I wrote this in the midst of doodling on a four hour train ride from Switzerland to Paris.
To my surprise, after sharing what I wrote, a few women responded, ‘That man doesn’t exist!’
I thought the qualities were pretty simple.
But I was waken up out of my fairy tale pretty quickly.
I had to ask myself, “Have we allowed ourselves to lower our expectations of men THAT much in this day and age, that we don’t think that we can have a significant other that does the small things?”
We hear so many heart-warming stories from couples whose love stood the test of time, and we always wonder in the back of our minds, “Will I ever experience a love like that?”
It’s clear that the dating scene has changed dramatically. Courting has become a lost art. Sometimes, we as women are so wrapped up in our independence that we don’t even stop at a door long enough for a man to open it.  Texting, sending Dm’s and private messages on social media has replaced phone calls and letter writing.
Still, I do believe the love I want exists.
I’ve learned that the things you want only exists, if you believe they exist. If  you truly believe you are worthy and deserving of those things, they will eventually appear in your life.
