I blame the movie industry for inculcating in us girls the constant need for romance. All these lovey dovey movies always show how easily it is for the guy to say the right things and do the right stuff. BUT in reality this is never the truth. AND because we always see it in the movies, we will start longing for our own boyfriends to produce the same results.

In movies: guys will give in to a girls every whim.
In reality: no such thing!

In movies: guys always saying what a girl wants to hear the most.
In reality: no such thing!

In movies: the whole damsel in distress and knight in shining armor thing
In reality: no such thing!

SO many examples, I guess what I'm trying to express is that overall don't expect what you see in the movies to apply to your own relationship because life is never so simple. We don't just fall in love and expect to live off that because no matter how romantic or how great your love may be, it can never fill an empty stomach.
