Are you able to recall when AIM was popular. You probably do. The modem noises, the “door closing” and “door opening” sounds from your Buddy List, and of course, away messages. Not to date myself, but away messages used to be the perfect form of “vaguebooking” before Facebook became popular. These messages often contained lyrics from songs and quotes from movies meant for that special person. But the crème de la crème of these was the hopeless romantic quotes left up for a crush to see. A teen is the best at drama.
QuotesNo matter your age, relationship status or gender, these stories about hopeless romances are universally relatable. That’s because they sum up the way we feel, far more than the way we act. Even if you’re in a great relationship with someone who isn’t Jack from This Is Us or Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, a solid romantic quote will help you view them in a different light.
These are the most hopeless romantic quotes you will ever hear.
