Why Walt Disney ruined my life

Dear Walt Disney,

I'd like to complain about the unrealistic expectations you placed upon my love life. From the moment of conception, I was told by you that one day my prince would take me and whisk me away on a white horse, where we would live happily ever after. This statement has proved to be false.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe in the whole true love thing you told us about - however, I have some edits for future generations.

1) As with most things in life they are based on timing. It's not only the person that comes into your life, but the timing of their arrival. This whole Cinderealla needing to be home by midnight was pretty true. You need to time things just right when it comes to dating. If someone is just coming out of a relationship, or adjusting things in their personal life - I will guarantee you, no matter what you do ... you won't have a shot.
Give them some time. I know, you want to be optimistic and say, but come on! When are we not adjusting things in our personal life .. etc ... I guarantee you, if she's not in the right headspace, it's just not going to happen. Timing ... timing ... TIMING!

2) Romance is merely an illusion and needs to be presented accordingly. There is no magic carpet ride ...

3) Sharing a string of spaghetti has never happened to me. Ever. Cute idea, chances of it happening? Pretty small. And when has a guy ever given you his last meatball? Seriously ... I know what he wants you to do with other balls, but that's a horse of a different color.

4) Falling in love is much more like taking a bite out of the bad apple than anything else you've presented. You're placed into this spell where you fall fast asleep from everything you knew as being "normal" - only to be awoken by seven dwarfs who represent each mood of the guy you fell in love with. Suddenly, he's not bashful and happy, but more grumpy and dopey.

5) Beauty and the Beast is a great concept. However, if a guy is dating a girl that is too "out of his league" he needs to be unbelievably secure with himself. Clearly she loves whatever she sees in him, but if he can't get past all the guys that look at her, it's never going to happen. Great concept, but finding a secure guy?! Mission impossible ...

Don't get me wrong, I've fallen in love at first sight once - and have been fortunate enough to have fallen in love three times in my 25 years. I get love. It's the the most unexplainable variable we have in life. Love makes you crazy! But if the person isn't enough to make you go crazy for, then it's not love. I'm not some cold heartless human being, but I sure as hell would have had a lot less heartbreak if I had been presented with realistic expectations from the beginning.

Appreciate the effort Walt, but please - I think it's time for some rewrites.
