The Hopeless Romantic's Handbook
Hopeless romantics see the world differently from other people. Hopeless romantics see beauty everywhere, see possibility in everything, and are eternally optimistic about the outcome of the actions.
Which is why it can be extremely worrying when other who do not share your sunny disposition choose to make sharp comments or suggest that your optimism is misplaced. These people are the cynics - although they would probably call themselves "realists" - who prefer not to see beauty because it asks too much of them.
Hopeless romantics think of others all the time, whereas cynics think only of themselves.

Presenting to you : The one and only Hopelessly Romantic love-nut you can find breathing and eating burgers from Carls Jr. - ME!
Oh yes!
So which category you fall under?
This is of course about differentiating IF you someone who is a total love-nut (although you need not be in love to be hopelessly romantic of course) or just one who heck-cares about anything else because you are NOT in love.
The truth is (and not for the reason of boasting around eh) I can confidently say that I fall under the hopeless romantic's category.
I am optimistic -80% of the time- AND I care for people more than I care about myself.
When I talk to others, I realize they are (most of the time) not in par with my kind thoughts. But then again, I think it is due to the tremendous influence from Z, who is a man dripping with confidence and optimism Yes Sire!
I think I might sound a little bit dreamy when I say Love makes you feel great about yourself, makes you feel like a total winner. It makes you PRACTICE the act of sharing your life with another person/partner and makes you realize how important it is to give and take.
I sometimes don't understand why others are so negative and rather ... calculative? in their everyday life. The thing is because I can be quite self-sacrificial. BUT NOTE! I'm not trying to make myself look as if I'm a donkey by following everyone's wishes blindly. But I just love to "give way". In fact, I just love to "give" and I don't expect anything in return, but certainly, some small gestures along the way would do good too.
I detest cynics because they are moral plungers. They pull you down with their snide remarks. They talk with much -what else?- negativity and for me personally, it is not very nice to hear. As what is said above, these people "do not share your sunny disposition choose to make sharp comments". Sharp comments = hurtful.VERY hurtful MOST of the time,yes.
Oh yes. Cynics! Learn to love others BEFORE you love yourself (too much) so that you can learn how to appreciate others (very important!) for the way they are.
Hopeless romantics! Keep up the #%#$%$rdfdtr good work with the tonnes of optimism.
1 score for Hopeless Romantics; it just shows that we are not that hopeless after all! We just love to love :)
Saturday whizzed by oh-so painlessly.
Which is unfair because I still want more of Z! Grrr.
Z was donned in glory greens and so was the chili sauce!
Gah. Wicked!
Right, time to hit the bed. I'm ready to tuck myself into bed...
But before that, brush teeth time!
*poof*
