Not down with love

Although many surely would accuse me of being an anti-romantic they are sorely mistaken.
I am a somewhat cynical-romantic.
With that said I am sure there must by a myriad of questions concerning this classification. So I shall procede with a short primer on cynical-romanticism in a point style format.

• The cynical-romantic goes out of his way to appear non-romantic to ensure that the object of his appreciation does not deflate his mildly romantic scheme.
• He expresses love through doubt and dismay.
• He sees romance with quixotic eyes but with dark sunglasses.
• He relishes the challenge and scoffs at the absurb possibilities it would entail if it ever happens.
• He enjoys Valentine's Day alone with the hope that the cards, candy, flowers, and other assorted gifts were misplaced or still in the mail. (Or left in a foreign country.)
• He has big dreams and scorns the possibilities.
• He jeers the one thing he seeks yet remains passionate about it.

To all you Valentines out there. Just go ahead and try to be mine! Slan.
