Im mad! Im upset that i have been set up to believe that true love is an instant free thing...that it's easy to find, because its not. My whole life I have been waiting for someone to literally sweep me off of my feet, just like in the movies and I have clearly been misinformed. If this were true, all I would have to do is something cute like slip and fall in front of a fireman's station and prince charming would be there to catch me and we would fall in love, get married and make babies. It seems ridiculous right? Too bad a large percent of women in the world, including myself have thought of love this way. I have learned being single all throughout college that dating is a battlefield of hilarious stories and single moments, but college is usually not the foundation where relationships begin. So many girls just want to be taken out and cared for, but a lot of times what we want does not match up with what they want. When do we (men and women) meet up and level off? Does it ever happen? I get so discouraged sometimes and I know im not alone. I hear about so many wonderful women that grow to be in their late 30s and sometimes older women who never have found someone to spend their lives with. Could that be because we all look at love in the eyes of hopeless romantics and want our stories to match up with the romantic comedies we watch on televsion while eating a pint of ben and jerry's? We have been raised to think of love in this way. The problem is, I think I will always be a hopeless romantic and I still have hope that someday it will happen. Should I be worried?
