interest so he projected it onto you.

i don't know. there's sweet and stuff, but there's also overdoing it.
and if you overdo it, mannnnnnnn that's annoying.
your words don't even really mean anything anymore when you do that.

I wouldn't classify him as a hopeless romantic. He was just clingy and needed human affection.

I like hopeless romantics, but in a good non clingy way.

i learned this lesson 2 years ago when i dated a guy who was jsut like that for 2 years and i ended it when i realized the same thing u did.

I know EXACTLY what your talking about, cuz I dated one of these, so called "hopeless romantics". in fact, youv inspired a blog of my own. in answer to your question though, i would say everything in moderation. every day, every week is just tiring and suffocating. if it only happened say, once a month really subtly, it would probably be enjoyed. i am a bit of a romantic, but thats not romance. thats obsession.

they're annoying ... it's the girl's job to be like that lol
I think it's okay when it's due ... and when he actually feels it and the "clinginess" has value.

I think there's a difference between being a hopeless romantic and a creeper. I'd like to say that difference is that a hopeless romantic takes things slow, enjoys every minute of the falling in love process, and a creeper jumps into things. But that's a tenative definition.

Nobody likes a hopeless romantic except Hallmark and the florist. And if he's really desperate, the local mariachi band.
