Julia Roberts reminds us with every replay of Pretty Woman that if we hold out for the fairytale our prince charming will come! Does he really exist outside of the movies? The answer; Yes! Just remember that you may have to kiss more than one toad to find Him!

A real man never hurts a woman intentionally! He does not gain value from seeing or causing your heart hurt. He is strong in himself and is careful with his decisions and actions, never wanting to cause heartache or pain. He will dry your tears and not cause them. He will not bring you down so he can appear a hero who brings you up. He will fight not with you but beside you and for you.

A real man honors his commitments to you and doesn't give false promises; his actions speak louder than empty words. He considers "us" and not "me". He gains happiness in making you happy.

A real man gives gifts that money can't buy; he gives his time, attention, loyalty and effort.

A real man will pull out chairs, open doors, and carry things not because you can't but because he values, cherishes, and respects you.

Your prince will admit he wants you, feel proud to be with you, and love you unconditionally inside out. He will make you his everything, in front of everyone, every time. He will ask for nothing of you in return except love.

Be wise enough to wait for what you desire and deserve which may require first being strong enough to let go. Remember that new beginnings are often disguised as painful endings; so kiss the toads good-bye, make a wish and he will come!

The End!
