Hopeless Romanticism is tough to deal with

Life has taught me several things. One lesson that I have learned and continue to relearn is that being a hopeless romantic can be super hard to live with when you can't find someone who shares that characteristic with you. Over the past year I have tried to date many girls and have been burned more times then I like to count. It always happens, whether the girl is somewhat into me and I scare her off, or I hold back a little and they don't read things right, or my timing is off. Whatever the case, I haven't been able to find a girl who is willing to let herself get excited about datinsomeone and not having to hold back or play ridiculous games. It is enough frustration that I am almost willing to give up on the entire dating scene. If the right girl comes along, she will let me know right? I'm so tired of having my heart ripped out on such a frequent basis.
