The Perfect Guy
A lot of my single friends know exactly what they want in a partner. They have a list of criteria for someone to live up to. I’ve never had one. I’ve never been able to articulate what my “perfect guy” looks like. But, I think I’m starting to get a pretty good idea.
When I think about the person I want to confide in, curl up next to or come home to, here’s some things he does:
- He’s honest & direct to a fault
- He’s funny & silly & is always up for riding all the rides at Disney no matter how old he gets
- He likes kids & is open to the idea of maybe one day having them (or not)
- He’s okay on his own – he has his own passions & doesn’t need a 24/7 babysitter
- He LOVES to travel, especially to places he’s never been
- He makes a good work out partner
- He never tires of giving me back rubs
- He thinks I’m pretty even with no makeup. In sweats
- He takes the time to figure out my favorite flowers & sends them “just because it’s Tuesday”
- He wants to know all of me – including the skeletons of my past
- He knows that even though I’ll never admit it, I’m a cheesy romantic at heart
- He knows how much I love the night stars & so he names one after me
- He’s a guy that I’m not afraid to tell any secrets to, including my love of cheesy ABC Family made-for-TV movies and this blog
- He’s strong enough to take care of me
- Most importantly, he fights for me; he makes a grand gesture
Yes, this list is WAY longer than I ever imagined. But, it’s what I want and I’m finally not afraid to say so.
[…] Ever since I discovered Santa Runs, I’ve always wanted to be a part of one. I mean, how can you not have fun when hundreds of people around you are all running together in Santa outfits! On December 9, it finally worked out and I took part in my first Santa Run! With a Santa suit race shirt and hat, I excitedly dressed the part for a four mile run through Sharon Woods Park. Forty-seven minutes and 30 seconds later, I have one more moment (and race) under my belt… here’s to my next Santa Run being with The Perfect Running Partner […]
