Why am I a hopeless romantic and how can I stop

Don't stop, man.

If you're an extrovert, don't stop. Someone will find it appealing and romance will ensue.
If you're an introvert, stop immediately, you'll bring yourself nothing but pain and longing due to not being able to express yourself openly. Hope to god someone see's the beauty in you and saves you from that suffering.

Don't stop and don't let 4chan ruin you.

Let me guess, you're a guy, and below age 20.

Here's how to make it stop. Continue living. You'll get cynical, or realistic in no time. But hold onto it as long as you can. Life is better with that outlook. I still have a little bit of "it" in me, but it seems to be fading every day. Pretty soon I'll be like the rest of them. Institutionalized and reformed.
