Unrealistic expectations in men...

..and I blame Twilight...seriously, how can you not want someone like Edward Cullin...vampire or not..I'm about to start the third book, Eclipse (if Alice would just hurry up finishing it..!) and I'm officially addicted. I haven't felt like this about a book in ages..I kind of stopped reading for years, and it's just recently that I've discovered what I've been missing. This whole other world to disappear into...and what a great world that is.

From the facebook group "Because I read Twilight I have unrealistic expectations in Men":

After reading the Twilight series you want your lover to...- Play piano

- Be able to protect you from oncoming traffic with only his fist

- Quote Romeo & Juliet to you ( not sure about this one..I mean I love Romeo and Juliet, but not sure if I really want my man to feel the same...I'm still all for men being men..)

- Only have eyes for you even when a hot waitress is throwing herself at him

- Not be embarrassed that he only dreams about you (if he could dream, that is)

- To not want to live in this world if you're not in it

- To write a lullaby for you

- To be able to read other people's minds to let you know what is coming

It's like being 12 again, just after watching Titanic for the first time... even when you're not reading (or watching the movie) you mind wanders off into this other world. 12 years later I can admit I cried for days after watching Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) sink to the bottom of the ocean...Pathetic one might say, but what do you expect from a 12 year old little girl dreaming of soul mates and endless love..

Things do change though, you grow older and (hopefully)wiser and you start to settle for "endless love until next month"...but every now and then the little girl inside you reappears and makes you think..and hope..that one day ..a special someone will look you in the eye and tell you that there is no way he will want to live in a world without you..

And maybe even write you a lullaby.

Some might consider it a waste of time and emotions ( I mean common, if I'm not mistaken over 50 % of marriages end in divorce at some stage..), but as for now I'm holding on to the 12 year old in me who still looks at the world with hope that there is an Edward Cullen out there for everyone..
