What do you mean by "like this", OP? There are a couple different ways to interpret that, based on lyrics, visuals, or song as embedded in the story.

(SA)

--Based on the lyrics, "like this" is just immediately hitting it off with someone, feeling like you've known each other forever, just a snap connection. Nothing wrong with that. But it's not really something someone can do.
--Based on the visuals, "like this" is whirlwind dramatic... romance-y stuff, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary in most romance numbers in musicals. That tends not to be very practical in the real world, but general dramatic romance-y stuff isn't inherently bad, either. So if you want someone to take you dancing in weird places, I wouldn't worry about it.
--Based on the song's position in the story, "like this" is a brilliantly executed fast con to convince Anna they have everything in common, Hans's feelings are the same as hers, and her feelings are true love. That one's... an odd one to want. I guess you could find the idea of someone tailoring a personality to appeal to you nice?

Then you should make sure to stay in your ivory tower and wait until someone comes along and does it...good luck.

Well, I mean, that's the point of "Love Is An Open Door." It's supposed to be an idyllic romance. You're supposed to feel that Hans and Anna are made for each other, and that their courtship--though perhaps a bit hasty--is natural and perfect. It's pretty much the embodiment of "true love" or "love at first sight," and there's nothing wrong with wanting that. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be romanced in those that flowery, overt ways--especially if you have a partner that likes making grand, romantic gestures. What's wrong is assuming that there is something wrong with your real-life relationships because they aren't "perfect," or because your partner doesn't make those big, romantic gestures... It all comes down to communication, really. If you want to be romanced the way Hans and Anna romanced each other, you should communicate your desires, and maybe you can reach a nice middle ground. It's not all that difficult to dine by candlelight or go dancing--but expecting a waterfall backdrop or the most perfect, picturesque evening is probably a little much. I'm not saying that you need to "settle" for anything, but it's important to remember that real life does not always match up with fantasy. You can absolutely model your romance after "Love Is An Open Door," just don't get caught up in losing reality along the way.

Well, yeah. The musical number made it seem like they were soulmates, and I think a lot of people want that.

Yeah it seemed like they were having a really enjoyable, adventurous and playful first date. I mean sliding around the floor in your socks :D And dancing and walking and talking. There's nothing wrong with anyone of that. It was super cute. Then Hans revealed his dickery.

I think the moral was that you can just jump to rearranging your whole future for someone when you only knew them a day. Make sure you really know them first and then decide.

It does bother me that, personally, this was a far better romance song than the one for the real couple of the movie.
