Writing Exercize: My Perfect Guy

So I read about this writing exercise where you describe what you look for in a "Perfect Guy/Girl", and I thought it would be fun, so here goes. =)

There are a lot of different aspects I could address when describing my perfect guy - looks, strength, intelligence, - but none of those truly matter to me as much as the two aspects I count as most important. Those aspects, are his faith, and his personality.
My perfect guy would have to share my faith completely. By that I don't just mean that he has to say he is a "Christian", but that he would truly live it out, and not compromise his faith for anything the world might throw at him. I would want him to be as completely sold-out for God as I am. (or at least as much as I want and try to be) This is important to me, not only because the Bible says that that is the wise thing to do, but because of the reasoning behind it. I would want to be able to share my life completely with my husband someday, in all aspects, and my faith is a hugely important aspect of my life, that intertwines and affects all other aspects of my life. If I coul dn't share that with a guy, I would never even consider dating him, much less anything more.
The second most important aspect I would look for in a guy, is one of the most obvious aspects - his personality. My perfect guy would be sweet, caring, loving, and romantic, it's true, but I look a bit deeper than the standard "girly" answer. One of the most important personality traits I would look for is trustworthiness. If I was to give my heart to someone, I would have to know that I could trust them not to break it. Not only that, but I would also want to be able to trust him with my past, my deepest darkest secrets and fears, my hopes and my dreams.... My perfect guy would also be loyal, ambitious, expressive, passionate.... I could go on and on. But yet, at the same time, my perfect guy would posess something more than even these. He would be courageous, chivalrous, brave. My perfect man would not be a sissy. He would be a real man and fill the role God meant men to fill. By that, I do not mean he would trample all over me and be a tyrant. We would be equal partners, but he would care for me and love me and protect me like he was meant to, and he would also take the lead in the relationship like he was meant to.
There is another thing, now that I think of it, that I would also look for. My perfect guy would be interested in me. Lol. It seems funny to say, but it's true - a guy could be all the things I've listed above, but then not be interested in me.  I would want my guy to want to listen and know what I have to say, be interested in my life, my hopes, my dreams my fears. I would want him to be interested in what is going on in my life, simply because it is a part of me. Especially my writing and my music. Those are huge to me. My songs are each a little piece of who I am, who I've been, or who I want to be. I would want him to love my songs and be interested in them for just that reason.
That is pretty much the end of my little writing exercise. I actually got a whole lot deeper than I thought I would. A little bit of self discovery there. lol.
=) Well, chau!!

  1. I dont think such a guy exists. The perfect guy would be the one you can still love despite his failings, despite him not living up to all that you expect.

  2. I'm sure you are right.
    The thing is, he doesn't have to be perfect.
    Whoever the guy I will end up with someday is, I'm sure he will not fit this descriptions exactly, but the main thing is, if we both love God, and love each other, that's enough. The rest is optional.
