Ted Mosby Expectations

Many dating advice books, websites, columns, etc say that the main reason why some people struggle with dating is because of "unrealistic expectations" or as I like to call them "Ted Mosby Expectations". Ted Mosby is the name of one of the main characters on the long running successful sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother". He thinks most of the women he likes and dates are "the one" he will marry and have his children which is not the right mindset to have. It's hard to find the right person especially when you're a "nice guy" like him. Hence his expectations are unrealistic although I gotta say he is very persistent and many guys can relate to his experiences and "unrealistic expectations"

Dude you have "Ted Mosby Expectations" when it comes to dating; they are too high and unrealistic!

Sexpectations

The time your Mrs offers you the best sex to not go out on a Sunday with the lads by offering you things sexually your Mum would die to hear.

As in "Pwease don't go pub today, I'll do rude things to you your Mum wouldn't love to hear" "wow, those are some big sexpectations"

tempestation

The temptation to make mountains out of molehills, or hurricanes out of drizzle. To blow something out of proportion.

It's easy to succumb to tempestation but one must look at things with the proper perspective.

Unrealistic expectations

Expecting somebody to find and do something impossible.

The teenager commited suicide due to unmet unrealistic exectations by someone in his family. Unrealistic expectations are the kind where somebody is really never going to be good enough, even if they did something impossible, then they went on and did a thousand more impossible things.
