Look at it this way.... It's like boys watching shoot 'em up movies or something.... They see the guns. They see the people "killing" each other. They may go out into the yard and pretend to do this with fake guns.

It does NOT mean by ANY stretch that they are going to buy guns and kill people when they get older.

It seems that we've suddenly lost all faith in our children to understand the difference between make-believe and reality.

Somehow I watched or played with GI Joes and played video games in which the object was to shoot at things without becoming a gun-toting sociopath. I'd imagine little girls can play with princess toys and pretend to be a princess without becoming an adult female who sits around waiting for Prince Charming.....

KelsieB, I understand where you're coming from; but movies and fairytales and knights in shining armor are make-believe, and no relationship, regardless of how wonderful, ends up like a fairytale. Yes, in the beginning there are the butterflies and he's so perfect and you can't stop smiling and so on and so forth...hopefully, there will still be moments like that as time passes on, but with time comes reality, and you eventually have to come back to earth! Maybe he's not perfect, maybe it doesn't end up like, oh I don't know, 13 Going On 30, or some other happily-ever-after piece of fluff. Will you be utterly disappointed when Mr. Perfect (or Mr. Perfect-For-Right-Now) ends up being very...not like in the movies?

All that fairy-princess fluff is fine for a bit of entertainment, but it's not like real life. If you still want "the crush the chase the subtle flirting the sex the FUN" then maybe try an online dating service? It's not the stuff that dreams are made of, but it could possibly be effective.
