On Trophy Boyfriend

and reasons why I won't settle for less than the dream guy 

Most of my closest friends know how I regard high standards when it comes to choosing a partner. I've been single for years and never seriously dated anyone after parting ways with the guy who broke my heart. I'm much of a loner. I've got crushes and potential boyfriends but none worked out up to now. It's been ages since I started searching for the good looking, professional, rich, religious, family oriented, smart guy. I got my share of beauty, talent, wit, intelligence, and kindness to the world. But overall I am a regular girl and I am never a trophy girlfriend. I can be clingy but I am not high maintenance. However, I want my guy to be high maintenance and then I'll teach him to be jologs. I knew that somehow I had the characteristics of a woman who deserves to meet her dream man. I am choosy and I care to explain. 

1. I am a huge fan girl
If you come upon a chance to browse my blog or see my social network newsfeed, you will know how obsess I am in fan girling. There are few male personalities I admire and they became the standards of the future boyfriend. Because Chris Tiu, Champ Lui Pio, and Atom Araullo exist, I believe that perfect guys are out there. I actually saw one before but we weren't meant to meet yet. 

2. I had a terrible past 
It is seriously a bitter story. He was the cousin of my uhm teenage great love maybe. I should have realize that it was actually the sign - to do not date guys who came from the same clan. Well then I was young and vulnerable. I'm not yet the hopeless romantic kind and I am but overwhelmed with the gesture that this guy is showing. I remember promising myself that I will not commit into a relationship until I graduated in high school. True to that promise, I said yes to the first boyfriend on summer after high school. I knew we were happy back then but I cannot remember any details now. All I had now was the regrets of having him in my history. I met his family and being family oriented was the only criteria he passed if we were to refer to my ideal man checklist. I hate him a lot because he was a cheater. We broke up but I guess I was madly in love before that I beg him to stay. So the love story was extended. Thus, the biggest mistake of my life. Yup yup,too many hard feelings. One thing I am thankful for maybe was because of that terrible past, I get to decide that I shouldn't settle for less. 

3. Coz dreams are meant to come true
I dreamt of watching a Taylor Swift concert. It did not came true on the first concert but the second was surreal experience. I dreamt of meeting my idol and it come true, we even become friends. I dreamt of becoming a licensed civil engineer and it come true. And many more stories of fulfilled dreams in between. Thus, the future awaits for my dream love life to come true. I constantly pray about that. Surely it will be worthwhile to wait.

4. I am a girl. I am hopeless romantic.
Love letters, stargazing, cute photographs, out of town trips, movie dates, dancing under the rain, and everything sweet nothings you see in films. I am sucker for love stories. I'd love to have the sweetest engagement proposal and a lovely wedding. The movies I watch and the books I read are mostly of romantic genre. Purely the reason of the random daydreams about perfect moments shared with the perfect guy. I believe that happy ever after do exist.

4. The guy you'll want your parents to meet 
He got off from his car and he looks gentleman in his polo,denim pants,and sneakers. He was tense because it is the day that you will introduce him to your mom and dad. Interrogation started with where do you live, what do you do for a living, what course did you took up in college, and how much do you love my daughter, hehe. I look forward to that conversation and I've always wanted to brag that my boyfriend grew up to be a fine guy that my parents will trust. 

Some says there is no perfect man nor a guy who has a complete package of an ideal man. The one I am looking for can be negotiable then. If he won't be Mr.Perfect, at least be my Mr.Right.
