Peter Pan and Wendy Darling || Lost Boy
As a single young woman, I was constantly searching for a man who was both romantic and responsible. Unlike Peter Pan, the imaginary friend of my childhood, who was unromantic and irresponsible, I believed I would find the man who had the right combination of love and dependability.
The two boyfriends I had in my early twenties were both romantic, yet irresponsible.
The two men I fell in love with were responsible, but unromantic.
The two friends I wanted to date wrote back, "I want to be just friends," even though each one was both responsible and of a romantic tendency.
And finally, I found two guys who loved spending time with me and had the best combination of both love and dependability.
The first friend told me, "I love you as a friend and a sister."
The other friend asked, "Will you marry me?" And I did. No more Peter Pans for me.
