    How A Walk To Remember Set Unrealistic Standards For My Future Relationships

    As a 9 year old A Walk to Remember made me fall in love for the first time, which is why I'm now 20 and single. Thanks, Nicholas Sparks, Shane West, and Mandy Moore.

    It turns out boys won't just laugh a little if you say this to them. They'll laugh in your face and probably use some excuse to head for the hills like "I have to go... um... wash my feet."

    You actually do care what people think about you, admit it.

    Saying this out loud makes your first kiss even worse. Also like mine where the guy said "which way are you tilting your head so we don't bump noses?" Um, IDK?

    Man tears never seem as romantic in real life as they do in the movies. They're actually quite the turn off.

    Boys are shallow, they'll never stand up for you while you're wearing a floral sweater.

    Seriously no one wears sweaters as ugly as Jamie's

    I've also learned that when guys do things like this it's not because they just want to be cute... it's because they WANT TO GET IN YOUR PANTS.

    Now, if any boy did this for you you'd be upset because it lacks originality. (And because he's probably still trying to get in your pants)

    You should be thanking God you found a boy like Landon, not angry at Him!

    You'd actually be scared of DYING if you had cancer.

    The answer is always yes, they're trying to seduce you. (If he looks like Shane West it's probably working)

    Boys don't actually confide in their moms. (But honestly, do you want them to? Awkward...)

    10.

    He'll also never ask his mom to teach him to dance. (They have this weakness... it's called pride)

    Unless your love interest is as in to religion as you are, you should probably leave The Big Man out of your relationship.

    Said no one ever to a teenage boy...

    If you really think boys will build you anything that does or does not come with instructions, you're wrong.

    Hopefully you'll never get proposed to wearing a night gown.... EVER.

    High School proposals aren't as romantic as they seem, they only lead to bad things. I.E. Teen pregnancy, teen divorce, etc.

    Your dad will also never marry his high school daughter, in his church, even if she has cancer. (Our dads are tough guys, who hate boys, remember?)

    P.S. What is this, 7th Heaven?

    Let's be clear: ladies, you are miracles, God's gifts... men... not so much.

    No guy, I repeat, NO GUY is this deep or romantic.

    And last, but not least... your love will never have a soundtrack as epic as this. It most likely won't have a soundtrack at all.

    So thanks Nicholas Sparks, but now that I've lived a little I'll just be sitting pretty, thinking this.

    This is my life now because of the unrealistic expectations you've provided me.
