To feel romantic is to have feelings of love or tenderness toward someone. To be a romantic, on the other hand, is to be in love with the idea of love. If you’re a hopeless romantic, then you’re pushing it even further. You’re so in love with the idea of love that you act in ways that might be considered extreme, all for the sake of love.
Selena Gomez places her sweetheart, Justin Bieber, in the hopeless romantic category because he went to extreme lengths to show his love for her. He rented out an entire arena, just to show her a movie she liked.
