Sharon Tohhigh expectations
August 27th 2006 00:26
I had the highest expectations of a guy, like any other girl who'd daydream about her knight in shining armour to the rescue, I would remain waiting for that very day, throwing out every other uneligible guy out of the way.. I would wait for Romeo, for Christian from Moulin Rouge, Noah from the Notebook, the prince from Ever After, Jack from Titanic, Heath Ledger's character from A Knight's tale... the list goes on..
but then it really comes down to this..
life isn't a fairytale, or a movie, its down right reality.. Perhaps you're never satisfied in your relationships because you expect too much from your partner and cannot realise that they're only human as well..
I believe as females, we tend to overanalyse and critique our feelings alot.. if we don't get what we want we become upset.. We think too highly of ourselves, that men should know everything there is to know about us and when they fail to, we drown in misery.
Perhaps cherish what you have now, someone who loves you who does not intentionally try hurt you.. or when you meet someone new, see their personality and whether or not they're fun to be with rather than the efforts they use to romance you.

there was a funny (but true quote from the simpsons:
Lisa Simpso - Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.
television depict what romance should be like these days. Relationship fail one after the other because people expect their partners to be movie idols. Be it Christian from Moulin Rouge in your case or Emily Friehl from a lot like love in my case, we all tend so seek characteristics of a fairy tail in our relationships
BUT
We are talking about long lasting relationships here. Perhaps you should not settle for what you have. settle for second best might not be the best choice! There is that song from def lepard all i want is every thing. that all. stepping into a serious relationship that you want to lead to buying adog , and making babies etc is a big thing, and divorce is not cool! So why would you settle for second best?
I belive, and any one is welcome to differ, but we have to work to get what we want and not settle for second best.
