Date a man who is ...

You know the latest craze where it starts with 'Date a girl who is...' My bestfriend, H, read about the 'Date a girl who travels' and thought of me. He said "(Smelly S) is very lucky to have you." People keep telling me that my Smelly S is very lucky to have me, but I think I am just equally lucky to have him. So here's my version of 'Date a man who is...'

Date a man who is not afraid to show you to his world, which includes his family and best friends. Date a man who tells the world about you because he is proud to have you, and only you. When he does that to a world of strangers, he is also telling them that there's nothing more that he wants other than you. No one else matters. Date a man who takes time off his day to meet you even after 24 hour shift and only had 2 hours of sleep. Date a man who is always trying to fix things even when you're the one who breaks it over the smallest of things. He will stay even if it's after midnight and the cab ride back home is going to cost a bomb, because he made a promise not to let you go to sleep feeling angry. Date a man who made you cry, not out of sadness, but by the things you least expected him to say. Date a man who wiped away the tears when he listened to your story and shares your burden with you. Because he said that your joy becomes his, and your burden is his to carry too. Date a man who holds you hand when you cross the road because he always wants you to be safe. He texts you to ride and drive safe not because he thinks you're a reckless driver/rider, but others might be and he just wants you to be home in one piece. Date a man who jokes almost all the time because every day with him is a different day or maybe he just likes to listen to your laughter or just how your face lights up. Date a man who loves waking up to you, and says it's the 'best feeling ever', and you know you look like crap with no make-up, and god forbid, with an oily face. Many a times he says you don't need make-up because he has seen the naked face and love you just the same. Date a man who whispers 'love you' in your ear like he is telling you a secret and kisses your forehead. He knows you like hugs from behind, and he unexpectedly comes from behind when you're browsing for things on the shelf and just wrap his arms around you. Date a man who allows you to lie on his arm for hours and will try not to move or take it away even if it's probably cramping. Or when you wake up the same time as he does, and he kisses your cheek and says, "Good morning." Date a man who knows what he wants in his future, and it's a bonus if he includes you in it without having you to ask. He may promise you the impossible like to love you and only you (no cheating) forever and always, never to leave you and want to spend the rest of his life here and thereafter. Date a man who calls you his soulmate. Date this man, be vulnerable with him, allow him to love you at your best and at your worst, and allow this man... to marry you.
