Is it normal that some people won't let go of false hope?

So, my room mate's love life... (cue 15 minutes of rolling laughter from an audience) Thank you... Thank you... Ummm yeah, thank you...

OK so each time she tries online dating and lands in yet ANOTHER situation that sucks, she reverts her thoughts back to one woman.
Yes she dates women. Someone on here should make a thread, "Is a woman a lesbian if she dates other women" cause SOME retard will.

But anyways, five years ago she started talking to some chick on whatever dating site. They text once in a while and have hung out exactly once. Yet every time a relationship hits the rocks, my room mate starts saying, "Maybe I could try to date (that woman) again..."

There was never anything there to begin with. Yet, my room mate is STILL having fantasies that something might magically happen if they text.

Is it normal for some people to keep false hope alive for FIVE years even with no evidence that anything is going to come of it?

    I'm not into the idea of hope in general but I understand that most people need that to stay sane.

    I'd say it's normal.

    It's not normal, but it's common.
