Okay, I know I'm going to probably feel really stupid once someone gives me the answer to this question, but....I was just thinking about this phrase - 'cause I was just about to use it...when it occurred to me -
If "hopeless" means "without hope"...and to basically not expect something to have an ideal or positive outcome.....then, how could a "hopeless romantic" be someone who is keeping his/her fingers crossed for the possibility of one day falling in love or who is just in love with the idea of being in love or being romantic or romanced????
Wouldn't the appropriate phrase be "'hopeful' romantic"???
Someone let me know, now, if I'm wrong....
