Falling head-over-heels in love with that special someone can be a very euphoric experience and also entices the mind into romanticism. Having strong romantic feelings when a significant lover comes along can spark friction in a relationship but how does one know they are falling in love with someone who dreams of a fantastical love, a romanticist dream beyond the fishbowl that can be called life?

5 Signs You’re Falling In Love with a Hopeless Romantic

1. You Dig Their Nostalgia & You Become Nostalgic

Having memories of the good times is always something that rings inside the conscious mind. Fond memories of that now vintage cassette player from the past may always be within the peripheral of your love interest’s mind, especially if you find them bringing up tunes, tv shows, and other nostalgic mediums from the past, maybe even more frequently than most individuals would.

From time to time they might recall moments from their past as they resurface something deep within their emotions. As this happens you might find yourself all ears and more in love with their stories from their past experiences. And perhaps you may find yourself wanting to change the subject to something more modern. Either way, nostalgia trips could be a frequent visitation.

You’ll know you are dating someone who daydreams beyond the veil of the mundane reality of romance when they bring up elements of the past. They are simply trying to recreate an emotion they long to explore again but more fully and passionately and with you.

If you find yourself becoming nostalgic too, you’re not only falling in love with someone who dreams of love but you’ve come to accept it as a part of your life.

2. You Become Fascinated With Impressions of Love

When dating someone who might fall under the lines of a powerful romanticist dream, they expect things to relate and have a relationship similar to wine tasting and blissful outings threaded in love. It might even seem like a fairytale when you start thinking about how to impress your lover.

When your impressions of them become superfluous or extravagant you just might be falling in love with a person with a romantic cloud over their head.

And with all cautionary flags that deal with relationships, be careful. Rose-colored classes about how a person is by how they view life, even if it is extravagant tastes for wine can be an invitation to those who have darker personalities, ones that manipulate. Ick. Let’s not talk about that. Maybe another time for another story.

3. You Start To Become Creative

Hopeless romantics love creativity. They are always looking for ways to artistically express their love for life and perhaps even you. Some, depending on their personality may be the type that is trapped inside their daydreams. Although, they long to express the creative power of love that thrives within them as the dream a romantic dream.

You might start to spark from their creative energy as it rubs off on you, especially if you find yourself full of ideas and concepts that you would’ve never thought of before. Hopeless romantics may seem hopeless from what they envision in another lover and the reality of love and relationships but this is what makes them so creative. Their hopeless romantic inspirations are like a faucet leaking over into your dream world. Don’t be afraid. Create, Live, and Thrive.

4. You Are Pulled Into Adventurous Activities

Whether you like it or not, the hopeless part of a romantic person can be one that thrives on the exhilaration of life and adventure. You might find yourself traveling more or visiting places you would’ve never gone if you haven’t met this specific person who is deemed a hopeless romantic. Despite their flawed dreams of love, they long to live life fully and with excitement. Who doesn’t want to aspire to that?

Not everyone is the same as a hopeless romantic.

In some cases, hopeless romantics are quite timid but you may never know. There may be a lion trapped inside that mousey personality and that is a sign that they truly do want to thrive beyond the vessel they portray externally.

Hold on to your horses and live life with adventure because their inner-world may just show yourself as long as you treat them with compassion and care.

5. You Are More Ambitious Than Ever

The hopeless romantic is a very ambitious type of person despite the stereotypes. To be adventurous and have life experiences, success is something that is in the recess of your significant other’s mind.

If you find that your goals change and there is more that you want to achieve, you may be dating a very ambitious lover who has cast a spell on you to become bigger and bolder with your ambitions. Hopeless romantics tend to have a larger than life point-of-view and this could be something that seems as if you have fallen under their spell to become more ambitious.

To conclude the five given signs, No matter what people say about hopeless romantics they can be great partners in life. They can drive you into creativity and make you leap for your dreams. Just be yourself and make sure you are ready to fly by the seat of your pants as they just might pull you into their endless tussle for finding love in all different types of places. Love for life. Love for adventure. Love for dreaming just a little bit bigger than you did yesterday. Maybe they aren’t so hopeless after all.
