Although a relationship can now be found as effortlessly as swiping an image or sliding into someone’s DMs on social media, hopeless romantics still exist.

In fact, there are possibly more hopeless romantics now than there ever has been before, as the idea of discovering romance organically is the supreme goal in a time where it hardly happens.

Do you daydream about getting whisked away when a handsome stranger smiles at you in the street? Or perhaps you constantly see rom-coms and hope the love story was happening in real life?

In this story, we are going to take a look at 26 signs that you are a hopeless romantic. Let’s dive right in!

1. You are looking for Prince Charming



If you’re a hopeless romantic, you’re looking for the prince charming type of guy that treats you like a princess, showers you with affection, and ultimately has a strong bond with you.

2. You are addicted to rom-coms


If you spend your nights watching rom-coms with a packet of tissues on hand for when you inevitably cry at the event where they finally get together, you’re a definite hopeless romantic.

3. You daydream about strangers


When the handsome guy across the road flashes a smile at you, do you instantly fast forward to a time in your mind where you’re on a date with him and the sparks between you are flying? Daydreaming about strangers is a romantic hopeless thing to do!

4. You visualize about the future


Whether you have a perception of yourself sitting with your future husband or you’re dreaming about what you’re going to call your kids, your mind is always racing with romantic ideas of your future life.

5. You cry at kid’s films

Even when you watch a kid’s film you find yourself engaged in the characters' lives and inescapably you’ll cry. Even if nothing dreadful happens in the film, you’ll probably cry at the cuteness.

6. You largely listen to songs about love

If your entire music playlist has every love song ever made and a selection of heartfelt ballads to which you sing along to and dramatically visualize you’re in the singer’s situation, you’re 100% a hopeless romantic.

7. You always believe in your friends' relationships

If you’re someone in the group that’s always believing in your friends' relationships and aiding them, you’re a hopeless romantic. You’re cheerful, even when it’s not you that’s the one in love.

8. You really love life

One of the best things about being a hopeless romantic is that you will take joy in every aspect of your life, from doing the laundry to seeing the dusk.

9. You read poetry

Hopeless romance is always documented through poetry, and therefore it’ll be something that you take enjoyment in reading.

10. You imagine circumstances in which you are content


If you always imagine yourself in situations in which you’re happy, then go and live out the imagined scenario to make yourself happy, you’re most likely part of the hopeless romantics club. Other people tend to just put themselves into a situation and then try to be happy, whereas you create a circumstance in which you are happy.

11. You cry in happy moments

The truth is, you just cry a lot, even in the happiest moments. In fact, when happy moments happen, you cry more than you possibly do when awful ones occur.

12. You’re not always in a relationship

Due to the fact you’re waiting for someone to come along and be your true partner, you hold out for the best relationship possible. Therefore, you’re normally the lonely one amongst your group.

13. You believe in marriage

Everything about getting married makes your heart flutter. Unlike others that may believe marriage isn’t essential or isn’t a good idea, you’re a strong supporter of marrying the perfect partner.

14. You believe in lovemaking

You don’t believe in having sex, instead, you believe in lovemaking. You think that every sexual act is also a sentimental one. This implies you possibly don’t have many one-night stands!

15. You believe everything can be fixed with love

Whenever there’s trouble in life, you believe that it can be resolved with love. Rather than trying to fix a problem with a possible solution, you throw attention, care, and love at the trouble and hope it fixes it.

16. You journal a lot

You don’t feel as if anyone truly believes you, so you tend to journal a lot as a way to get all of your ideas about life out and onto the journal. You’re possibly the person that always has a notepad and pen on you.

17. You need to meet someone organically


If you’re a true hopeless romantic you will believe in meeting the true individual at the right time, and therefore you believe you’ll meet somebody organically.

18. You think you’re too much for some people

Being a hopeless romantic you are entirely conscious that your viewpoint on life and your behaviour towards romance often dazes the population. However, you don’t try and numb yourself down as the people that are supposed to be around you will be around you.

19. You think true love exists

Hopeless romantics believe in fairy tales, and therefore they also believe in true love. If you genuinely think that there’s someone out there for you who’s your true love, you’re a hopeless romantic.

20. You don’t think a honeymoon phase should ever end


Hopeless romantics don’t believe the honeymoon phase of a connection should ever end, and they want to feel fireworks like they did on the initial date for the rest of the connection.

21. You think about the future of a connection on the first date

Even on a first date, you are imagining about the future of a connection and whether this person is someone that you’d like to be your companion.

22. You have faith in love

Even if you haven’t had an affair in a while, you believe in love and you have faith you will find your permanent partner.

23. You don’t get dating apps

Dating apps mystify you because you’re so sure in the assumption that you’re going to meet your true partner in person, organically.


24. You’re happy for others in love

Unlike others that simply say they are, you are actually happy for others when they are in love.

25. You find glamour even in things that aren’t supposed beautiful to others

No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you discover beauty in every aspect of life because you cherish life.

26. You like love letters


The thought of somebody pouring their heart out in their best handwriting on a wonderful piece of paper, makes you go weaknees.
