The Fairy Tale Love vs. Real Life Love -What you Should Know

Ever since childhood I’ve been  kind of fascinated by this whole idea of falling in ‘fairy tale love’. That kind of perfect love which they usually show in fairytale movies where a charming prince on his white horse lands into a girl’s life from absolutely nowhere or in a Phillipian movie were a guy and a girl keeps falling in and in and in in love(like too much love scenes) Where, the guy comes to the girl’s rescue whenever she is in any trouble. Where, he treats his girl no less than a princess. Where, they live happily ever after. The kind of fairy tale love which every girl may not have lived, but definitely dreamt of. And I can vouch that every single girl in her teenage must have imagined herself in a fairy tale love. 

But when you gradually transform from a girl into a woman, you realise that, that kind of perfect fairy tale love, when sombody is deeply and madly in love with you from top to toe, doesn’t happen in real life. And now, standing in my early twenties, I have eventually realized that whatever they show in movies is too far-fetched, exactly like a scoop of ice-cream. It tastes sweet as long as it’s in your mouth but that happiness is momentary. It melts just in a moment. Fact is, real life is a bit too realistic and these fairy tale moments are too good to be true.Yes too good to even sound true. 

1. What we usually expect: A warm cozy morning with your partner lying on your side. Cuddling with you. Caressing your face. Gently placing each and every single strand of your loosely knit hair behind your ear.  And then waking you up with trucks of love whilst the early morning sunlight plays on your body, (well, that’s not my imagination wholly, that’s how I see it in any average romantic flick).

But on the other hand a usual morning will be like this: He is wrapped up in the bed sheets, hanging on the corner of the bed. Snoring! Sleeping on the pillow with you yelling at him for watching soccer or cricket till late hours and asking him to wake up and get ready for the officeor something. Isn’t it?

2. Believe me. No one, absolutely no one, comes running from a one mile distance (or on his bike or car, even) during the dead of the night and waits right below your balcony, just to get a glimpse of you! Whenever I watch something like this, I question myself.  Will someone ever do something like this for me? Then, my heart whispers, don’t listen to Taylor Swift’s songs anymore!Chris brown is even guilty.. 

3. This fairy tale moment is one of my favorite: Falling asleep on his shoulder during a ten minute bus ride – but not at all happening in real life! Usually, either he is too busy to offer you a shoulder to sleep on. Or the destination arrives too quickly and the bus stops before you fall asleep! Lol. 

4. Most common fairy tale moment: A ball night. The guy took the girl out on a shopping spree. Spent some four-five hours. Changed some twenty-thirty dresses, but still nothing clicked. Guy started getting cranky and then suddenly the girl comes out of the changing room wearing an extremely beautiful fairy like dress, looking like an angel. OMG! Guy’s jaw dropped. Totally dumbstruck because of the inexplicable beauty of his woman!

Hope you do see such scene in movies? Frankly speaking, I have never seen a guy doing this for his lady in real life. Actually, the fact is that most of the men do not enjoy shopping as much as women do. For them, shopping is a horribly eccentric and bizarre activity(too much grammar) To be precise, an emotional binge! The very idea of taking their women out on a shopping spree pisses most of them off. And if somehow they do take you out, they prefer to pick the first dress you try on.

5. Wipe off entirely all those lovely scenes of cooking food or washing dishes together with your partner, from your mind. And don’t you even dare to dream of getting a birthday cake baked exclusively by him or an early morning breakfast served in bed. Things like this, hardly happen in real life.lol..im just trying to get you real facts. 

6. All the working ladies.They don’t want to drop you to your workplace every morning and they don’t want to pick you up from your workplace every single evening. So, do not keep high expectations.Most of you can testify to this

And then there is a whole list of anniversaries and birthdays which didn’t end up with a candle light dinner and a bouquet of roses.Dearie, do not be heartbroken if he misses your wedding anniversary or birthday. Every day may not end up like a fairy tale but I am sure that you must have definitely experienced at least some of these kinds of fairy tale moments in your life. Love them? Then, cherish them.Thanks y'all.
