Whether you think you're a romantic or a realist, or one of the two but really the other, the easiest indicator for what you are is to look at your decisions in regards to relational circumstances. Realists face the facts and make a logical decision for possibility of that relationship. Romantics urgently pursue and attempt to overcome any and all obstacles like it was their last chance at happiness.
If you don't feel like you're one of these two in particular, that's because there is a secondary element that factors into it. That is pessimism and optimism. I think this can be best illustrated by a graph.
Well, there it is. I think that's pretty much self explanatory and a little too revealing of my own personal emotional roller-coaster. I'm not arguing one is better than the other, but it's probably a good idea to keep some distance from the lower pessimistic region. Keep this graph in mind when considering what type of person you are and be the realist/optimist, realist/pessimist, romantic/optimist, or romantic/pessimist that you were meant to be.
Note: two people in similar sectors/areas on this graph does not automatically mean compatibility. In fact, it could be complete incompatibility to be in the same area in some cases.
