7. If you expect a man to go all over creation just to buy you a bouquet of flowers, you may not like the result. Tarzan goes out of his way to find a lovely bouquet of flowers for Jane - swinging in trees, picking flowers with his toes - and before he is able to give them to her, they are trampled and only the stems remain. But yet love prevails, and he gives her the remaining stems with somehow (how now?) one flower still intact; it's such a lovely moment...in cartoon life.
Now image your guy showing up at your house with a bunch of stems (likely if he only has stems there isn't going to be even one flower still remaining), and presenting them to you with a smirk on his face; definitely isn't as good. In the movies, you get to see the before and after. In real life, you only get to hear about the before and then see the after. It's not much good if he explains why he is standing there holding a bunch of weeds; it only makes a difference if you saw what he went through to get them (which would ruin the purpose entirely seeing as though flowers can only be bought as a surprise...pfft boys...).
8. Don't expect him to use lines that refer back to your past together, ie. "ASSSSSSS YOUUUU WISSSSSSH!!!!" Not going to happen.
9. If you're waiting for him to write you a song as clever and as sweet as Adam Sandler's for Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer, you might have to wait awhile. While some have musically gifted boy's with voices like angels, most of us do not. All we can hope for is to catch them singing quietly along to Passenger Seat while they are sitting in the passenger's seat.
10. Jealously. Some men have it, some men don't have enough of it. For those ladies who are thinking "Would it hurt you to be jealous once and awhile?", I believe you're really thinking "Give me my deserved attention FOO!", but do you really want to be like Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop? Some of my friends have dated overly jealous people, and have said they wouldn't do it again. Yes, it's nice to have the feeling that someone is jealous over you, but don't beg for it...you'll just look foolish, and who knows...he may punch out one of your best buddies because of it.
11. It's been ten years since you've seen your old love...don't expect him to have gone all Bruce Wayne on you.
12. Believe you'll find the one through a series of freak accidents that lead up to a romantic ending. Freak. Accidents. Seriously, there are other ways.
13. Don't expect him to be standing on the sidewalk outside of your favorite coffee hut while you're inside ordering a latte-whatever, when he was suppose to have left for London a couple of hours ago...AND he's holding a single rose. I applaud any guy who actually sacrifices a trip to Europe to stay at home because he love's his lady so. At the same time, I think I would slap him. (I can't recall a specific example for this one at the moment, but we all know they are out there.)
Be expecting more dating themed blogs. It's the only thing I know; I'm basically a guru.
