<human>: So basically my and my girlfriend broke up about 2 months ago after a year being together. We were in love with each other and quite happy but an unexpected break up from her resulted in my contemplating love and the different takes on it. 

I deem myself a bit of a hopeless romantic that will put everything I have into the relationship and even when things aren't going so smooth I'll still stick in there and hope that we can work towards a better tomorrow (until a point of course), where as my ex was always looking towards the future (she stated that she couldn't see herself settling down with me, wtf at age 20?) and was quite rational and didn't really have a sort of 'hopefulness' I guess?

Anyway I've just been thinking and would love to get everyone's take on the different types of lover and if it really is possible that opposites can stay together?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Do some people just take things for granted when it comes to love? Can opposites attract? The pain of being a hopeless romantic.
