A hopeless romantic is not the same as a hopeless flirter. A hopeless romantic dreams of who they will spend the rest of their life with and what the two of them will do together. They want to be romanced with sweet simple things and the thoughtful amazing surprises. They dream of being loved but also loving somebody. They don't just want somebody to hold them. they also want to hold someone. They realize that love isn't just about one person but both people. they are hopelessly in love with being loved AND loving back.
My friends is a perfect example of someone who isn't a hopeless romantic. She says she wants to be romanced but she flirts with every guy. And I mean EVERY guy. She calls herself a hopeless romantic but shes not. Once she has a guy that just wants to love her shes get bored after two weeks and then when he gets a new girlfriend she suddenly likes him again. Thats not hopeless romantic thats just hopeless.

A personality condition in which someone uses feelings of "love" as a fuel source rather than a passion. People who suffer from Romantic Vamprism see love interests as outlets for attention, lust, confidence, and little more. Once their partner can't provide a needed amount of those things, they leave them behind for another victim. It's an addiction to the essence of love, not the details that make it last.
Romantic Vamprism is not easy to spot. Those who have it can be quite charming and outwardly appealing; it's their motive for love that gives them the condition. To them, a partner is a puppet for sexual and emotional energy, with little or no reason to keep them once they've served their purpose.
The "magnificent bastards" of heartbreaking, if you will.
"I'm in love with you!"
"Really now. I'm in love with your love."
"What about...you know...me?"
"Yes, yes, you too dear. I suppose. (For now...)"
Romantic Vamprism at it's finest.

A type of frustration that arises from being single and wanting to be in a romantic relationship, yet you canβt seem to find a person who you are interested in and is willing to have one with you, or being in a romantic relationship where your needs are not being met adequately. The solution to the later may be to talk to your partner about how you feel about where your relationship is going and discuss your needs with them to see if you and your partner can find a way to work things out so both of you are having your needs met.
Derek: Why has Sasha been seeming to be so sad lately?
Kelsey: She is romantically frustrated. Her boyfriend barely spends any time with her these days because he is so busy with his job. As a result, her romantic needs are not being adequately met; so she is really sad these days.
Derek: She should talk to him about it and see if they work something out so both of their needs are being met adequately.
Kelsey: Good idea. Iβll suggest that to her the next time I see her.
Similarly to semisexual (Someone who experiences sexual attraction but no desire to act on it)

P2: I'm Semi-romantic, I'm not really into dating.
p1: Oh same! I need a break from dating too, It's just too difficult!
p2: I'm not taking a break from dating, Although I can fall in love, I'm not interested in going anywhere with it. I haven't lost the desire cuz I never had it.
p1: ...
p2: ...
p1: I'm sure that yo-

Believing in true love obsession with one person forever being loyal and always finding was to love each other because if you have it with everyone else it's not special because then you can go to a whore. Finding someone that fits you perfectly and not being interested in another person because that person is the one. Being comfortable content with life not seeing anyone else like they the only person in the world.
You call it old fashioned I call it Hopeless romantic.
