What’s wrong with a little rom-com?

As long as I can remember I’ve always loved watching rom-coms. The dudes are funny, the girls are confident and the bond is immaculate - a true love story. And let’s not forget to mention that both are extremely attractive, this could be because of their complex but very relatable characters. But have rom-coms ruined my look on relationships? 

The older I get and the longer I’m in a stable relationship, the more I’m questioning whether or not I’ve found “my one”. I’ve always had a crystal clear vision of the kind of relationship I’d be in with my “one”. There would be highs and there would be lows, but there would be a lot of passion. 

You can call me old fashioned, but what’s not to love about being adored and a little bit spoiled. Where are the daily messages, the random flowers and most of all the gestures we’re so used to seeing on the big screen? 

Are we willing to settle for a comfortable life or do we want someone who would build us a house? These are questions I ask myself a lot. The old fashioned kind of love guys seem rare and hard to find, or maybe they didn’t even exist at all. 

When is it time to let go of your childhood dreams? Aren’t you supposed to know when you’ve found the one or are we all just overthinking it too much nowadays? 

Just me, a cup of coffee, and a thought I can’t shake.

What’s yours?
