ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND CUT! (Applause) ...

Yup, in the most silly way this sounds like a cheap meant-to-be-romantic scene in some stupid movie ... (and indeed it is)
I was never in for those kinda movies ... looked all the same bla bla bla to me ... yet ... now i know
that these words are wut any woman is looking for, whether she knows it or not ... summarized in one simple word .. to be "SECURE" ... someone who'd keep her safe, be there for her in time of need, support her in every possible way ... and mostly: just BE THERE for her ... not just in flesh and blood, but in soul ... invalidating her feelings and showing her emotional care.

Key is two words: "Emotional Security"

I can go around asking every girl i know about the characteristics of their prince charming, and each one of them would go:

  1. kind
  2. gentle
  3. caring
  4. smart
  5. has a good sense of humor
  6. good looking (if not simply FABULOUS ;))
  7. open-minded
  8. social
  9. independent
  10. responsible
  11. noble
  12. charismatic
  13. generous
  14. mature
  15. Career driven
  16. ambitious
  17. passionate
  18. compassionate
  19. giving
  20. honest
  21. loyal
  22. has integrity
  23. well cultured
  24. respectful and thoughtful of others
  25. hearty
  26. well-mannered
  27. flexible
  28. tolerant
  29. wise
  30. Well2Do
  31. settled
  32. sensible
  33. easy going

The list could just go on forever ...
But ah, well ... unfortunately, ppl come in packages ... they r not like "make ur own pizza" and we can just pick only the quality traits that we want and put them together to get that owesome prince charming we dream of ... and our earthly science have not yet reached the extent of technology that turned women into "models" tailored to fit every man's needs in "The Stepford Wives" ...

And while ppl come in packages, love is NOT selective ..
It is definately not true, in my humble openion, that love is blind ... it just puts on a magical pair of glasses that magnifies the good qualities of the beloved and blurrs away everything else in the view ... So, as for the blurred background, you can "see it" alright , u just don't put it into consideration ... u just send it over to the archives of your subconscious until one day, something happens .. the lens gets adjusted to put everything back where it belongs; the magnified qualities into their normal size and the blurred ones are clarified ...
Do love then turn into hate? ... it shouldn't ... it just matures.
It is said that "for every pot, there's a lid" and it is also said that "seeing is knowing" ... and when you come to see/know everything about your partner, the good and the bad, only then can you decide if you are really suitable for each other or not ... u r really a pot and a lid or not!
