When it comes to being a girl, we have crazy expectations. At some point in our lives, we're going to have to realize, we may not get everything we want out of a relationship.
1. Movies and Media.
Okay, I'm not even going to lie, as a girl we waste our days watching movies like The Notebook, and TV series like One Tree Hill. You know the power couples in all the TV shows and movies and that,s exactly what we're looking for, "the power couple." We want a guy like Chuck Bass, who will go completely out of his way to show his love for us. We want a guy like Nathan Scott, a guy who never settles down, but once he meets us, his life is changed and we become his whole world. We want a fairy tale relationship, we want someone from the movies, someone who will fight and make every day seem special and make us feel like we fall in love more and more everyday, and as unrealistic as that sounds its true, we brainwash ourselves with all these movies and TV shows then wind up texting our girlfriends at 1A.M like, "DID YOU SEE THAT EPISODE, THEY CAN'T BREAK UP, I LOVE THEM." We become obsessed with these relationships and can't help but want the guy we see on the screen.
2. We think there is a perfect guy out there for us.
Out of all those scummy piece of crap guys we STILL have faith that we will find the absolute perfect guy for us. We think that we're going to find the guy that checks off every box on our checklist. Is he funny? Is he outgoing? Is he hot? Is he caring? Does he like kids? Is he athletic? Yes, it may seem a little harsh for a girl to have a checklist and let a guy go if he doesn't check off a majority of those things on her list, but guys do too, they want a perfect girl who's loyal, cute, funny and everything they want. Point is, girls just think a little more into it than guys do, and no matter how long it takes we WILL find the perfect guy for us.
3. We have a plan on how we will fall in love.
We have a plan. We have a plan that one day we will be walking down the street, stop by a corner store to pick up our coffee before work and see a cute guy standing behind you, and maybe he'll smile when you turn to look at him and he'll smile at you and you'll smile back. Then, he'll offer to pay for your coffee and you guys will start talking and you'll start planning in your head. You'll imagine dates with him, kissing him, and all you're doing is sitting down, having coffee with a guy you never met and still all this stuff is rushing through your head, it's what girls do, we plan and hope for the best.
4. We've been hurt, and it's not that easy to just get back on the field.
We've been hurt, it's hard for me to talk on all girls behalf but i guarantee the majority of us have been hurt, and have had a hard time recovering for it. We're girls, we fall too hard for guys that don't care about us, we think we mean something to them but they turn around and prove that we don't mean anything to them and leave us crying with a broken heart. Being hurt by a guy can really mess with the confidence of a girl when it comes to dating or falling in love again. Once we've been hurt it's hard to convince us that not all guys are the same.
5. We see couples that gives us goals for the future.
We walk down the street to places like Downtown Royal Oak, Birmingham, or other places related to the few I named. We see a man and a women walking down the street, happy, dressed nice, and we think to ourselves, i want that one day. I want that happy, well-dressed, "goals" relationship. We see couples and they become this picture we have when we think of love and because of that sometimes we try a little too had to match that, "perfect couple" image.
