Single, and if the right guy comes along that would be wonderful! In fact, I've been praying to find my first real true love. And I'm not going to settle for the first person that comes along unless I'm sure he's "The One". I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic.
Perhaps somewhat off topic, but what is romanitc? And there is nothing wrong with being hopeless, I find hope to be a terrible thing.
I didn't know how quite to explain "hopeless romantic", but I went online and found this answer and it sums it up pretty well. I know Aspies probably don't think in this way because it sounds illogical, but I'm an NT.
"I think the term "hopeless romantic" can have many definitions - but it is commonaly perceived as a person who is in love with love and loves the romance of love. This person has an idealistic, romantic view of love (which can border on fantasy sometimes); which, of course, can fall short of the reality of love in most relationships. They really are looking for the man or woman of their dreams, or their "soul mates", or that one "true love" and when they find that "special one", they have a lot of love to give and will show their love in many romantic ways - and they are "hopelessly" romantic in the sense that they can't and don't want the romantic part of their love to end and will do everything within their power to perpetuate it by doing romantic things, because their love is an idealistic love. Personally, I don't think that's a bad thing at all! Who wouldn't appreciate that kind of love - as long as it doesn't smother a person, but I think hopeless romantics are givers and not takers. I think a hopeless romantic really wants their partner to be happy and will always put them first and that is not a bad thing! As a matter of fact that's the way BOTH partners should show their love for one another.
think it can be a bad thing for the hopeless romantic only if their special way of showing love by doing so many sweet things by being so romantic is taken for granted, or if the person that they are lavishing all of this romantic love on is unworthy and using them. Hopefully, the "special one" they find will be worthy of such a love and be capable of returning this "romantic" love in kind. What a lucky couple they would be!"
Yes she is! Keep looking.Single & looking for the right one...she is out there somewhere, right!?
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm going to focus on making good friends and enjoy the ride as I calm down on my desperate search! Life may even be less stressful that way? I know I'm a good guy @ heart, but even good guys deserve to have a little fun along life's bumpy road...Yes she is! Keep looking.
