"Date a guy who..."
picture-cdn

I was recently talking to a women older than me and she discussed her divorce with me. With this she then went into asking me about my previous relationships and asked if the guy had acted certain ways. She seemed amazed that I responded with, "no", for a lot of the questions. Then, we went on to talking about what I should keep my eyes open for in a guy.


Date a guy who...

Says good morning and goodnight.

Even if you fell asleep on him, if he wakes up before you and he texts you good morning to let you know you're on his mind then keep him around.

Says to you, "drive safe."

He wants to show you that he cares whether or not you get from "point A" to "point B" safely.

Loves his mom or if he's family oriented.

If he loves his mom then he most likely knows how to treat a girl he really cares for and loves. If he's family oriented, then that means he probably wants a family of his own one day and will be a good father, hopefully.

Trusts you.

He lets you be when you're with the girls and says, "have fun." Or even if you have guy friends, he won't ask a million questions about them.

Likes/loves you for who you are and not what you have.

He values you as a person and not the things you have. If he values who you are then he will deserve everything you have to offer him, physically and emotionally.

Sings with you or to you.

This shows he's confident and doesn't care how bad he may sound, as long as it puts a smile on your face.

Reminds you how special you are.

Whether it be compliments or just asking how you are, it shows you mean something special to him.

Isn't embarrassed of you.

If he's embarrassed of you and who you are, then forget him. Be with someone who isn't embarrassed of you either at your good, happy, sad, or mad times.

Shares similar interests.

You don't need to have everything in common because that's how you try new things, but have some things in common so then you're not always butting heads.

Sees you in his future.

Does he talk about his future? Does he include you in it? If so then he plans to be with you long term and isn't a "just for now guy."

If this doesn't relate to him at all, then tell him bye and off to the next. This is some of the best advice I've ever taken in.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
