Guys: If I Can Find An Amazing Girl, You Can Find One, Too!
First off, I would like to tell every guy out there that no matter how hopeless you think your love life is, there's always hope.two years ago yesterday, I asked my current girlfriend to be my better half. I was a wannabe emo kid, I loved Star Trek and other sci fi things, was a total computer geek, and I was pretty awkward and shy. When we first were dating, I "planned out" things: when I would first kiss her, when we should hang out more than once a week, and before we were dating I planned when we would hold hands and when I would put my arm around her.
Now, granted, it wasn't all perfectly planned, but there was still that idea behind it. And that was just weird.
I did a lot of weird stuff like that. I mean, come on, the first thing I ever said to her was, "hey, did you know my computer cost more than my car?" Yikes.
But she stuck with me through these two years. When I got my first job (full time, manual labor, yikes x2) she stuck with me. When I moved away to college and was a HUGE baby about it, she stuck with me. And look at what she has to put up with every day! Star Trek talk, talking about video games, and she never hears the end of what this character or that character did in the book I'm writing.
But she stuck with me through all of that, and that's what makes her an angel. She's gorgeous, smart, funny, nice, and goofy. Seriously, if *I* got a girl like that, then the sky's the limit for all you guys that think that there's no hope for you. Sure, we fight and argue. I said SHE was perfect, not me!
The basic key to finding a girl like the one I have (not mine, you can't have her!) is letting your guard down, getting rid of preconc eptions and letting HER come to YOU. Okay, maybe my girlfriend didn't come to me PER SE, but she was right in front of my nose - just like the girl of your dreams could be. Be bold, be yourself, and don't be afraid to tell her just HOW much your computer cost.

That's sweet.
You sound like a legitimately good guy.Most guys aren't looking for the amazing girl in their late teens/early 20's & usually take them for granted.@XoShameOnMeoX@xanga - If there is one thing that ticks me off more than anything in relationships, it's someone who takes their SO for granted.
I wait you find her.
Wow, I was just talking to one of my buddies about this.. He's kind of a softy and is really down on life right now because of girls... When him and his last gf broke up he was so hopeless.. I kept telling him to stop thinking about and just enjoy himself... 3 days after he said he was over it was just going to focus on friends, he meets a girl and started dateing her.
Lucky guy. I've always been looking for that, had it a few times but just my luck all of their families moved. Guess that's life's way of saying I have to wait. Definitely can't take them for granted.
Guys just need to have balls. GO FOR IT!!!Â
Be careful now, I'm sure the fights aren't always your fault, even if relationship dynamics require you to say so. ;)
girls feel like this too ya know :/
i thought i was an amazing girl for watching my boyfriend play video games hours upon hours, and baking him things (that he throws up because he does everytime i make him anything), and letting him decide where we go to eat EVERY time, and having sex with him even though i know it's wrong, and constantly complimenting him, and going to the movies with him to watch movies i absolutely hate but pretend to like just so he wouldn't feel bad about it, and being there for him at 2 in the morning because he couldn't sleep even though he was never there for me when i couldn't sleep. and remembering that his favorite flavor is blueberry. and loving him so much and telling him things i would never tell my closest friends.
but i guess i'm not amazing, because he doesn't love me anymore.
This is really sweet. You kinda sound like my boyfriend. Now he has me playing x-box with him!! haha!
Adorable =)
I hope there are more guys like you out there for us girls.
aww this is a super sweet blog but thanks for being so honest. i should let my so read this blog because it took us a long time to get where we're at now. i've always stuck by him no matter what, even if i don't always support it.
This is super endearing. I'm glad you found someone and aren't taking her for granted. :)
Sweet story and hopefully it stops boys from becoming evil.
Just be careful about the timing of things. You don't want to say these things on a first date now...
Haha, my computer cost more than my first car. (as a girl) I go for the geeks, but those guys who are so hung up on how impossible it is to find a decent girl are impossible to deal with, which is probably why they have trouble.
how cute! lols.
Finally something different from your ordinary...
I'M AN EMO PERSON AND CAN'T GET ANYONE..
ok, someone needs to make a "Girls: If I Can Find An Amazing Guy, You Can Find One, Too!" haha =P
Aw, this is so sweet. I really enjoyed this post. Congrats and good luck with your relationship!
@immaairheadxl@xanga - Everyone is "emo". Unless you're a cyborg and have no emotions... which would be interesting.
Some people are just lucky, I suppose.
This was a very cute story. I loved your pick-up line.
@RazorBladeParade@xanga - everyone doesn't need to be down 24/7.
You're making it harder than it is.
HAHA I thought you were going to say "Don't be afraid to tell her how much you love her" but then you said computer. I guess both things are...personal.
I think any one can find some one. You just have to be patient and not expect someone to fit all of your expectations completely. If the person you are going out with chews with their mouth open and that's the only thing you hate about them, who cares? That's one tiny thing.
A lot of people are looking for such perfect people, no wonder there are so many hopeless romantics out there. Don't look for your "Edward Cullen" *cringes*. HE IS NOT REAL.
If you don't have extremely high expectations, and you relax, then you should be able to find someone for you.
Cute!
