I am a dedicated Harry Potter fan, in fact, I'll admit I'm slightly obsessed. I love everything about HP, the message it sends, the complex characters, the adventures, and of course the boys. Who wouldn't want the ever so moody, serious, and troubled boy that is Harry Potter? Not to mention there's Ron, Neville, Draco (if you're into bad boys), and a myriad of others.
Now, as someone who is an avid daydreamer and never had a boyfriend (or more pathetically, a kiss) you may start to see the problem. However troubled and sometimes self-absorbed Harry can be, he's still pretty damn close to perfect. How could a real boy measure up?
This isn't the only fictional character I've fallen in love with, there's Dexter from This Lullaby, Eric from House of Night, Zack from Bones, and Piz from Veronica Mars. Yes, I realize the last two were television shows, but you get the point.
I've found my dream guy(s), so instead of going out on actual dates and meeting new guys I stayed at home with my fictional boyfriends. Now as a high school graduate I don't know how to talk to boys or go on dates so I still hide behind my books, but I'm going to try and learn all of the things I should have learned in high school now. This blog will be a log of my journey as I venture into the unknown world of boys, and maybe it'll help guide someone else along the way.
