The Perfect Guy

Author’s Note- This piece is to explain what my ideal guy consists of. While reading this piece, pay attention to voice.

Not everyone has the same expectations while looking for that perfect someone. Some girls want a bad boy that breaks the rules, while some girls want a cute church boy. There is no such thing as the right type; everyone likes different things. I have certain standards that will make or break my relationship. So, pay attention and you just might be my future boyfriend.

In order to become my boyfriend, you have to be somewhat attractive. And by attractive, I don’t mean you need to be an Abercrombie model, although that’d be nice! I prefer abs and muscles, but if they are fit and play sports, I’m satisfied. They need to have good style and not just wear basketball shorts a t-shirt every day. I mean come on; girls have to dress up all the time! I like Hollister clothes, skinny jeans and vans or polo shoes. Also if they can work snapbacks, that’d be greatly appreciated. In other words, they need to have swag. I’m going to say this right off the bat… I don’t date short guys. I have that rule only because I’m 5”8 and that would look really awkward if I was with a guy that was per say, 5”2. Of course I want a guy with good looks, but that’s not the only thing I look for.

A player: exactly what I don’t want. I want a guy who is sweet and loving with me. I love when guys are somewhat protective with me too. When I say protective I don’t mean doesn’t let me talk to other guys at all and gets mad when I hang out with my friends a lot. That would be called over protective. I mean, gets jealous when another guy calls me pretty or when another guy tries to touch me and you automatically get defensive. Another thing that really wins me over is when guys want to show me off to their friends. I hate when I’m with them and their all “cutsie” with me, then one of their guy friends shows up and they act like they don’t even know me. Honestly, that gets me fired up! There’s one thing that could be a deal breaker for me, and that’s cuddling. I’m kind of obsessed with it. I just think it’s so cute and if a guy likes it too, I just want to marry him right then and there. I’m a sucker for long hugs and kisses too! I just wish every guy had all of these qualities and was perfect, but good relationships are all about compromise.

I’ve had some issues with over protective boyfriends in the past. Of course, I’m not naming names, but this guy was a real tool. He only thought about himself and never spared my feelings for a second. His best friend was my ex boyfriend. Yeah, I get that that can be kind of awkward, but he took this too far. He would get mad when I “stood to close to him.” Now that seems a little unreasonable. I’ve also been played before. The guy told me he liked me and only acted sweet to me sometimes. He always wanted me to break the rules and hang out with him. Later I found out he didn’t even like me, he just used me. Thank god I found out before we got too far into the relationship. I would’ve really be broken if I would’ve found out later. I’ve learned to not chase after boys and wait for them to come after you. Then, it means they really love and want to be with you. If you go after them, they give you least love and attention possible, most of the time. Not all relationships end up like this, these are just what has happened to me that I don’t want to happen again.

I’ve fallen in love a couple times already and they have been the best experiences. Both times I wound up heartbroken and sobbing to my friends. This time, it’ll be different though. I just need the perfect guy to treat me right and love me with all his heart. I know I ask for a lot, but I just want a boyfriend I really love. I want to love every piece of him and I just want him to be perfect. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to have all these qualities, but if you consist of most of them, then you might be my next boyfriend.
