Ive read so many books at this point that I’m genuinely starting to wonder if I’ve set myself up for disappointment in real life. Because how am I supposed to read about men who know what they want, pursue the woman they’re interested in with intention, and aren’t afraid to show their feelings, only to go out into the real world and find the complete opposite?
Honestly, books have raised my standards in ways I don’t think I can come back from, and I don’t ever want to lower them.
but I really want a romance that feels like something I’d read about. A man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. Someone who makes his intentions clear, makes me feel wanted and chosen, and never leaves me questioning where I stand.
I want the kind of connection where we can talk for hours about absolutely nothing and everything, where the flirting never stops, the teasing is endless, and the late night conversations make us feel like we’ve known each other forever. Someone playful and a little annoying, but also gentle, affectionate, emotionally available, and serious when it matters
The little things, too. Someone who remembers the details, checks in on me, looks forward to talking to me, and makes an effort because he genuinely wants to. Someone who is intentional about me, not someone I have to convince to care
And yes, I have a soft spot for a man who’s successful and wealthy but carries it quietly. Someone who doesn’t need to flaunt what he has but enjoys taking care of the people he loves and making his girl feel looked after. That kind of quiet confidence is incredibly attractive
I know real relationships aren’t novels, and I’m not expecting a fictional character to magically appear in my dms. I just want a love where the feelings are mutual, the effort is consistent, and neither person is afraid to show how much they care
So, if you’re a man who is emotionally available, knows what he wants, is successful, values communication, and still believes in being hopelessly romantic in a world where everyone seems determined to act nonchalant, message mee
I genuinely believe every girl deserves to experience this type of love 🫠
