The Great Modern Mr. Darcy

From Noah Calhoun (The Notebook) to Sir Lancelot (The Lady of Shalott); from Rhett Butler (Gone with the Wind) to Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights); from Shakespeare's Macbeth to John Keats, one of the greatest love poets in history.

In the world of literature, countless are the number of gentlemanly figures who, until today, still have an intoxicating, bewitching effect on women all over the world; women who love immersing themselves in art.

But when it comes to Mr. Darcy (Pride & Prejudice), his charming ways are in a league of their own. Jane Austen created a protagonist so perfectly alluring that centuries later millions are still falling head over heels for this fictional character.

In today's context, the great modern Mr. Darcy overwhelms you constantly with an unconditional love so ardent, you'd feel the need to question what you've done in life before to deserve it. Hands down, he's the most extraordinary gentleman around.

He gives you a priceless sense of security and makes you absolutely comfortable in your own skin. Whatever aspects of your personality you were too embarrassed to show others before, he embraces adoringly. He takes great effort to understand you in your entirety and expresses deep appreciation for the great things about you that no one else really noticed before. You become radiantly exceptional as an individual.

He remembers. Everything. Every word you've ever exchanged. Every memory you've created together. Every story in your history that you've shared. There's a label of significance painted on your being when someone like him takes such great interest.

No one you know can match his status as the epitome of trustworthiness and reliability. He's emotionally and financially stable. And he's a fantastic listener.

Mr. Darcy is also extremely street smart. He either has the answers to everything or has the resources to get them. When you're in a pickle about something or lack knowledge, he'll quietly do the research to ensure you know everything before making a decision. He's that sweet. As sweet as a gorgeous pumpkin.

His skin is flawlessly beautiful. Through his kind eyes, you can vividly see a soul full of humility, compassion, generosity and grace.

He is gentle by nature but has a loud and larry sense of humour. Amiable manners that entrances witnesses, together with intelligence, maturity and diligence, makes him one of a kind. And he works hard to get to places and never takes others for granted.

He has a way with you, giving you faith to find your dreams and inspiring you through his various passions. He gets you to firmly believe in everything that you could be (but were too scared to even dream of being before) and the things that you can accomplish (but were too afraid to reach for before).

He's got a way with words. He gets you smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure how much his love is worth. It's in the way he wants you, in the way he holds you, in the way he shows you just what love is made of.

With an enthralling connection that you've never felt before, common interests that makes no space for awkward silences, a love that makes you feel more important than the rest of the world, and a true promise of commitment and fidelity, you can't help but see a beautiful future ahead of you.

There's a delightful, precious beauty in being dangerously in love.
