Dear future boyfriend,

First and foremost, I would like to say that you are going to have your hands full with me. This is not a part time position, being my boyfriend is a full time thing. I will not accept anything less than all of you. I know my worth. I can be stubborn, I can be whiney, sometimes I am needy, and sometimes I can be moody. However; my love will make up for those moments. My love is pure and will only be yours and only yours.

There are somethings you should know about me. The first, is that I have been hurt, lied to, cheated on and used. But I will give you the same fair chance I have given the men in the past. Even though my past has been rocky, I will not use it against you. I know that our relationship is a chance at real happiness. The next, is that I am goofy. It’s something I hope you can put up with, because it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I will do everything I can to make you laugh on your worst days. Your smile alone, will make me smile. The next thing is that sometimes I will just need my space. It has nothing to do with you, but sometimes I will just need my own time. I’ll need my girl time, just like I know you’ll need your bro time. The next thing you should know is that I am going to be proud of you. I am going to want you to meet my family and friends, I will want to show you off to the world. The next thing, is that sometimes I get stuck in my head. It’s easy for me to get lost there. I will need you to help me get out of there. Most importantly, you should know our relationship isn’t going to be easy. We are going to have arguments; we are going to have fights. I know that we are both only human and we have flaws. You should know that I will accept and love all your flaws.

I am rooting for us; I will always have your back. I want nothing more than to see you happy. I know that you are a work in progress, just like me. I want us to build together. I know it is going to take some time, but with God guiding us, we can do anything. As long as you treat me right, I’ll be there. Even if we live in a tiny apartment with brown tap water, I will be there. Because our love will be more important than material things. I am a gem and I hope that you will recognize that, because I can be the best thing to happen to you. I will always make sure you don’t feel alone; that you are loved, wanted, happy, and needed. I will help you to follow your dreams all while holding your hand. I promise, it won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

-Your future girlfriend
