You have gone to great lengths for love, whether you were successful in your endeavors or not. You may have a spouse you would give the world to, be willing to go on entire journeys to earn your beloved's hand, or even attempt to break the laws of nature to revive your lover from the dead. Perhaps your feelings are one-sided, and you are seeking to prove your worth to someone, or you want to become famous to have a shot with a parasocial paramour. Hell, maybe your devotion isn't even single-minded (or single-targeted)and you go head over heels for most any potential sweetheart you happen upon!
Whatever the case is, you are almost ludicrously dedicated to someone. Does this dedication go both ways? Are you in a relationship with your beau, or are you still fighting for the chance? Is this your first relationship of this nature, or are you experienced in the field? How do you express your affections? Have you always been the romantic type, or did you meet someone that changed your perception of yourself? What lengths would you go to for your beau? What have you done for them before?

Smudges of lipstick, jewelry that was clearly given by someone else, or even just that twinkling look in their eye– through experience, you have learned to recognize the signs of romantic involvement. Whether someone is open about this involvement or not, you are aware of it. This information could serve as anything from a conversation starter to blackmail depending on the context.
Suggested Characteristics
Hopeless romantics have tied much of their identity to their relationship with a specific person, but they do have characteristics outside of this. Much of their connection to the world is centered around how they interact with other people, beloved or not.
Your pursuit of love is very single-minded and rather one-sided. You know everything about your beau, and have an in-depth knowledge of how to get this information. Digging through trash cans, following around corners, memorizing schedules… valuable skills, sure, but most anyone who catches you in the act will be quite alarmed— beau included.
