For a lot of people in college it is the time to find yourself. For a lot this can mean hooking up with people and having one night stands. I am happy for people who are happy and being themselves and living the life they want. It's just not for me. Hooking up just isn't my cup of tea. Several college guys don't seem to understand that. I want to date long term, and the guys that I meet do not feel the same. It has progressively gotten more difficult. Why would I sell myself short when I know that I deserve someone who will treat me like a queen? It just doesn't make sense.

So many guys I have met so far are the hook up type. No labels, no commitment, no feelings. I just don't understand it. Why wouldn't you want a person that is always there for you? Always have a hand to hold, have a person to watch cheesy movies with, and someone to be your partner in crime? I want that, and I have always wanted that. It might be cliché but that is just the truth.

Now I know that not all guys are like this. There are a small few that also want long term commitment, I just can't find 'em. If I do find them they are just not my type or vice versa. I hate having to spend my days waiting for this so called 'prince charming' when I know he is out there. I know that the longer I wait the more chance of my perfect someone coming along and sweeping me off my feet, but I am an impatient girl. Who says I have to wait for him to find me?

This whole dating scene is just difficult in college. If you sleep around you are labeled as a slut and if you don't you are a prude. Why can't I just find someone who wants what I want? In all honesty, I just want to be happy. I want to find someone that makes me happy and encourages me to live my best life.

So imagine this. You wake up, and you check your phone and it's a good morning message from your special someone telling you to have a great day. Or you wake up right next to them and smile because you are so happy just being next to them. You go about your day planning a night out with them and go grab coffee at your favorite spot. It is complete bliss.

Imagine you wake up next to someone. You can't remember their name, you grab your shoes and sneak out the door. You get back to your room and you plan a night out to do it all over again.

The first sounds much more appealing to me.

So Dear future Prince,

I hope you can handle my craziness. I hope that you find me soon. Most of all, I hope we can make each other happy because that is all I really want.
