Perhaps, each representative of the fair sex dreams of meeting with a romantic. Yes, and men want a romantic, sensitive and tender girl nearby. But what does the word “romance” mean, and what kind of people are called romantic natures? Let's try to figure it out.
Explanatory Dictionaries
First, let's plunge into the book world. How does the word “romantic” explain the explanatory dictionary? For example, Efremova’s dictionary says that a romantic is an adherent of the direction of romanticism. Fasmer’s dictionary translates from French: a romantic is a person who idealizes the world and the people around him.
Under the editorship of Kuznetsov, a large Russian explanatory dictionary was published. The word "romantic" in it has several meanings. The first is the representative of romanticism, a trend popular with poets and writers of past centuries. The second is a person for whom the whole world is perfect, all people are beautiful. Thirdly, the romantic person here is a person of a romantic mood who is very emotional about something. People of various professions fall into this category: sailors, geologists, musicians, travelers, etc.
Main symptoms
According to historians, romantic people have lived for a long time. Romantic - who is it? In their opinion, this is a person who does not notice some inconvenience in life and does not participate in the turbulent world upheavals. The main symptoms of romanticism are considered to be belief in a better and excessive daydreaming.
But if there weren’t such romantic dreamers in the world, where would the most wonderful works of world art come from: paintings, poetic lines touching to tears, Green's “Scarlet Sails”? Many works, especially poems and poems, to the question: “Romantic - who is it?” - unequivocally answer that this is a person who believes in love, no matter what. It is romance and love that go hand in hand, as philosophers, poets and composers have long believed. It was these two concepts that “curtailed” the years and made people happy.
From the point of view of psychology
If you ask a similar question to psychologists, then they also have a detailed concept of the word "romantic." Who is it? This is a man who most of the time "lives in himself." He seeks to comprehend himself, to assess his feelings and attitude to the world. Romantics seek to unravel the secrets of the universe, human behavior and build their own fantastic, beautiful world.
Moreover, every romantic dreamer seeks to share his vision of the world with others. They do not close themselves, fantasizing about the ideal. They seek this ideal, having found, they prove to it how good the world around is.
If you thought that most romantics are closed in themselves and on their fantasy ideal world, then you are mistaken. Many psychologists will unequivocally say that he is an ardent rebel who always adheres to his worldview and does not want to deviate from his own vision of life under any circumstances.
The romantics are literally annoyed by the uniformity of thinking; they cannot understand how to put on the same clothes every day for work or, coming from it, to lie down on a sofa by the TV. Indeed, in the world there are a lot of beautiful and still unknown to every individual person things.
Romantic nature is always ready to shoulder all the responsibilities, say, of preparing an evening with a loved one or a trip out of town. Moreover, such a person will do it thinking extraordinary, looking for new entertainment, new activities and interesting places. Such a nature will do everything so that the people around them plunge into the ideal world for a moment and understand that it can be created in reality.
Temporary
All the romantics, perhaps, can be divided into two large groups. The first includes temporary romantics, which idealize either a particular person, or some situation (their work, family, etc.). If, after building certain impeccable images and a clash with reality, their ideal world collapses, then they return to ordinary life, devoid of the old romance.
Present
Such people are romantic not only in relationships. Romanticism in their case penetrates into all spheres of life. They can make plans, draw pictures of the world, ignore difficulties both at work and in relationships. The romantics simply have no time to do this, they are very busy looking at the unusual shape of snowflakes flying in the palm of their hands, or listening to the birds singing in the mornings in a nearby park.
Romantic man
Most often, the word “romantic” is associated with men. A romantic girl, with a ribbon in her hair and a languid gaze, remained somewhere at the turn of the century. She was replaced by modern business ladies who simply have no time to feel the sense of beauty and build pink castles. But despite the emancipation of modern ladies, almost all of them want a romantic man next to them. Paradox? No, a fact confirmed by tests and surveys.
Romantic man - who is it? How to find him among millions of business suits hurrying to their offices every day? What qualities are contained in a man whom women boldly call romantic?
Firstly, it is intelligence and a good education. An uneducated ignoramus cannot turn an ordinary walk in the park into an exciting journey. A person without developed intelligence cannot describe the bright colors of his invented ideal world.
Secondly, the conquest of a stubborn female heart is simply impossible without the manifestation of fantasy. Write a fiery message for your beloved on the asphalt with chalk or go down the roof along the rope ladder to give a bouquet of daisies to the window. For all these romantic manifestations, a rich imagination is needed to surprise and shock.
Thirdly, a romantic man is always positive emotions with which he feeds his beloved in negative moments. This is a huge dose of positive and joy, which a man shares with his soulmate.
Many women think that a romantic man is a temporary phenomenon that quickly bothers. In fact, flowers and romantic declarations of love never bother. And the wise, educated, gentle, emotionally positive, with strong convictions in life, the male shoulder has not harmed anyone.
