3 Fictional Characters That Set Our Standards For Love

In This Article:

You would be lying if you did not form some kind of crush or interest on a fictional character in either a film or a book. Whether it is a Netflix romcom or series of books, we all have wished we had someone like the character we liked in the type of medium being used.

It is understandable to want bonds like the ones shown to us and even though it is fictional, it is okay that our expectations are high. It is not fair to us to settle for something, we all deserve the treatment people get in the movies.

Here are three fictional characters that really set our high standards for love, and who make it seemingly impossible for the average guy to impress nowadays.

Edward Cullen from Twilight

"No measure of time with you, would be long enough. But we'll start with forever."

Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy

From @patrickdempsey

Simon Basset from Bridgerton

From @regejean

An enemies to lovers story, a rather relatable one at best. A gentleman with a dark side, who doesn't crave a little mystery in our love lives?

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
