A plot twist

So … say our heroine had three suitors. And had to choose one of them without having enough information about all of them to feel truly good about her decision.

Perhaps the best metaphor here is that our princess goddess has some wedding proposals to consider and, yet, she hasn’t slept with any of them. (Suspension of disbelief is integral to this exercise!)

Put yourself in her glass slippers for a moment…

Do you pick the nice guy who lives really far away … the guy who reminds you of someone else (both good and bad) who is at least within driving distance … or wait till the awesome guy can afford a ring (and assume he won’t propose without one and you’ll be waiting till the end of time)?

If this were fiction and money weren’t an issue, I’d wait for the prince behind Door No. 3. But money is an issue and one prince is on bended knee and I need to figure out whether the faraway prince can get to that point, um, today.

Either way, I will stay in touch with the third prince … maybe a second marriage is in store. Or, at least, an affair. 😉

Of course, this is what worries me. I have had enough damn divorces. I want to have kids with the next one. (Oh wait, I hate kids. Let me rephrase that.) I want a happily ever after the next time around.

So which of the first two princes can provide me that? And can the first one remain on bended knee till the carrier pigeon gets to the other one, or will I be in danger of becoming a spinster if they all move on without me?
