Romantic Bedtime Stories for Boyfriend

Most people don’t give a second thought to why romantic bedtime stories with a boyfriend have such a profound effect on their souls. They get caught up in the romance and they don’t really care that they’ve suddenly turned into love-sick puppies.

Think back on all the romance novels you’ve read or all the romantic movies you’ve watched and you’ll find they all have certain elements in common.

Opposites Attract

Whether they’ve just been introduced or they’ve known each other all their lives the leads in the romance story are generally distinctly opposite personality types. He’s a cowboy and she’s a city girl. She’s the owner of a Fortune 500 company and he runs a hot dog stand on the corner. He loves dogs, she’s a cat person.

In the case of some of the classics, we have Romeo and Juliet who come from warring families and we have Tony and Maria, from opposing gangs.

There’s Always A Conflict

This brings us to the next common ingredient – conflict. All good stories about love have some kind of conflict. There’s something that keeps the lovers apart. Richard Gere’s character in Pretty Woman had an aversion to commitment. In ‘Ghost’ they were separated by death.

In order for a love story to be truly romantic, there has to be some seemingly insurmountable obstacle standing in the path of true love.

A Little Bit Of Fairy Dust

If you think about it, which most people never do, there’s no way a romance novel could ever become reality. Just put yourself in the place of one of the characters and imagine yourself being attracted to the other.

Would you, as the owner of a multi-billion dollar corporation seriously hire a gum-cracking hooker, buy her a complete wardrobe and shower her with jewels, just so you could look like you’re in a relationship? Of course not. And you’d certainly never get close enough to her to ask her to marry you.

But one of the key ingredients that all stories of love have in common is a little bit of fairy dust that makes each person blind to the flaws of the other. That same fairy dust makes it possible for you to kiss a ghost or make it to the top of the Empire State Building just in the nick of time.

It’s the combination of all three ingredients that make a romantic bedtime story with a boyfriend so memorable. In real life, we always have conflict, and sometimes that insurmountable obstacle just can’t be overcome.

But every now and then, we all get a little sprinkling of fairy dust. Just enough to keep us believing in fairy tales.
