3 Fictional Characters That Set Our Standards For Love

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

@vanityfair

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

Need I say more?

Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy

From @patrickdempsey

A house made out of candles and a marriage proposal through x-rays in an elevator, how can it get much better than that?

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?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
