Ladies!

I see all of these quotes floating around that are sweet and lovely and exist, I'm sure, to encourage girls not to fall for some shmuck. The alternative, however, is to never fall for anyone because no one is like "that poem you read that one time". Reality is that there is someone out there who is The Best for you, but he's not perfect.
The Best still has crappy days at work, The Best doesn't want to lie awake with you every night, holding you while you tell him all your hopes and fears. The Best will still argue with you over something stupid in the middle of Wal-Mart. He will most likely use farts as a form of communication. He won't notice every time you change your eye makeup and if you don't tell him what you want for your birthday, he isn't going to magically read your mind and know. But, someday he'll come home from work, you'll tell him you've had a bad day (again, he's not going to read your mind-or your face, for that matter), and he'll dip you and give you a kiss in the middle of the kitchen. He'll surprise you with your favorite ice-cream that you've been talking about all day (do you see a pattern?), and he'll get up every morning and go to that job that makes him so tired because he's The Best and he loves you. And then, he'll fart in his sleep that night and you'll see that he is not perfect.
Give your guy, or future guy, a break. Don't set them up to disappoint you right from the get-go or you may miss something really special...and really real.
