“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 Fitzgerald, The 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:
- Taller than me (not hard).
- Smart and educated
- Doesn’t smoke
- Likes animals and wants to have pets.
- Doesn’t drink too much and doesn’t have to drink to have a good time.
- Is responsible with money (and having a lot of it isn’t bad either) and have a steady job.
- Respects and loves me
- Wants 2 kids. Just 2.
- Wants to spend time with me.
- Likes to travel.
- Encourages me to follow my dreams
- Believes in God.
- 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.
