Do Fairy Tale Romances Exist?
Since we were little, we always assumed that our romanticlives would be as perfect as they are in fairy tales.
One day Prince Charming would come to sweep you off your feet and you would live happily ever after in bliss . Unfortunately, many of us seem to delude ourselves that fairy tales are meant for everybody and more importantly, for the real world.
Dating Tip 1: Have Realistic Expectations On What Makes A Happy Relationship
Unless you have the ability to grow hair that someone can use to climb up a castle, you should keep your expectations far more realistic and avoid comparing your lovelives to the lives from characters out of a The Brothers Grimm tale. Your knight in shining armor shouldn’t be someone who would save you from a burning castle. He should be someone who will cook you dinner after a rough day at work. He should be someone who can carry meaningful conversations with your friends. He should be someone who loves you even when you’re PMSing and who will sit through your favorite groan-inducing reality shows with you.
Dating Tip #2: Be A Damsel In Power
Stop resorting to being a damsel in distress and rather be damsel in power.
A damsel in power is a woman who is supportive and doesn’t have Rapunzel-sized extensions running down her back. She should be someone who can handle being in a room with her boyfriend’s alcoholic father and not even bat an eye. She should be someone who loves her because he’s a good man and not because he makes a good salary they both can live off.
If you’re looking for the optimal romance, remember that you can live happily ever after if you choose to live within your realistic expectations of love. If not, you will find out first hand that some times happy fairy tale endings are for stories that haven’t ended yet.
