modern day prince charming?

I'm just getting over the swine flu, and even though it has been one of, if not THE, worst experience of my life, being sick and unattached from any sort of social scene or reality for almost 5 days really puts things into perspective. Sometimes we get so crowded in our heads that we forget that things are a lot simpler than we've built them up to be. It's okay to move on...it's ok to drop this dude right where i have him, if i have him...and be fine. I just wish that serendipidous things happened like in movies...but unfortunately no one drops a stack of papers on the street and a gorgeous male modelesque man runs to pick them up with a witty line that happens to be from your favorite book. there are many reasons that this does not happen. One: male models do not exist in real life, they are manufactured on an assembly line. Two: if you drop a large quantity of anything, or if you just trip, you're most likely to get stares or laughs. no one actually HELPS. Three: men don't read. So as you see, the odds are truly against us. Then how are we supposed to meet this true love that exists (hopefully) out there floating in the abyss? Where is this faceless blob and how do I get in contact with him? And so we go about our day to day, keeping an eye out for this mystery man who will sweep us off our feet and into our happily ever after. We have become so accustomed to this ideal vision of what "may" happen, that we forget to make our OWN destiny! But no, to march up to someone you've admired from afar and introduce yourself isn't okay because our society has said so. There has to be some kind of connection! Do I run around joining random clubs to gain that connection? do i take extra classes? i haven't figured it out yet, but until then, i desperately want to walk up to him, a basic stranger, and announce, "I want to KNOW you".
