Fairytale Love?



Ask any girl what they want from love and the answer will always be simple; a fairytale.

In all the movies, no matter what genre, there seems to be a fairytale love. You know the type I mean, two people are brought together, fall head over heels in love with each other but neither will admit it. They argue and break apart, they assume its the end, but we know it never is. After a lot of chasing and romantic gestures, the girl finds herself in her very own fairytale right there in the middle of ordinary everyday life.

But is there such a thing as Prince Charming? Will every girl out there really find someone who can whisk them off their feet and take them away from reality into a world where dreams come true? For many, the idea of such love is unrealistic; its make believe. As much as we submerge ourselves into the escapism offered from romantic comedies and fictional novels, the ability to have such love ourselves just doesn't seem to exist.

Every girl just wants someone to love, and in turn be loved. They want someone to wipe the tears from their eyes when they are sad, to share the laughs with when they are happy and to hold them when they need to be held.

It seems nowadays girls will put themselves out, be used and abused, allow themselves to be walked all over, when really, deep down, all they truly desire is to be wanted; to be loved.

Is there such thing as fairytale love? Are there really guys out there who will do everything and anything they can to show a girl just how much they love them? Do people in real life get serenaded from outside their bedroom windows? Do they get flowers delivered to them everyday until they forgive? Does a guy really do everything in his power to win back the girl that they realise they love, or do they simply give up? Will a guy lay with you, just to be near you and hold you in their arms til morning? Will they tell you how they feel without the prompts? Do they really do the little things that every girl longs for just to know that someone cares?

Us girls just want to believe that fairy tales are real, that romance is alive, that there is such a thing at true love, that there really is a 'happy ever after.'

Although we may have to kiss our fair share of frogs on the way, here's hoping that one day, we might meet our very own Prince Charming and find that in fact, fairytales can come true...
