You might be a hopeful romantic if...

The perfect hopeless romantic

In the spirit of Valentine's/Single Awareness day (whichever you might be celebrating this year) I compiled this little list of hopeless romantic traits. Many of them come straight from a close self professed HR (myself) and others came to me with the help of a quick google search. Clearly, this is not a legitimate test and doesn't define you as a person...It was just fun for me to write. Hope you enjoy!

FYI This is aimed at girls, but lets just say if you're a guy and you identify with some of these you won't be getting any judgement from me! Plus - it's safe to say that girls love a guy with a romantic streak. ;)

You might be a hopeless romantic if...

• Your first Pinterest board to reach 100 pins was wedding related
• You've imagined scenarios about the following or anything related to the following: being asked out, first kiss, proposals, buying a puppy (or iphone??) with SO, anything you find to be perfectly romantic
• You believe in love at first sight.
• You believe in true love.
• You're in love with love.
• Old couples who are still totally into each other are adorable and in no way gross or scary.
• Tangled makes you cry.
• Taylor Swift songs like: Love Story, Fearless, Ours and Our Song make you feel all mushy inside.
• Taylor Swift songs like: Last Kiss, White Horse, and Come Back..Be Here are super depressing.
• Kissing in the rain sounds fun.
• You become a ball of mush while watching chick flicks. (Examples: The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, The Titanic etc.)
• You have watched Pride & Prejudice 4 times in the last 24 hours.
• It puts you in a good mood to see happy couples being adorable.
• You've already decided on your wedding song.
• And dress. And every other detail including when and where you'd like to be proposed to. (If he isn't on his knees, it's a no deal.)
• The perfect relationship is Lily and Marshall's from How I Met Your Mother (cheesy nicknames and all)
• It's the little things that make all the difference.
• You're waiting for your knight in shining armor to rescue you. (Bonus points if you didn't think the use knight was even slightly cheesy.)
• And finally - You either really like or really dislike Valentine's day (but it definitely depends on the year.) ;)

If you identify with the majority of these, you're probably a hopeless romantic. That does not mean that you finding romance is in fact - hopeless. This label is very misleading. Giselle started out with a prince that had caterpillar lips and ended up with this guy:

Not hopeless AT. ALL.

So in the spirit of hopeFUL romantics eat some chocolate kisses and have an awesome Valentine's/Single Awareness Day!

(Also, shout out to the epitome of awesomeness, Rhyno, who turns 19 today! ^.^ )
