The Dream

Ideally,

He should be tall, dashing and handsome. Opens the car door. Pays for meals. Buys sparkly gifts. Calls you at the right moment. Gives you gifts on important days: Valentines, Christmas, Anniversaries (First Kiss, First Time Holding Hands, First Date, First bla-bla), Birthdays… . A swimmer's physique, dimples, glasses (minishorts likes men with glasses?more intellectual looking-mah). Calls you at night to make sure you're okay. Or if you're lucky, drops by at night to tuck you into bed and provides that essential kiss on the forehead.

Foregoing all of the above, even more ideally, he ought to be sensitive. It's not that difficult really. Realise that arguments are normal. Not look at other couples for inspiration and role models. Not get agitated when opinions clash. Accept that 'to each his own' is an important attitude to employ within a relationship. Realise that co-existence means making efforts to understand that every individual is different, and that when you get hurt, she gets hurt too.

Ideally-lah. So far there's no ideal guy. As for women, our hands are probably raised up, flailing and … yeah you know. Every human being is a dreamer. That very nature of ours, to dream, is embedded so far in… you can't help it really.

    You want a perfect guy. But can you be the perfectly beautiful, intelligent, slim, feminine, understanding and caring girl that a perfect guy wants?
