Seven Things Fairy Tales Teach Women About Their Perfect Match

iStock_000002413968SmallFairy tales are happy because they end right. It’s comforting, familiar and just what women are looking for in life. And they might not seem very realistic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn anything from them.  In fact, fairy tales teach women seven important things about their perfect match.

Fairy Tales and Life

Lots of girls dream of wearing a beautiful white dress and going to an altar to meet the perfect groom and sailing into the sunset for a happily ever after. Most people feel that that’s where the fairy tale ends. Life takes over and things go downhill. That’s not true. Life may not seem like a fairy tale, but a lot of lives don’t, including the lives of the fairy tale princesses. Think about it. Sleeping Beauty didn’t have parents and was raised in the woods by three fairies who didn’t let her talk to anyone else. Snow White had a stepmother who hated her and tried to kill her. But they still met their perfect match, and they recognized him when they showed up.

Things Women Can Learn From Fairy Tales About Their Perfect Match

So what CAN you learn from fairy tales about your perfect match? Think about these things.

1-      He’s charming.

He’ll make you fall in love with him. You won’t help being attracted to him and you’ll want to make the relationship with him work.

2-      He’s perfect for YOU.

He might not be right for someone else. Your friends might not find your perfect match is attractive or funny, but you do, and that’s what’s important. He complements you.

3-      He doesn’t come when you expect him to come.

The right person might not walk into your life until much later than you expect. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late. Snow White was dead when he came. Probably, she’d have expected him to save her, and he did – with a kiss and not a sword.

4-      He doesn’t come too late.

It’s not over until it’s over. Just because you haven’t met your perfect match yet doesn’t mean you’re not going to meet him. Just keep your eyes open.

5-      The meeting is just the beginning.

After you meet your perfect match, there’s a lot left to come. The fairy tales call it “happily ever after” but for the rest of the world, it’s life.

6-      Kisses matter.

Sometimes, it’s really easy to skip the part of the relationship where you’re taking it show and getting to know one another. Especially if you’ve had sex, it’s really easy to take the beginning of a relationship for granted. But kissing matters. How a person kisses says a lot about them. It can tell you if they just want sex, or if they’re willing to wait. A kiss might not save your life, but it can definitely change your life.

7-      They don’t change, but your perspective can.

You shouldn’t be with someone you want to change. It doesn’t happen. But the way you see the person can change.

Fairy tales always seem distant from real life, but they can teach women a lot about life, relationships and their perfect matches.

Successful Dating Might Start With Your Best Friend?

Are you dating your best friend?  If you you’re not then you should be; well, at least you should be if you want to be in a great mature dating relationship.  Of course, this advice is not advocating that you should date your actual best guy friend if you’re a girl or your best girl friend if you’re a guy.  This advice is merely suggesting that if you truly do want to be fully participating in a mature dating relationship then you should date someone who is both a best friend and a romantic interest.  You need both factors to be alive and active in your relationship if you want to have a great mature dating relationship.

So, why is dating someone who is your romantic partner and your best friend the right thing to do?  Well, to begin with, you will have the best of both worlds.  Passion and romance is great, don’t get me wrong, but if you want a mature dating relationship with long-term potential, if all you have is passion and romance, then you do not have much.  Passion and romance will fade with age and unlike a good wine or cheese that gets better with age, passion and romance usually fade as your relationship goes on and if you want to maintain that mature dating relationship with long-term potential then you really need to work hard to keep that passion and romance going.  So, when you add in the ingredient of friendship, you have something great to work with and that adds a great deal of potential to your mature dating relationship.

What do best friends do?  They do what people in mature dating relationships do.  They hang out together and they enjoy spending time together and they offer each other that unconditional love and respect that you and your partner will need if you want to experience that mature dating relationship with long-term potential.  Best friends listen to each other and they communicate well and they don’t allow most conflicts to cause rifts between them as could very easily be the case if you were not both best friends and romantic partners.

Best friends easily support each other and find the best qualities in their best friend; they don’t get caught up in the harsh realities of the dating seeking journey, and those harsh realities can make it more difficult to fully participate in a mature dating relationship.  If you want to have a mature dating relationship with your partner you need to take some lessons from the relationships that people have with their best friends.  You need to support each other unconditionally and be that encouragement and that listening ear that your partner needs if you want to have a successful mature dating relationship.

Best friends usually tell each other the truth and many times in our relationships, we lack that honesty; but if you want to have that mature dating relationship, you really need to bring that honesty and truth telling back into the mix and you will have that mature dating success.
