Wanted: Prince Charming

Because I am a princess, I like many other princesses are waiting for my "Prince charming" to come into my life and sweep me off my feet with some grand gesture of love and awesomeness. But the term "Prince Charming" is so relative, what makes up a Prince Charming anyway? Is it that dreamy mixture of class, charm, and humor that is so hard to find in this world? Is it the daring prospect that he might not even be real, making the search for him an adventure and challenge? Even if my personal Prince in theory is real, what will he be like, and how will I know it's him when we meet? Will it be love at first sight (like Romeo and Juliet), or hate at first sight (Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy)?

I don't know the answers to these questions, and its really impossible to know their answers unless I have some sort of magic crystal ball. But sometimes it seems the idea of a "perfect" Prince is a little unfair anyway. Because NO ONE is perfect, I mean even my BIGGEST crushes have huge flaws that come with their amazingness. For example:

Peter Pevensie- High King of Narnia

From: Narnia
Pros: He is loyal, strong, Nobel, honorable, and purely loving.
Cons: He has a knack for making rash decisions, particularly in battle (which gets people killed) and stubbornness that causes him to fight with others.


Mick St. John- Vampire and Private Investigator

From: L.A.
Pros: His charm, humour, and great hair. Also can play the guitar and is a a great friend to Josef.
Cons: His vampire thing means that he always needs blood, that he will stay young as I grow old, and he has a bit of a temper when provoked. He also has a CRAZY ex-wife and clingy girlfriend.

John Smith- English Captain and Explorer


From: England

Pros: One of the most handsome Disney guys ever. Has a great smile, adventurous spirit, charm, and charisma. He is also very loyal to the other men in his crew and is able to give himself to love fully.
Cons: He didn't fight for Pocahontas! It still pisses me off to this day! Disney just put in a new guy randomly who was not NEARLY as cute as him and- ROAR...whatever...

The Doctor- Timelord

From: Gallifrey

Pros: Coolest Person to ever live...EVER...'nuff said. (Wow I'm a nerd)
Cons: Two hearts, travels through time, has LOTS of girlfriends


  • SO it's safe to say even the dreamy awesome people are flawed

  1. When you meet your Prince Charming, you'll know. Maybe not right away, but you'll know eventually. Just hopefully eventually will be before it's too late.

    And if you don't meet your Prince Charming, I'm sure you'll meet someone who's pretty close. And if you meet him, you'll realize it sooner or later.

    And if you THINK it's Prince Charming, be careful. If he's not, don't let him break your heart.
