Like every other little girl, especially during the big Disney princess times, grew up with the wrong motives for dating and marriage. I'm learning that really fast while watching Disney movies with my boyfriend. Now at the age of 31, I am very disappointed in Disney. For those of you who know me, you might never thought I would have said that, especially since Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite movie in my life. I'm not against any of them but we need to be careful with them.
Life can come true like in the movies. It could be a happily ever after but not everything is that easy or romantic like in the movies. I was watching Beauty and the Beast with my boyfriend and I saw a lot of things that are happening to me now while with him and they are so simple but for some reason when I was a little girl I thought they had to be more romantic to be meaningful. They don't. This is where the title "Really Romantic vs. Really Simple" comes in.
"Really Romantic" is just really in the mind of a women or was for me. I am all for a romantic first date that is candle lit or every date being romantic. A date at a romantic and really nice restaurant. A romantic first Valentine's Day with that special someone. That romantic first kiss with the foot popping up and then everyone after that one. What I am also learning while those dreams are great and all. They are not the only dreams out there and sometimes they are impossible to reach. Guys don't want to be put through that much pressure. It is even better when they do it on their own with you telling then how and what to do. Probably the most romantic thing is a wedding and yes I have high, romantic hopes for that but again I can see where it also can be simple too.
"Really Simple" is what I really love and what's really romantic to me. I say all the time that I am a simple, country girl and I am especially now. I could care less about those fancy eating out dates or any fancy dates, fancy gifts, don't need flowers all the time, holidays don't have to be fancy at all, and so forth. Now don't get me wrong I still like those really romantic things because they show I am a girl but simple things are just the same. An evening on the couch watching a Disney movie or a night of a cooked in meal, doing part of a puzzle, and watching a movie or just walking a trail or window shopping and smelling candles. Letting him see me without make up most of the time and not having to worry about what he thinks about me without it on.
Little kisses on the cheek and forehead. Just spending time with the one you love is or should be romantic. I could go on and on about the simple things that mean so much like holding hands. When you know the one you love will do anything for you and try anything for you, that's romance for me now. I am just seeing more and more of how simple I really am. I don't even care whose house as long as we are together. I am that simple, country girl and I love it. There is nothing at all wrong with that when you find the guy that loves you for it.

The lesson here is not to get so caught up in the really romantic. While it might be nice to think about it while you are single, don't let that stop you from dating or finding the right one for you. Give it time and you will hopefully get use to it and see that the simpler it is, the better it really is. I am a simple girl and there is nothing wrong with that at all.
