A question for Prince Charming...

I'm a cynical and practical romantic, and I'm about to over analyze a fairy tale.

This past week I have been turning Walt Disney's Cinderella on to fall asleep to, and it seems that my pre REM subconscious has a questions for Prince Charming. The prince claims he will only marry the girl he danced with, but why doesn't he himself go out and look for her? If he is so in love shouldn't he feel driven to search her out?

Sure some blame could fall on Major Domo's shoulders. He's the one that found the glass slipper that belongs to the girl that the prince danced with, but it seems he never told the prince about it. Instead he goes to the king, who sends Major Domo out to find any old girl whose foot will fit in the glass slipper. The King is so desperate for grandkids he's willing to manipulate his son's words in order to get him hitched. But seriously, the Prince isn't blind ... he would be able to recognize the girl he danced with! He should have eliminated the middle man and gone out and searched himself!
