what's your type?

One of the most interesting things about people is learning what their type is, you know?  Who do they always date?  How much stock do they place in things like height, hair colour, religion... whatever? 

I date pretty much exclusively tall redheads or redbeards, which is crazy.  I think all redheads have a thing where we seek each other out in order to continue the species.  EW right?!  All of you are like "...gingers... :("  Too bad for you.  I will date all of the tall redheaded men on your behalf.

What else do these boys need?  To be funny and to listen to CBC.  At least a passing interest in reading books.  A nice peacoat always helps, and the right shoes.  The shoes make it or break it, dudes.  A beard would be nice.  Oh, and please be exceptionally bright.  No big deal, right?  I just need someone tall with broad shoulders who is cultured and funny and smart.  Uhhh.

Somehow though, they keep turning up.  I was giving a pep talk to a friend of mine the other week after a sucky break-up left them feeling sort of unlovable.  The thing is, people keep turning up and falling in love with us, and we keep falling in love with them.  No matter what happens, someone else always comes along.  You are tremendously love-able, and there is always someone around the corner looking for someone just like you. 

A very wise girl once texted me this: "Two things that always arrive with time: busses and boys."  Good advice.  Someone that is precisely your type is waiting to meet you tomorrow, next week, or in a month.  I love you already, they will soon. 

hi call me.
