Let me get right to the point, I have kissed a lot of frogs since I began my dating journey and I have yet to find that “Prince” we have all been promised since that tender age of innocence. But what I have found is Mr. Friendzone, Mr. Tool, The Fuckboy, The Narcissist, The Sociopath and Stage 5 Clinger (oh yea that one is a doozy) and the occasional nice guy that just wasn’t my type. I was just about to give up completely UNTIL now..the answer is rather simple..STOP KISSING FROGS THINKING YOU ARE GONNA GET A PRINCE. This isn’t Disney’s Princess and the Frog and girlfriend neither you or I are Tiana.

While I was out looking for this fairytale prince, imagine all the regular Joes I might have overlooked? Now I’m not telling you to lower your expectations, or change anything for that matter, I’m just telling you to stop looking for the “end game.” We all want to find the love of our lives and live happily ever after, and let’s face it, it’s human nature to want it yesterday BUT pushing it never works out in anyone’s favor.

For me, all I have ever wanted was someone I can curl up with on a Friday night, watch a movie, have a beer and snuggle when the mood strikes me. Maybe they have kids of their own so that we can do those pesky kid things with together? Ultimately my “prince” is going to be my best friend, and maybe only a friend. It is unclear at this point what my future holds but ladies, I think I might be on to something and he is 6’3”, has kids and can take my sarcasm. Stay tuned…frogs and princess are so yesterday.

Cheers!
