Is it okay to blame your failed relationships on Romantic Movies and Books that you've read? To point your finger at the two categories for giving you a high expectation of what a perfect relationship should be? Maybe the word 'blame' might be the wrong term but for them to give us an idea of the standards that us woman should be getting, should we thank them? or the other way around?
I myself, is a big victim of these crimes. I'm a big fan of movies that has a realistically sense of romance as well with characters that I come across with when reading books. I get attached easily to fictional stories and characters and I just can't help but apply the story to my own 19 year old life. I'm a sucker for Romance. I sometimes feel sorry for the guys who try to fill the spot of 'my guy' as my standard in a fella is just way too damn high. I remember reading a quote before saying..."Never apologize for having high standards, if somebody wants to be in your life they will reach your standard". And I will forever stand by that quote.
Reading a book and falling in love with the characters is a wonderful experience to have as I have experienced it quite a few times already. The way the author portrays the main characters in a sexy, dreamy, attractive way that you just wish that their character would come alive in your own life. It really has affected my relationships with people as I tend to expect something similar to them to the male characters I have fallen in love with in books. I don't exactly analyse every flaws they have and compare it to fictional characters but maybe something similar in which I hope they would do a romantic sweet gesture to show their love for me just like the way the male character in the book would do it.
Expectations way too high? Yes I know, that's why I lead myself to disappointments.
