My Dream Man

So I started thinking about my dream man. Not really what he looks like because recently I have become less and less enchanted by the tall, dark, and handsome guys I have spent my whole life longing for. I started to think more about what he was like. What I would love about him, what qualities he would possess that would make me wonder why I ever even considered guys that weren’t him, and how we would spend our leisure time together. As I thought about all the things I want in a guy I realized that I was more or less formulating a checklist for any man who would wish to be with me. So here you go fellas, here are the things that I dream about having in my husband. Here is how to win my heart…


Star Wars: I want my husband to love Star Wars, like I do. It isn’t huge thing, but it is something that I love. I want my husband to be able to take a fraction of his day and just sit with me. But not just with me, I want to be able to host Star Wars Marathon parties. I want my husband to love to entertain and have a good time. Let us examine the underlying issue. The pertinent issue is that I want my husband and I to have some similar interests. I don’t expect us to align perfectly; in fact if that was the case I fear it would end up more like an eclipse then an alignment. I just want to be able to hang out with my husband and do things we both love.


Attitude: My husband-to-be has some serious attitude. I come from a family and an environment that is a little bit on the rocky side. Don’t get me wrong; with that statement I don’t intend on incriminating my family, my family is the best there ever was. My intention with the use of the adjective “rocky” was more like a reference to hiking. Our family is tantamount to a large mountain that you have to be well conditioned to compete with. The most difficult hikes are the most rewarding ones. So like that mountain, my family will require a man that can hang with sarcastic conversation and be able to dish it out too. There is no underlying issue with this attribute, it’s pretty cut and dry.


Jeopardy: My husband will be someone who will sit down with me and watch Jeopardy. He will also be able to correctly answer some of the riddles. I don’t need a guy that has memorized all the Encyclopedia Britannica’s but I do want someone who can carry on an intelligent conversation. I want a guy who doesn’t get lost when I use words that you don’t hear every day. My husband will have the ability to stump me and I will love every minute of it.


Thank You: A wise man once told me that using the phrase “thank you” is a mark of intelligence, so I guess this kinda has something to do with the previous paragraph. The man of my dreams says “thank you”. He can recognize when thanks are due and he is not afraid to say it. I’m not hinting to the fact that I am one who frequently does things that deserve thanks, but when those moments do roll around there is nothing I love more then to be told thank you.


Church: I am not currently acquainted with my future husband, but this much I can tell you. He went to church last Sunday. He went last Sunday, and he’ll be there next Sunday too. There is a good chance he has a calling and he is the guy in the ward that the Bishop knows he can count on. I guess more importantly the Lord knows He can count on him and trust him. That is the kind of man I will be with. He will not be perfect, nor will he have a spotless past, however, he expects a lot of himself and he will amount to a lot too. I guess when you boil this attribute down to its most simplistic idea; you come up with a man who knows how to discipline himself. He knows when to say no, and when to say yes. And that my friends, is the man for me.

So there you go fellas, (if there are any that read this…) that is how you can win my heart. If you can look at yourself and say that you have all these qualities and attributes, then we may have a very bright future! So until I meet my husband, I will be waiting patiently, and probably posting many a pointless blog more.
