Date A Girl Who...

*Note: this entry has been refined so the meaning of my words can be expressed better.

When I read an article that was shared by a friend on Facebook, I found it both fascinating as well as amused by the way the author put perspective about girls who travel. As much as I am a girl who wishes I could travel the world, I couldnt entirely agree with what the author had to put out. She seems to be implying that girls who travel are thrifty, always on the go, forgiving, and the likes. And I cant really agree.

I know plenty of girls who travel because they can, because they have the money, and because their families always have that opportunity. No doubt, these girls have travelled much and definitely have seen a lot of the world that most of us who never travel may never see. I wouldnt say they are spendthrifts and prissy. But this does not mean that they automatically acquire qualities the author seems to equate with travelling!

Those qualities undoubtedly come from experiencing a lot from life. And it does not mean that she has to travel all over the world just to get that quality. They MIGHT. But they might also not.

Personally, I think when it comes to picking or dating a girl, no one can really tell you who to pick. Ultimately, the decision will come from yourself. If it were me, I would choose someone whom I can understand, trust and rely on even at the most difficult of times.

Choose a person who shares the same sense of humour as you. Because that would mean that you will never have to experience another awkward moment with them because no matter how embarassing or silly it was, the both of you can have a good laugh about it.

Choose a girl you almost never have to explain yourself to. Because when times are hard, she will understand (or at the least, forgive) the reason for your actions and will not badger you for the things you do. She will know how it feels like to be in your shoes, even without you asking that of her.

Choose someone you can spend the day together without saying a word. If you are both on the same wavelength, since when did words ever become necessary?

Choose someone you can spend days, weeks, even years apart, and yet when you meet, it seems like nothing had ever ended.

Choose a person you will always feel comfortable with. That would mean that the both of you have a mutual understanding of each other. You will need her when your days are sickening and you feel like you have no other reason to live.

Choose a person that you know you can always count on. Those who have earned your trust are probably the ones who have been through the thick and thin with you. And if you have found someone you know you can trust with your life, cherish them, and dont take them for granted.

Choose someone who has seen the best and the worst of you, and still think you are the best. Because that would mean that she is in love with you.

And that is how you know that she is right for you. Well, I dont have to be right. *excuse the pun* As usual, just saying my piece.
