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.
