LOL . . . Thank you for the compliment EricaXO, keep flattering me, you'll end up my favorite GC'er, and I'll send you prescious gifts (James executes a courtly bow in your direction).
My Ideal Girl . . . (James muses for a moment)
I'll speak here as if I am talking to the ideal girl in the first person . . . as if I could bridge space and time to direct my words at an Archetypal Entity that, unlike most people, I firmly believe that I deserve . . . in triplicate.
(First)Some Random Attributes:
I love the fact that you care about the way you present yourself. Like when you want to kill me for saying the date is casual dressy and then I take you to your favorite trendy restaruant and you find yourself slightly underdressed . . .
I love the sense of humour you have and sense of fun that show by still having a good time at the restaraunt . . .
I love how clever and witty you are in the use of words as we banter back and forth and sound like the dialogue of an especially good screenplay . . .
I love how much you care about others which shows in your everday random kindnesses to people you owe no obligation . . .
I love how you have no need for mind games, you deal with your own emotional troubles and share your position on things directly with me.
I love the unique ways you can share your life with me, Both the most triumphal and the darkest parts: share without inflicting or punishing. . .
I love your social finesse in everything from the difficult, like putting together a major event, to the simple such as wearing make-up in such a way that an hour's work leaves people saying, you look amazing without make-up . . .
I love the fact that you continue to care both about your health and appearance: revealing yourself to have remained slender and shapely.
(Now)Some Random Little Things:
I can't walk by one of your favorite stores without walking in and buying you something that I think you would like . . .
I can't help but leave little things here and there for you to find so you know I am thinking about you . . .
I can't help torturing you a little bit by making you solve a puzzle that will tell you where I have hidden your anniversary present . . .
(Most Important)Mushy Romantic Stuff:
Even though it has been years since we met and we spend hours together everyday:
I still get weak in the knees when I gaze in your eyes . . .
Everytime I believe I hear the sound of your voice in the distance, I feel excited and have butterflys in my stomach . . .
Just thinking of you makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, and the hairs stand up on the back of neck and my face grows flush . . .
I could be standing in a room full of talking people, but if I hear someone use your name my heart leaps and I eagerly look around . . .
And just the glimmer of a thought of how you feel, smell, and look can put me in an agony of desire . . .
If I can't sincerely and comfortably say these things to the woman after many, many years, then she isn't my ideal woman.
I think that covers pretty much everything, and reveals my basic preferences. Sorry ladies I might not be quite as specific as you, and I never thought I would say it, but I almost appear less shallow than I perceive myself . . .
. Although some of that Mushy Romantic Stuff will make me lose my "Guy's Guy Card".
