Generation Gap?

Have you ever sat down with your mom or grandma and heard the story of when and how they fell in love? For the most part it all seems fairytale-ish and that it just happens and you cant control it and blah blah blah blah! What I don't understand is where have all these men that they have told me about gone? .... I hate to say it but I think that there's a generation gap. A huge gigantic gap between our grandfathers and dad's and the ocean of guys we have to fish from to find our one "true love". 
Actually listening to these stories about how the women who came before me on my family tree found their other half makes me realize how behind I am in life! My great grandma went to elementary through high school with my great grandfather and she said she always knew she was gonna marry him. The same goes for my grandma..her and my grandfather were raised in the same church and they were dating by middle school and married by 18....then there was my mother.... she at one point, back in high school, was one of those girls who was always asking herself "why am I not good enough for him?" but she then went off to be a cheerleader at a community college at the age of 18. By the age 19 she had met my dad who was the starting catcher for the colleges baseball team. By 20 they were engaged, and right after my mom's 21st and right before my dad's 21st they had tied the knot! My sister came by age of 23 and TA-DA!!! I was here by age 25 in the year 1991!! 
If you did your math right and you want to do a little comparison to my mom's time line... I should be finding a 3.5 carat (pear or trillion cut on a platinum setting) rock on my left hand somewhere in the next 4 months! you see where Im going with this? I could probably count on one hand how many girls my age I know that are engaged or married right now. and its not because us girls are afraid of commitment or don't want to be in a serious relationship....no it's actually the opposite... the men are the ones who are afraid, they are the one's who don't want to commit. Where are the guys who still know how to pick up the phone and call a girl to ask them on a date? Where are the guys who have enough respect for us women to put aside their thoughts of hopping in bed at the first chance and instead settle for a kiss at the end of the night with the promise of talking again the next day? Are we as women asking too much? are we expecting the impossible? or are guys just that indecisive? They say women can't make up their minds on what we want.... B.S! we know exactly what we want.... I know exactly what I want! that's why its not me... its you!
