I love that line. [Credit goes to Demi Lovato, from her song "Everything You're Not" from her new album, Here We Go Again.]
But while we're on that topic...
I have never had a (real) boyfriend. People who know me personally know what I'm talking about. A lot of the reason is because I'm uber shy, especially around guys. Especially especially around cute guys. But I think another part of the reason is because my expectations of a guy are quite high.
First off, I'm an uber romantic at heart. I watch all the romance chick flicks, read all Nicholas Sparks's novels. I want that happy ending. I want that perfect relationship.
Second off, I crush on celebrities. A lot. Really hard. Especially amazing guys like Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas, and the gentlemen of Honor Society, Michael Bruno, Alexander Noyes, Andrew Lee, and Jason Rosen. And I know it's unrealistic that I will EVER get with them, they set the standard of how a guy should be pretty high. Especially since they're celebs, and so far have not had any dirty laundry aired out in public. They are talented, good looking, kind, generous, funny, and COMPLETE gentlemen. Practically perfect.
This could be seen in a good, or bad way.
Good, because with my standards so high, I won't choose guys who are headed down the wrong path, who will hurt me in any way.
But bad, because with my expectations so high, I won't take risks. I won't live and experience and learn from those hurt from those risks. I may never find "the One."
So what do you think? Are having high expectations for relationships good or bad? Should I keep waiting for the perfect one? Or should I take a risk on someone who may or may not be the one?

I feel like you just typed this straight out of my life.
ReplyDeleteI am the EXACT SAME WAY. Never been in a relationship... I have high standards, I guess you could say. Mainly I'm not going to settle.
And I like celebrities. A lot. Too much.
Typically when I crush on someone, it's hardcore and I REALLY REALLY like them a LOT, but I'm always too scared to say anything.
Though the more I learn about life... the more I think the risk is worth it. Can't say I've taken that risk, but it can never hurt. How else would we learn about what we really want and what a deal breaker might be?
