You just answered your own concerns. Girls do know the differences between fantasy novels/films and their own real destinies. But like you, they still want to fantasize and revel in romances. When reality bites (pun intended), girls will negotiate their future relationships with boys as they/we always have–with great difficulty–but not necessarily because the media made us do it.
