“I'm not looking for a man who will save me. I don't need saving. But I do long for a man who is chivalrous. I would like to meet a man who will bring out the best in me and encourage me and support me in my endeavors. I have always been romantic, but I've never lived in a fantasy world. I've always lived in reality and want to man who lives there, too. I know the difference between fantasy and reality.”

“Nora agrees. "I mean, is Prince Charming really the kind of man who seems like he knows how to have great sex? Because he doesn't seem like that to me."
