Romance vs. Reality

Hollywood is to blame. They set women up with all of those unrealistic expectations. All those rom-coms with the woman struggeling through her life with obstacles thrown in her way, until she meets prince charming who is going to make everything okay. Of course there is always the little hitch with either another women, some problem or a mis-communication. But it all turns out okay in the end. Nothing like real life. That's the problem. You come to expect that as you plod through the daily grind of your life, some cute guy is just going to come along and make everything alright.
It sucks when you find the guy, imagine thousnds of scenarios that end in "the kiss" or him sweeping you off your feet. But realtiy strikes and you realise that he doesn't even know your alive. He has a girlfriend. The high maintenance bitch who is not nice to him and enjoys making your life hell. Or he is crushing on your friend. Perving on some backpacker whatever!
Does Hollywood need to get real or do we? The Breakup with Jen and Vince was real. They didn't get back together. How many women sat through that thinking "I hope they get back together - they make such a cute couple!"
People want to be in a community, they want to be in a couple. They want to find another person that understands them, makes them happy (is good in bed) the yin and yang. We work better that way. When you don't have that, you want it so much more.
But what can you do? Stalk someone and hope they give in? Not too many Hollywood movies based on that theory.
So I sit here, waiting for my Prince Charming.

Boys

Boys are stupid. (but they are so worth it!)
