Am I Really A Hopeless Romantic?

For a very long time I rejected the idea of being a "hopeless romantic".
Hindsight being what it is,I realize it was more than the idea of it,but the connotation it presents.
Hopelessness to me is like a poisonous plant or a boa constrictor...I recoil at the very thought of it.
I can't be hopeless,it is just not in me. So, from my principled and beautiful aspirations for romance, I detach any desperation or discouragement.
Why resort to hopeless despair for true love in your life? Why purposefully suffer from stinging nettles or poison oak? Why be choked off from life by a devilish snake wound around your dreams,your heart,your soul? Numbing yourself against longing,against the ache for pure intentions,eternal fidelity,and sweet adoration. No longer dreaming for what truly could be yours, in time. Men not fighting to protect and honor women,and women not asking, or rather expecting that from men. Have we sunk so low?
So many of these choices to (in all honesty) give up on the concepts of chivalry,valor,unity,and affection,I think,equate to impatience. Simply being obedient to develop patience makes finding the love of your life so much sweeter and exciting, so much more meaningful, and so worth waiting for.
Unfortunately those who don't have an active relationship with God are at a disadvantage in all areas of progress,and most certainly in love and relationships. Because we are to always put Him first and stride with Him as companion,father,and lover...that is where our commitment and trust must be grounded,where we build from. Everything is bound to fall into place after that,including who we are meant to spend our lives with.

Thus,if I may be so forward as to label my own person, I hereby pronounce myself a hopeful romantic: In wonder and anticipation of future love,steady in spirit,patient in progress.
I ask of you to join me. We have given up too much ground on the battlefield for love. Let us be forcefully offensive in retrieving broken hearts from the clutches of our adversary.
