To the next boy

This is a letter to the next boy I may fall in love with. Enjoy.

To the next boy,

I can’t wait to meet you. Now, I have to warn you, I may be a lot to handle sometimes so I hope you’re up for the challenge. There are a few things I want you to know before we meet.

1. I’m not perfect. I’m far from it to say the least.

I’m human. I make mistakes. I’m going to say things I don’t mean and wish I could take

them back. I’m going to get upset over the little things and you’re going to think I’m

crazy.

     2. I may be difficult sometimes.

I’m emotional. I cry a lot. My moods will range from incredibly happy to questioning

every decision I make. Once we meet, I’m sure the happiness will overpower the sadness. I am going to experience a few mental breakdowns but don’t feel like you have to do anything or buy things to cheer me up, just a hug will help.

     3. I’m extremely sarcastic.

It’s a bad habit I’ve had since I was a kid so there’s no point in fixing it now. Sarcasm is

practically my middle name. The sarcastic comments will come without warning so I

wanted to give you a heads up. I’m sorry if you take my sarcasm personally, it’s not

meant to upset you. But if you can’t deal with how sarcastic I can be then maybe you’re

not the guy for me.

    4. I’m hesitant to trust people.

I’ve been hurt countless times in the past. Broken trust and unkept promises are the

reason it’s so hard for me to open up. I’m afraid of getting hurt again. But if I had to

promise you one thing, it would be that I will not let my past relationships dictate my

outlook on future relationships. Just because one boy hurt me does not mean the next one

will. I know most girls will say “all boys are the same” but I know that’s far from true

and I’m not going to assume that you’re just like all the other boys.

   5. I don’t like going out all the time.

I’m a pretty simple girl. Dinner and a movie is fun and all but nothing beats cuddling at

home watching movies and eating chinese food. I’m not your typical high maintenance

girl that expects guys to go above and beyond for me. I don’t expect you to pay for me all the time. Money can’t buy love. We both have lives, we both have things we have to pay for. Don’t feel like you have to spoil me with gifts or spend lots of money on me. That’s not what relationships are all about.

   6. I’m not your typical girl.

Make-up isn’t exactly my thing. I barely know how to put it on and when I do it takes

hours. I don’t get my nails done very often and when I do, they barely last a week. I love

playing video games…hell, I bet I could give you a run for your money in Call of Duty. I love playing sports, whether it’s dribbling past someone on the soccer field or hitting a triple in backyard baseball, I’ll play any chance I can get. Oh, and I throw a mean spiral so you better watch out.

   7. I’m in it for the long run.

Unlike most girls, I don’t date any boy that calls me cute. I don’t date unless I can see

things going somewhere. There is no point in wasting my time on something that isn’t

going to benefit me in the future. So, if you’re serious about dating me and you’re willing

to put in the effort, keep on reading. If not, be honest and let me know so no one’s time is

wasted.

  8. My insecurities may get the best of me.

I’m going to have days where I feel great about myself and days where I want to stay in

and hide from every mirror in site. I can’t predict my good and bad days, they come

without warning. So if there are ever days where I take my insecurities out on you, I’m

sorry. If I get jealous of other girls, it’s not because I don’t trust you. There will be days

that I worry you’ll find someone better than me and although I shouldn’t take my

insecurities out on you, I may. If I’m dating you, it’s because I trust you. My actions due

to insecurities may make you believe otherwise but I promise I do.

 9. But I will love you unconditionally.

I promise that if our relationship is as important to you as it will be to me, the positives

will outweigh the negatives. Whether it’s surprising you with dinner or writing you a

sappy love letter, I’m going to spoil you in any way I can. Not a day will go by where you

feel unappreciated. You apart of my life for a reason and I’m going to show you why. I

will never give you any reason to question your significance.

Love,

   (hopefully) your next girlfriend
