When you're with a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, it's starts off wonderfully, as if you're living in a romantic Zooey Deschanel romantic comedy:
"Everything seemed so perfect at first. She was cute, but lots of quirky and awkward…on our first date, she said she wanted pancakes for dinner. So adorable. We danced in the rain to the music in our hearts…I felt alive!"
"But then after a few months, I started to realize she was eating pancakes for every meal. She can't feed herself. She can't pay bills. She just marvels at the wonders of every moment. Every moment! We got married in a fuckin' bouncy castle!"
I've dated a Manic Pixie Dream Girl or two and had a disastrous non-date with one last year. While fun, they're not very good long-term prospects. Not if you want to stay sane, anyway.
