Valentine's Day:

Will you be mine?

Sometimes the thrill is in the chase. If you genuinely are in love you will go through extreme measures to prove your love and to teach a lesson. And if you aren't well then you don't have to do anything. Here is the thing though, women are generally waiting to be rescued and men are generally scared.

What sucks about this arrangement is that too often we mistake a lot of things for love like perhaps the "idea" of loving and being loved and we get confused about what love actually is, what it feels like. By that time we are in our 30's and going through some sort of midlife crises, then we say to ourselves is this love or is this a midlife crises?
Hence, there we are- right were we started.

Woman: I want the fairy tale.
Man: I am not Edward Lewis.

We really want to know what it is like to be rescued, but how do we separate genuine from douche bag? It's a difficult task and especially hard on holidays like Valentine's day where its a douche eat douche world.

So in ode to all the douches both women and men, you will not be mine... but hey look at the bright side you'll still have each other.

Forever the fairytale,
Me.
