There are many things I do not have time for when it comes to the dating scene. I don’t have much patience in general, and when it comes to dating, that patience runs out faster. I don’t want to waste my time, but I also don’t want to waste someone else’s time either. If we like each other, cool. If we don’t like each other, that’s cool, too. I have a lot of standards and a lot of expectations when it comes to my dating life. I don’t have much time on my hands, but I do have time for some dating concepts.
1. A Man Who Loves Jesus
A man who loves Jesus more than he’ll ever love me is probably the most attractive thing. Pursue Jesus, then pursue me.
2. Opening Things
This includes opening car doors, doors in general, really tough jars, and reaching the top shelf at the store. I’m short, and your long arms can reach the gallon bag of M&Ms. Those long arms are also fantastic to fix the leak under the sink.
3. Cheesy Dates
All of those dates that everyone “hates” but secretly is in love with? Take me on those ones. Give me scavenger hunts downtown and intense games of mini golf. All cheese is welcome here.
4. Take Me To Church
One of the cutest and swoon-worthy things is asking me to come to church with you. Let’s go. Right now. Ring by spring?
5. Family Time
Family is one of the most important things to me. Of course, I want to meet your baby sister, she’s adorable! And yes, I do want to be best friends with your mom.
6. Board Games
Nothing brings out my competitiveness like a good board game. Put monopoly in front of me and it’s game on.
7. BOLDNESS
I totally have time for a man who makes no bones about his feelings. If you can walk up to me with confidence and ask me on a date, just because of your boldness I’d probably say yes.
8. Communication
Communication is the most important part of any kind of relationship. If you don't have communication, then you have no way of knowing what the other person is thinking, feeling, or wanting. Communication is key.
I don't have a lot of time in general, so when it comes to my dating life I don't want anyone's time wasted. I'm not hard to please, I just have my standards set. A man who's so in love with Jesus, cheesy board games, and family? Give me that guy. I want lots of laughter and lots of fun. Give me the guy that's too goofy to handle and gets way too competitive during board games. Dating doesn't have to be hard. Set your standards and keep them. The right goofy, Jesus-loving guy will come.
