Yes, there is such a thing as a true man of our dreams. He will remain true so long as you leave him there; in your dreams. To ask for anything more is to invite trouble. There is no such thing as a perfect man. In your dreams you can live out whatever fantasy you choose. Your dream man can be strong, handsome, silent,and considerate. He can be good with his hands and brainy. You do not have to settle for anything less than what you want. He can have a great body, perfect teeth and a head full of hair, or he can be bald and virile. Its your dream. He's your man.
If you should ever meet your Prince Charming in real life, you will most likely be disappointed. Reality isn't true to fantasy. Simply because men and women have different styles of communicating usually negates that "man of my dreams" syndrome. Dreams have a way of becoming nightmares sometimes. If you should meet a man that suits you, take time to really get to know him. Leave the dream man in your dreams and just love the flesh and blood man as he is without your rose-colored glasses.
