Rec | HOPELESS ROMANTIC, FORCED TO BE CYNIC

🚨

Rec'd on 😃 What are your views on love?

If there was no danger around I know that I would be completely capable of giving myself away blindly to love, but realistically that would have a fucked up end so keeping an eye on the red flags and on my boundaries

Romantic + cynic

Don't be so romantic that you overlook red flags. Don't be so cynical that you fault someone on their every little flaw. Be open to new things because you might not know what you're looking for. And always, once you swear off love is the exact time when you find that one relationship.

a hopeless romantic (who knows her worth)

romantic gestures (grand or small, whatever you’re into) balanced with honesty, understanding, acceptance, patience, communication and trust. compromise is important too but within reason! you shouldn’t compromise to the point where you lose yourself or feel like you’re settling for the sake of love and the person you love shouldn’t want that either. also, a lot of people want to be in a relationship for the sake of company and companionship and fail to see the other as their own person. so have standards, even if that means you won’t be in a relationship right away. love means being able to be an individual and appreciated as such. love should not be your identity, your identity should be present in how you love. i don’t know i have a very practical but fantastical approach…maybe it’s my taurus venus. personally i fancy a little fun and humor as well. if i can’t be silly with my lover i don’t want it.

hopeless romantic + realist

i’m definitely a hopeless romantic but i think i have a good sense of realistic expectations in (romantic) love. so obviously i hope i find someone that’s like the loml but i understand how rare that is! and i find it much more important to spend time appreciating love for yourself and others and nature and so on. all loves are important and abundant when you embrace them! maybe related — i know it’s the generational norm but dating apps feel way too unnatural to me. i also think when we talk about “love of your life” it’s always finite; i believe it’s more normal/realistic to have someone be the love of your life at a specific point in your life, and later you maybe part ways when you realize your lives and selves have separately evolved from that time. but i know so many people who define their lives/future over being in their specific relationship (regardless if it’s monogamous or not!) and i have found that is unhealthy and unsustainable. i think you can get so deep into a relationship that you drown in it!
