What to know before dating a girl who loves Disney
1. We will absolutely try to persuade you that Mickey Mouse décor is something we will need in our potential future home. Yes, yes, we know it's too soon for all that. But supposing we did live together one day and supposing we bought this Mickey-shaped soap dispenser today to prepare for such an event? HMM?
2. 'Magical' is our favourite adjective Sometimes we will say that our date last night was "magical, really." It means 'good', but also so much more.
3. If you ask why Shrek doesn't do meet 'n' greets in Disneyland Paris, we will judge you severely. "A boyfriend who knows his Disney from his Dreamworks is a boyfriend who will go far" – ancient proverb.
4. Post-movie analyses are par for the course. I mean, why do you think Mother Gothel WAS the way she was? Do you think she cared about Rapunzel, at least a bit? What do you think Mother Gothel's own mother was like? Do you think her name was Grandmother Gothel? Hello?!
5. We spot Hidden Mickeys everywhere we go. And if you feel like joining in, we'll love you forever. It will make even our walk to buy milk, magical. You're welcome.
6. We will relate your behaviours, appearance and personality traits to Disney characters. We've thought about it long and hard, and we believe you have shades of Thumper, Elsa and possibly Donald Duck. You also have a look of Flynn Rider about you, which quite frankly is going down a storm.
7. Anything that can be Disney should be Disney. This is including but not limited to: air fresheners, cereal, socks, shower gel, pens, lip balm, pyjamas, tissues and key rings.
8. Sometimes we will just need to watch Disney-related YouTube videos and ugly-cry with you. The closest thing to being back in the magic is bawling loudly over someone else being back in the magic.
9. We plan our year around Disney movie release dates. Beauty and the Beast has been in the diary since we heard Emma Watson was playing Belle.
10. If someone says Disney is "just for kids" we will expect your full support as we hastily correct them. They are usually people who haven't ever experienced the magic of a Disney Park and like to see 'adults doing adult things' such as wearing only grey and never smiling.
11. We may never be truly content with a holiday that doesn't involve a stop-off in a Disney Park. Don't get us wrong – we love exploring new places. But if those places just so happen to be within an hour's drive of a Disney Resort then that would be ace.
