The Prologue

Every girl grows up with the story of Cinderella. How he so romantically searches the globe for his one true love and reunites over dramatic footwear and an even more dramatic kiss that ends with a lavish wedding and riding off into the sunset. 

Really, it actually explains a lot about women, especially our obsession with shoes.

It also encapsulates everything that is wrong with women dating in the 21st Century.

We have this idea that the perfect man is sitting on a horse, pining away for his perfect girl who then moves heaven and earth to find her... sounds amazing, right? 


Here is the problem.
Prince Charming tends to be a 20-something, in his cousin's run down Honda Civic who's only interest is hooking up with one of the 30 girls he swiped right on Tinder last night, and is stuck in traffic while trying to figure out how to pay for only one drink tonight but still get the girl.
The Princess isn't always a peach either.
I know my Glass Slipper is not the most comfortable thing to wear for long periods of time, especially since I live in LA.
And Prince Charming is Stuck in Traffic.
Its actually becoming a running joke between myself and my friends. If you stick around with me on my journey you'll find out why.
But who am I? Well I am a 27 year old Single White Female in LA trying to navigate the dating pools of living in a large urban area while still sticking to that idea of a "Happily Ever After" and more.
This isn't going to be some bashing on happiness and fairytales, in fact quite the opposite. You see I work at the "Happiest Place on Earth" and am surround by happily ever afters every day both on and off the page.
Because they tell you go with that you know that is how I will frame my quest for the ending of my story.
WITH PRINCESSES!!!
Each week I will look at a famous Princess or Leading Lady and her HEA (because I am already getting tired of writing it) and analyze my attempts in the modern day. Some may work, some may not, but all will be told here so that I can use the Internet as my therapy and decompress from my horrors dates.
So now that the Prologue is finished lets head to Chapter 1!!
