Am I the Last Surviving Romantic?

No, seriously. I believe In love so strongly that If someone else doubts It for a second I make it my personal mission to make them feel and believe in it again. The idea that two people can find each other and fall deeply in love and be completely happy together for the rest of their lives is a fast fading notion. The idea’s of love from people I know range anywhere from: Someday my prince will come to marriages should be arranged.
But this while idea of the perfect couple is a myth isn’t without cause. Any piece of media that depicts a “fairy tale” romance is pegged as childish or for women (usually single naive/in denial young women). Like the Romantic Comedy is commonly called the “chick-flick” and romance novels are pegged ad not true literature. The worst thing of all is when people become genuinely surprised when couples have been together for double digits.
How can something so fundamental as love have become a faultless game of hit and miss that is just a game? I don’t get it-I just don’t get it.
