How to Stop Waiting for Prince Charming
-
If you haven't found Prince Charming yet, be very worried. Be worried that you're betting on a dream that has the potential to divest you of common sense, personal financial resourcefulness, and self-fulfillment directed from within. While the idea of Prince Charming has some qualities to recommend it (such as looking for a partner who is caring and considerate), on the whole you're much better off quitting the fantasizing and sizing up your life's plans with boldness and sagacity instead.
Think about why you fantasize about Prince Charming. What is Prince Charming to you? For quite a few romantically inclined girls and women, Prince Charming is the idealized male who will sweep you off your feet and solve all cares henceforth, not to mention being extremely handsome, funny, entertaining, and focused solely on you. Is this sounding like a Disney cartoon or a soap opera already? Think about how fair it is to hold every potential future mate to the high standard of being so perfect, handsome, and so clued into your every wish and need. And think about where that leaves you – do you still expect to be independent, financially resourceful, able to make your own decisions, and happy to pursue your chosen life goals? Or will Prince Charming mark an end of some of these things for you, and a transfer of your independence and responsibility in return for being cared for with the expectation that rough patches won't ever happen? Try hard to inject some realism into what Prince Charming actually means for you, both right now, and in the longer term.
