Does “book love” exist
I’m 18F and I’ve mostly been reading romance books since I was like 13 and it always makes me wonder if I’ll have my great exciting love story do people even have these ???
I mean I have never been in love havent even had a crush since like 4th grade (kid crushes r so cute omg) cuz obviously boys r jerks but for some reason everyone around me doesn’t seem to have a problem being in a relationship or dating but I do notttt want that like the bar is too low and it feels so superficial and routine(?)
I don’t even mean like the crazy big gestures or wtv I just want someone that can look at me while I’m candid and not posing and still want me someone that memorizes my expressions without realizing, feels calmer when I’m around, wants to tell me every tiny detail first , notices when my mood shifts b4 I say anything, misses my presence in ordinary moments 😭😭 like will I ever feel seen chosen and wanted ??? Does this even exist or is this type of love just in books and movies or are my standards too high to actually recognize real normal love???
This is getting longer than i planned for it to be but omg i could talk about this all day but it’ll just upset me also this is my first time commenting on Reddit so I’m sorry if this is too long or if smth is wrong w the format 😬😬😬 but id love to know if anyone has experienced that exhilarating exciting great love feeling .
