Incurable Romantics? ( Archived) (46)

no thats my fav movie of all time i seen it over10 years ago and have seen it many times.
im a incurable romantic very much so. but in todays society people take advantage of them:(
but thats what love is taking care of each other, and looking out for each others best interests. together as one. but alot of people have lost that bond.

I wouldn't say that people take advantage of incurrable romantics so much as they might allow themselves to be taken advantage of. Everyone now days needs to be a little more careful with who they chose to give their heart to and they won't be as hurt as often. Don't get me wrong, romance is a wonderful thing and when it comes your way I believe you should put your heart and soul into it but just make sure the other person is in it for the right reasons. And if that person is, go into it - no holds barred. I don't know if people have lost that bond you are talking about, they just might be a little scarred of getting hurt too.

in life you have to take risks. and if it means spending only a small amount of time truely in love and shes in love with me then its better then never being in love at all. im willing to chance it. As for taking advantage of incurable romantics i disagree with what you say. How does one truely know what the others thinking. only through actions could you find out and the romantics usually do more and the others tae advantage.
i can tell you lots of horror stories, where the girl confussed love and was willing to die if the guy left her then 2 weeks later after a argument over something they bought bang she left? so in todays world romance is dying as is love and only distrust and unhappiness is running crazy. sad to say but its true look at the evidence all around you do i have to point them out? but im really hoping me and my girl on here, everybody should know who, will have a happy ending:)

Well I wish you the best of luck with you and your girl on here. I wouldn't know who she is as this is my first day on here and no you don't have to point out all the evidence around me, I am sure if I looked for it I could find it myself. I have my own horror stories that I have learned from, I just don't choose to dwell on them.

I still chose to disagree with you that romance and love are dying and only distrust and unhappiness is runnig crazy. I hope that kind of outlook doesn't ruin what you have going with your girl.

As for me I chose to continue to believe in love and romance.

I am a hopeless romantic.....I love to shower affection and attention on the one I love......I've done many foolish things for love, but none that I regret. I live with the motto "Tis better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."

i'm not romantic at all. in fact, it makes me a bit ill.

I feel really sorry for you

lol, don't.

i'm more grounded in realism and if i find a partner, i want a full partnership...but i want to retain the ability to be by myself. i don't ever want to...feel like i can't live or be without someone else...or have my world revolve around them.

i don't want someone to do things for me...i don't want doors opened, or flowers or presents...i just want a bit of their time. and honesty. i'm easy to please.

I am also a very grounded person but I also choose believe in the possibility of love, romantic love. I can and have been by myself for quite a while. I don't feel like I can't live without someone but one of these days I would like to have that special person in my life.

I would like to point out a difference between wanting and needing. All the things that you said above I would like or want but I don't need them to survive.

Being easy to please is good but I would hope that you wouldn't just settle for someone that just wants to give you a bit of their time. There is so much more out there to be experienced.

i'm also picky, lol. and most of my time is devoted to my children...part of the reason why i can't stand a guy whose head is stuck up my rear.

i'd MUCH prefer to be by myself than to settle. in fact...i think i prefer being alone...nothing and noone to compete for the girls' time.

however, if someone who shared my value system fell into my lap...i might consider it. i've only had one date in the past year and a half...

i believe in love, don't get me wrong. i've experienced it. but i don't want all the silly, frilly frippery.
