Why drink when we can just post and post and post and post.....Hazy said:Gentlemen, I propose we drink.

I would consider a romantic person to be one who has a somewhat old fashioned and optimistic view of being in love.
Someone who will do selfless things just to make thier loved one smile.
I love romantic people.
Yay!Sleekgiant said:Why drink when we can just post and post and post and post.....Hazy said:Gentlemen, I propose we drink.

Well if someone is a romantic they are into big gestures to show affection. If they are a hopeless romantic they do the same thing, but thing they are way more effective then they actually are.
I normally try to be the kind, caring, gentlemanly sort of person. Unfortunately for me, being an asshole of a boyfriend seems to be in fashion right now. Needless to say, I'm single.
Yeah, I don't understand this at all.Sakurazaki1023 said:
I would consider myself a romantic, but not in the conventional sense.
I tend to do anything and everything on a whim, so it can end awkwardly sometimes.
Back on topic here...
I would say someones a romantic when they try to do special things with the one they love, not all the time, and never being expected.
Like: "Wanna go to lunch?" "Sure!" 20 mins later "We're having lunch by the sea?" "SURPRISE! I booked us a cruise!"
Like that... but not necessarily that extreme.
They're rather delusional idealists generally looking up to periods of time that didn't actually existed outside of works of fiction.
So, yea, a fantasy-like view. That's the proper definition, y'know.

Different people consider different things romantic so the meaning of it can change from person to person.
My girlfriend says that I'm both very sweet and very romantic, I don't see it myself but if the way I act makes her feel that way then I don't see anything wrong with that.

The term itself leans heavily to the "They are an emotional, and imaginative person" side. However, modern use typically just implies that they have an amorous personality, since that is a more readily understood use of the term, as the implications are a little more specific.
ie
Saying someone is romantic (meaning emotional and imaginative) can imply that someone is a fanciful thinker, an eternal optimist, impractical...
Saying someone is romantic (meaning amorous or suave) just means that they can easily gain endearment from and instill pleasant emotions in the opposite sex.
Which way is simpler? That's how I look at it anyway.

Then we shall post until the wee hours of the morning!
They get the oppisite sex by being a decent person that actually cares for them.
They are also not a bellend to others though some people have misunderstood the work as friend #1 said to me Person A is romantic, yet he is as described above.
