Romeo, Romeo, Where for art thou, Romeo?

My problem is; I always want the fairytale.

I've been waiting for the likes of Mr Darcy and Landon Carters. You know, waiting for the guy that throws rocks at my window at 3am in the morning with a BoomBox playing our song - just for forgiveness at a petty row. The guy that tells the world he loves me and that I make him want to be a better person. The guy that stands on a coffee cart and declares his love for me, despite anything.
I want that guy.

Which i realise is a lot to ask. However, I can't remove the thought from my head because it's stuck there in permanent marker. All those love songs. All the romantic novels. All the films that I've watched throughout my life. They are all screaming the same thing.

I also know that nobody will realise I want this. I have been deemed "Realistic" and "Un-Romantic". This, however, is a fallacy. Yet, you can't grow up in this day and age pulling romantic stunts without being shunned from civilisation sometimes. So, my lack of romantic gestures is not a sure sign I dislike it - but that I'm waiting for the guy that does them back to me.

That's right, I'm waiting for a guy; to declare his love for me in public, to court me, to care enough to try.
Then maybe, just maybe, my romantic side will be able to shine through and I can have my very own fairytale.

So, if any guys read this. That is my advice to you. Try. If there is a girl you like ... And I mean really like and you're unsure of circumstance or opportunity. Then do something about it. Follow the moves of the great.

Run to the airport to meet her plane as it lands and surprise her with your compassion.

Write her a song.

Learn to do something she loves for her.

Take a leaf from "Casablanca", "Pride and Prejudice", "Notting Hill" and every other romantic thing available. There is a lot to go on. Try and see where it gets you. Romance and chivalry should not be dead. Otherwise we'll be promoting treating a girl like she doesn't matter and provoke similar thoughts in her own head.

Perhaps, what makes a girl so confusing is that she is confused herself. If you make it completely clear; don't flirt with others, don't halfheartedly do things and don't give up, then she wouldn't either. That is my advice. I believe if you show a girl that you're not going anywhere and then prove it by your actions. She wouldn't be so judgmental and suspicious.

Enough heavy. Just a thought. ^.^
Ta-rah! Love CBC <3 xxx
