Every little girl grows up planning out the rest of her life, what age she's going to get married, how many kids she will have, but most importantly, the day she meets her Prince Charming. The guy that will always bring a smile to her face, be there for her when she's down and will spend the rest of her life with. Every girl has standards for her Prince Charming, standards that she may think will never be met because they are so high, so she begins to settle for average.
Settling for just average is not OK. If the guy does not meet your standards, some other guy will. Settling can bring a lot of heartache and misery. When growing up your whole life talking about that perfect someone to everybody around you, they expect that perfect someone also.
When you walk in with that "average" guy, people begin to question it. That average guy you think you are in "love" with is not the person you have always dreamed about. He's the guy you have always said you would never date. As days, weeks, months, and even years go by, this guy eventually shows his true colors.
This average guy is manipulative, rude and arrogant. He does not treat you with respect. He does not show you off to his family like you're the queen of England. He does not put you above others like he should. This guy manages who you hang out with and what you do. But most importantly, this guy does not respect your family.
You are so mesmerized by the relationship that you think you have found your Prince Charming. Before long you begin to distance yourself from your family and friends. You start to delete messages from your phone in fear that he might go through and get mad. You begin to change your looks and who you are as a person. You start to mess with your future just to make him happy.
You need to think to yourself, "Is he worth it?" because he's probably not. One day your Prince Charming will unexpectedly come and sweep you off your feet. He will treat you and your family with respect. He will put you first and want to show you off to everybody like you're the Queen of England. He's going to trust you so you will not have to worry about erasing your messages just in case he goes through your phone, because he probably will not do that. He will respect your parents and your decisions for your future. He will truly love you for you. He will be the Prince Charming that you have always dreamed about with the standards that have been met.
Never settle for just anyone. Stick to the high standards you have created for your perfect man. He may not come at your convenience, but he is out there looking for his Queen.
