Miguel SyjucoOh, how wonderfully romantic of you. Romantics are really only in love with themselves.
About This Quote
When someone says that they are "in love" with their own idea of romance, that person is really only in love with themselves. Romanticism is a very subjective view of the world. People who are romantics usually have very good imaginations, but they often cannot see past their own ideas. They are full of idealistic expectations about what love should be like, and are often very disappointed when they are not met by reality.
To them, romance is not something to be found in real life. If they are lucky, their romantic expectations will fade on their own, but if not, they will suffer greatly until that happens.
