A rhetorical question...

Why is it that we know that the Cinderella story is a myth, yet we always seem to keep searching for it? We look for that Prince Charming to give us the big house with the white picket fence, the dog the cat, the 2.5 kids.....yet we know that it's just unrealistic.

Of course, this comes from the person who believes that every relationship has a 99% chance of ending, so I go into it really having no expectations. I might love someone, but I'm not planning a future or a wedding or a family. I guess I just don't see the point.


Maybe I'm just too much of a pessimist.

I agree with this post. Life is too dynamic to plan things too far into the future.

I never plan anything. My plans never work out, so I just do everything on the fly.

As for the relationships, yeah. Very rarely work out.

Well I can see your point but then again it's a fairy tale ya know..

I mean you have couples both have thier shit. Ya know no one is perfect. In fairy tales everything is perfectly black and white. Life is all gray..

Otherthen i know how you feel i can say i am going through a simialr thing. Just the way i see it. I can't control peoples emotions and feeling I can just do and try my very best to be what i feel is a good human being... and maybe some one is interested or maybe not w/e i just keep busting my ass to get ahead and focus on me (and i promise it's 20 billion times harder then it sounds) ya know.. Anyways keep your head miss you'll be fine

My biggest problem with that whole statement is this:

give us

Don't ever wait for anybody to give you the things you want out of life, find a way to get them yourself. It's not an easy thing, don't get me wrong, but once folks quit waiting on somebody else to come along and rescue them or somebody else to make them happy, make them feel pretty, make them feel loved and start taking care of those things themselves, you just never know what might happen. You gain self confidence and learn to love yourself and that is often the key to finding somebody who will truly love you and who deserves your love in return.

I know it makes me sound like some kind of flaming, liberal feminist, and I'm not, Im about as old-fashioned as they come in a lot of respects, but I truly believe that as women if we focus on a) our children, making them as happy and healthy as they can be and raising them to respect and love themselves and b) learn to love ourselves and take care of ourselves and our family, that we're much better off in life.

But, dont ever forget, a good man will work alongside you, not wait for you to "take care of" him either. Men need to love themselves and have self-respect too for them to be deserving of your love.

I know it seems like there aren't a lot of them out there, but there are, you just have to look in places you're not used to sometimes.

I'll get off my Mom-soapbox now before I start rambling. Maybe I need another beer *G*

You words are very wise and make anything I would post superfluous.
