I used to write songs for my former girlfriend and play them on my guitar outside her window. I cry at the movies. I'm a sucker for romantic movies and love songs. I love weddings. I stock up on scented candles and incense. I like to pick flowers and display them proudly in a vase.
I suppose you could call me a hopeless romantic, but perhaps "pussy" would be more accurate.

That about sums it up. I don't really watch movies in general though. I like comedies, but action, horror, and the others always follow some dream of grandeur that has the one percent chance of playing out in real life.

what more could a man ask for?
Not much more than that. Seems like you found a good one. I'm still waiting but hopeful.

Im a romantic but I try hard to hide it and not let anyone know.

im certainly a romeo minded fool...
not in the way that i watch romance movies though 
i'm just too much of a sweet talker, and though most of the time i like to mess around w/ girls with no attachments; everytime i meet a girl i actually feel that i've got a real connection with i just choke. i have no problem getting a girl in bed when that's all i want to do, but when i want the girl's heart i panic about making the wrong move and fucking it all up so i end up making friends with the girls i truly love and never really end up dating them or telling them much of how i actually feel.
atleast that's the situation i'm in right now, but i'm not trippin cause i'm still young and there's a lot of fine ass females out there that i wanna spend time with before finding that one i spend the rest of my time with.

When I was a younger man I used to give girls roses, write them poetry and do stuff like that.
I stopped with it all though.

It's good to know there are still some romantic guys out there though.
Am I a romantic? I think so. But I keep it inside. Being a romantic sort of means you make yourself vulnerable and I'm tired of allowing myself to get hurt.

I think that's what the guys do too. At least I do. Girls doubt there are romantic guys because so many of them keep it in out of fear of making themselves vulnerable and getting hurt.

i loathe you,

unless you worked hard to find that, but ive heard the phrase "once you stop looking, she'll find you"
well i heard that a year ago so you can probably have a good theory of what my perception of love and women are...

You're manifesting your own reality through perceptions of what is and waht isnt. You are using the secret in a counterproductive and masochistic way.

I'm a hopeless romantic, and no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to get rid of it. I guess someone has to be, since my guy obviously isn't.

I would say I do. They're not always over the top romantic, but they are kind gestures. I did give him a massage the other night, complete with oils and candles. Who knows, maybe he'll recriprocate. I can dream

I used to be a hopeless romantic-- no wait, I meant cynical asshole. Well, I still like a good romance picture every now and then. I just saw a really good one too. It was called Love Exposure.
Ahh ... leave it to the Japanese to capture that rapturous feeling of being young and in love.

i haven't had much luck with love/relationships, and i've had my heart broken a lot. but, i am like a dumb puppy who keeps coming back for more. i could never be jaded, and i will never stop believing that the stars will align and i'll meet the right one at the right time.
i love love and i love being in love. i am happy with myself though and i'd rather be alone than with someone who's just alright. i want extraordinary.

A "Hopeless Romantic" is one who in the face of unrequited love keeps an overall positive outlook on love and life. While others tend to become jaded in the face of relationships gone bad or in times when one's heart begins to beat for another and those feelings aren't reciprocated, Hopeless Romatics always see the brighter side of things knowing someone, somewhere out there awaits them whether in this life of the next.

I used to be romantic... I moved across the ocean to be with the "love of my life" who turned out to be a self-loathing douche bag. These days I'm just realistic. I suppose my answer would be no, I'm not a romantic at this point in my life.
I feel bad because I have to constantly reiterate to the guy I'm dating that I'm not ready for the lovey dovey shit. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I've made it clear where I stand.

i love to act romantic towards women i think the act of romance is awesome and feels great...
but I'm pretty jaded on finding "the one"

i feel this. im receptive to the notion of finding a new lover, but as my life progresses i find it harder and harder to settle and am no longer feel so desperate in finding romance. i refuse to be with someone unless they challenge me mentally, inspire me, make me strive to be a better person...etc...someone that I can learn from...
