Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy

I realize that my love life wasn't written by Nicholas Sparks.

Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy
Total Sorority Move

“No guy will ever love me this much” my friend murmurs as she analyzes a Twitter video displaying a scrapbook full of sweet, yet totally cheesy, photographs of a couple that a very impassioned boyfriend made for a super fortunate girl.

Now, to put this Twitter personality on a pedestal and compare him to every other average boyfriend isn’t necessarily fair. However, what also isn’t fair is my other friends' responses to the video, commenting that “Twitter boy” is way too emotional, and she in no way finds his obsession over his girlfriend attractive. Considering the uttermost romance us girls are exposed to nowadays is two heart-eyed emojis commented under our selfie, or even complimenting our highlighter (but most importantly knowing what highlighter is), it is hard to distinguish between adoration and delusion.

It is such a novel concept to the majority of girls that when a guy is open to showing his more vulnerable side, he is in fact not a “pussy.” He is simply just emotional. I for one find myself to be smitten over a boy who will race me to a door to hold it for me, is a fan of the long “goodnight text messages” and, believe it or not, actually likes talking about his feelings. This is what I am attracted to, as sometimes you may have to put in a little more effort than normal to spare his feelings. He is genuine and that is something so hard to come by.

The emotional boy is always pushing himself to remember the small details; what outfit you wore to dinner last week, the song lyric you sang just a little bit louder than the rest of the song, or even remembers the cute pose you wanted to do for your Instagram photo. The emotional guy is flawlessly selfless and so beautifully compassionate.

So ladies, be open-minded to the nice guy. Accept him for his giving nature and don’t think twice about it. If even after considering all of this the emotional guy isn’t for you, fine; more nice guys for me!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
