This clip is from one of my favorite episodes called "Daphne Returns", and it really challenges my perspective on love. Our society idolizes the knight in shining armor who wins his lady's heart. I am equally guilty of always being inspired by this idea. I found courage in the hopeless romantic who after a period of time expresses their true feelings to their desired love.
In the series one of the main characters called Niles has a crush on his brother's home care worker named Daphne, and does not express his feelings for seven years. After many trials, Daphne and Niles are finally together.
In this clip, Frasier (Niles's brother) analyzes his brother's relationship with Daphne, and he comes to the conclusion that both Daphne and Niles are terrified of revealing who they both truly are. And Niles realizes that his love for Daphne has only been from a distance, and he truly does not know her. But now he has the chance to experience Daphne in a real relationship, and he needs to take this chance.
I think this sends a great message about love; in order to truly love someone you need to get to know them, and see them both at their worst and best. In the long run, if after infatuation you find that you do not share anything in common, you move forward and hope for the best.
