Josh New Name's blog: "Why I'm Single"

I wrote this about a year ago - and I've been asked recently a lot while I was single - so I thought I would through it up here for reading purposes... (and yes - i wrote this haha) I keep seeing these blogs with "This is the guy I want" or "This is the guy I am" crap. So I made up my own - this is what I want, and this is why i'm single.

I want a girl that has time for me because she needs to see me, not one that needs to make time for me because she feels like she ought to.

I want a girl that looks forward to hearing from me and thinks about me often, not one that only thinks about me when she hears from me.

I want a girl that says I want to be with him, instead a girl that asks me why I'm single.

I want a girl that knows something is bothering me and asks what's wrong, instead of a girl that asks if something is bothering me.

I want a girl that can't wait for me to meet her family, not one that dreads the day when I do.

I want a girl that's my soul mate, not just a girlfriend for company. I want a girl that when I ask her what she's doing a few days from now, she says she's coming over to hang out, not someone that says she'll have to see what's going on and get back to me.

I want a girl who likes me and who I can take to a nice restaurant, not a girl that likes me because I take her to a nice restaurant.

I want a girl that realizes how great I am as soon as she meets me, not a girl that realizes how great I could have been after I stop calling.

I want a girl that's sophisticated and loves to dress up, yet can wear her pajamas around me and be totally comfortable.

I want a girl that loves life before she meets me, and who loves it infinitely more after meeting me.

I want a girl that makes me worry about losing her and her worry about losing me so that we never take one another for granted.

I want a girl that says sorry first before telling me she can't be there and to hear how disappointed she is about it.

I want a girl that lights up a room by walking into it.

I want a girl who thought her life was complete before meeting me, but wonders what she'd now do without me.

I want a girl that makes me ache when I can't be near her. And when she is near, ache from not holding her hand.

I want a girl that loves hearing how beautiful she is from me if she's dressed to the nines or in sweats and loves hearing it.

I want a girl who I can make eye contact with from across the room and know exactly what she's thinking.

I want a girl that can have a crummy day, but make it better for her just by being there with her. I want a girl that I can look at and wonder about what our children would look like.

I want a girl that takes care of herself, who pushes herself, who drives herself, but can totally kick back with me and just have fun.

I want a girl that just fits right laying with me.

I want a girl who's face I can cup in my hands and just get lost gazing at her.

I want a girl who I can have amazing conversations with.

I want a girl that looks up to the sky to look at the stars before she gets into her car.

I want a girl that cries from seeing beautiful things.

I want a girl who is moved, who is touched by the smallest things and appreciates them.

I want a girl who I give immense butterflies to, and who gives me amazing butterflies.

I want a girl that I can spoil ridiculously.

I want a girl that brags about me to her girlfriends.

I want a girl that laughs whole heartedly and makes me laugh just from hearing her laughing.

I want a girl that knows the difference between to, too, two, they're, their, there, your and you're and uses them correctly.

I want a girl that I can kiss for hours until our lips go numb. Then kiss more.

I want a gril who I can wake up next to and fall in love with her all over again - every morning.

I want a girl that makes me realize how lucky I am to have her, and a girl that feels like she's the luckiest girl in the world for having me.

I want a girl that's sexy, and funny, and smart, and cute, and loves having a good time doing ANYTHING.

I want a dork.

I want a girl that loves reading, and politics, and art, and history, and debating me, and offers counter points to my arguments, and music and loves life so much. A girl who's caring, compassionate, loyal, trust worthy, seductive, sensual, charming, energetic, adventurous, spontaneous, daring, talkative, inquisitive, always smiling, and who makes me want to be a better person, and who wants to be better because of me.

I want a girl that drives me, pushes me, challenges me, questions me, intrigues me, flatters me, compliments me, adores me for me for my good and my bad.

I know my standards are high. I know I expect a lot. I know that I may never find someone like this. I know that I can't have everything. I know that I may be impractical. I know that some say, butterflies and infatuation wane over time. I know how ridiculous all this must sound to some. But this is what I want, and I will not accept any relationship short of it. Fuck all the money in the world, give me a cabin in Kentucky with the woman of my dreams and you will see the happiest man in the world.
