I Am a Hopeless Romantic

Sucks to Be

By: blackcat
Written on July 20th, 2007
I am the biggest romantic I know, but it sucks cuz I have never met someone who can do everything I wish they would do.I cant tell them what to do either,cuz that feels wrong to me.Unfortunately men are human and not gods so the chances of meeting a man who will sweep me off my feet are slim to nil.... and the ones who are romantic like that seem to be either taken or gay. Woe is me!

    Be patient and wait there will be a man that will sweep you off your feet and more. In the mean time enjoy life

    Just because you haven't met that guy, doesn't mean you won't.

    Some men are as hopeless romantic as you. My idea of loving someone is unconditional love, loving them for who they are and supporting them in whatever they want to do. I'd love to have someone I can talk to honestly, share my thoughts with at the end of the day, watch movies with, play games with, hike with, go on picnics with, I won't go on because basically I want to enjoy life and be happy with the person I love. Unfortunately, I live in a loveless marriage and I'm too loyal to a fault and still trying to make it work. Funny too since my advice to people here is to quickly move on and find someone who will appreciate you and love you for who you are.

    From your quote, "I have never met someone who can do everything I wish they would do." With preconceived notions of what you expect and want you might be missing out on something else that you have not yet discovered.

    well it depends on your idea of romantic. i open doors for ladies, hold the car door. there is always fresh flowers... when my ex was gone on a trip i sent her a pic of the laptop with our pic on it little heart candles around it her favorite shirt she liked and a rose laying on the keyboard. i gave regualr massages... love to cuddle on the couch.. the best is the daily good morning beautiful text with a little message after wards. then a few thru the day just to say "i'm thinking about you".... now none of these are made up and was always done. and no i'm not gay lol

    yes, unfortunately all the romantic ones are already taken...I am lucky that I just recently met my Mr. Romantic after he came out of a 20 year marriage (well not right after), but would have loved to meet him sooner in life...thats ok, we have the rest of our life...

    Maybe it isn't so unfortunate that humans are not gods, when you think about it.

    I'm a guy and I'm a huge romantic. I think I've done most every cliche thing you can think of. But I dont like to think of it as cliche, because no one does it anymore. But I feel the same way about how it sucks to be only romantic you know, or the one in a relationship. You wish people would do that small stuff like text messages, letters, cheesy stuff. It sucks when its a one way street.

    Well it's not possible that ALL the romantic men have been taken! After all, they all had to be single at one stage or another! Perhaps you're not maximising your chances of snaring one. Takes a LOT of work to get to the point where one can be a capable romantic man - are you putting the same amount of effort into making yourself romantic-man-suitable/attractive? ;)
