I went on a lovely date last night with a boy I very much like. He is really sweet and affectionate and super cute. He rides a sweet fixed gear (and has a car), has a full time job that he likes, seems really responsible, has a degree in English and wants to go back for an MA in English.
He writes amazing poetry that isn't at all sappy or terrible. We can talk for hours and get along so well. I get the feeling that he really likes me too. However, he is like three or four inches shorter than me. Now I know that I am pretty tall so thats gonna happen.... but it still feels kind of weird. With the list of demands that I have for a boy though, I might just have to learn to be less picky about height. I am embarrassed that it even bothers me because I know that it shouldn't, but I am still very aware of it.
I want a boy who is feministy, sweet, patient, kind, open minded, interested in politics and social issues, likes to bike, suffers from NO mental illness, doesn't drink much, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs, is smart, educated, stable, interesting and very attractive. If I find a boy who fits all of those things but who is much shorter than me... then what?
