3 Fictional Characters That Set Our Standards For Love

In This Article:

You would be lying if you did not form some kind of crush or interest on a fictional character in either a film or a book. Whether it is a Netflix romcom or series of books, we all have wished we had someone like the character we liked in the type of medium being used.

It is understandable to want bonds like the ones shown to us and even though it is fictional, it is okay that our expectations are high. It is not fair to us to settle for something, we all deserve the treatment people get in the movies.

Here are three fictional characters that really set our high standards for love, and who make it seemingly impossible for the average guy to impress nowadays.

Edward Cullen from Twilight

"No measure of time with you, would be long enough. But we'll start with forever."

Need I say more?

Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy

From @patrickdempsey

A house made out of candles and a marriage proposal through x-rays in an elevator, how can it get much better than that?

Simon Basset from Bridgerton

From @regejean

An enemies to lovers story, a rather relatable one at best. A gentleman with a dark side, who doesn't crave a little mystery in our love lives?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.
