“A Lover in a Dream”

“All she wanted was to be a little girl, to be efficiently taken care of by some yielding yet superior power, stupider and steadier than herself. It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream”
― F. Scott FitzgeraldThe Beautiful and Damned

Well here’s to another Wednesday! The weather is still holding out here but it looks like it’s gonna start storming- like it has been for the last 3 days. Regardless, I’m going to make the most of today.

I’ve been reading The Beautiful and Damned, and I absolutely love it. It’s probably my favorite book by Fitzgerald that I’ve read thus far. As my life goes on and I’ve got to known and dated guys, I keep thinking that my perfect guy doesn’t actually exist anywhere but in my head. Let’s go over my criteria:

  1. Taller than me (not hard).
  2. Smart and educated
  3. Doesn’t smoke
  4. Likes animals and wants to have pets.
  5. Doesn’t drink too much and doesn’t have to drink to have a good time.
  6. Is responsible with money (and having a lot of it isn’t bad either) and have a steady job.
  7. Respects and loves me
  8. Wants 2 kids. Just 2.
  9. Wants to spend time with me.
  10. Likes to travel.
  11. Encourages me to follow my dreams
  12. Believes in God.
  13. Hardworking

Bonus points if he has blue eyes as well as either a truck, sports car or motorcycle.

I have more criteria that I can’t remember at this moment. When I find the list I’ll determine if those items are still relevant because obviously if I can’t remember them right now they probably aren’t too important. If they are, I’ll update this list.

But I hope that that guy is out there. And I hope he’s looking for me. Because I’d hate to settle. That’s not fair to me, and that’s not fair to the guy I’m with if I can’t love him with my full heart.
