I dated a string of guys who were not good for me. Then I decided to stop dating for a while and wait for someone really, really great. Here’s what I learned:
Wait for the guy who will run slowly with you even though he can run much faster without you.
Wait for the guy who will offer to help you move before you even start looking for a place.
Wait for the guy who will become text buddies with your mom so he can make sure to find you exactly the right Christmas present.
Wait for the guy who can’t wait to introduce you to all his friends and family, and when he does, it’s obvious they’ve already heard all about you.
Wait for the guy who will make you grilled cheese sandwiches and take the burned ones for himself.
Wait for the guy who will suffer through an entire season of watching The Bachelor just so he can spend Monday nights with you.
Wait for the guy who is always either right by your side or cheering you on as you try new things and tackle your goals.
Wait for his 25th birthday and write a blog post about how awesome he is…
Wait for him to read it and get all embarrassed…
And then let him know that he was worth waiting for.
I’m wishing a huge, super-fantastic HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! to this guy.
He makes my days bright.
