Thirty Day Blog Challenge: Five Ways to Win My Heart

I recently read the blog post of my dear friend Sorah and saw that she was doing a thirty day blog challenge. I decided that I needed something to inspire my blog writing so I have accepted said challenge. A lot of these topics I’m sure were intended for women (ie deeply emotional inquiries having to do with self image, clothing and dark chocolate) but I’ll try to make them as interesting as possible. 

#1-Five Ways to Win My Heart

1) Taco Bell- This is more than just allowing me to having Taco Bell but a woman who enjoys Taco Bell is good in my book. Nothing says I am low maintenance and festive like a girl who likes to make the occasional (or regular) run for the border. 

2) Be mature- I can’t stand girls that take themselves way too seriously but simultaneously act like they are 13 years old. For example if a girl ever says anything along the lines of… “Jessica tried to apologize for borrowing my favorite pair of skinnies on the day I was totally going to wear them for our date but I’m still ignoring her. That’s like so mean of her…RIGHT?!?!?” she couldn’t be less attractive.

3) Have direction- Kind of going along the lines of #2, females that have goals and ambitions are infinitely more attractive than girls that have graduated from college but don’t want to pursue a real job because that would halt all progress in their quest for marriage. Don’t get me wrong, I want to get married but trust me when I say its OK to think about something other than finding your eternal mate.

4) Don’t be afraid to call me out of my crap- 37% of what I say is dangerously inaccurate or absurd. I need someone who is going to provide me with an adequate amount of checks and balances in conversation. Another example. I was once at a social gathering and had the following coversation with a girl.

Girl-“So what are you majoring in?”

Me-“self-discovery.”

Girl-“Huh, interesting. What kind of classes are you taking?”

Me-“Oh you know just a lot of meditation, hiking and bowling.”

Girl-“Sounds like a fun major. I’m an elementary education major.”

I’m 100% positive that she had no idea that I was lying. Maybe I should change this one to “Don’t be unintelligent” or “Know when I am being sarcastic.”

5) Enjoy baseball games- I understand that baseball isn’t for everyone. I’m not looking for a fanatic, just someone who enjoys going to games with me. She also has to understand that as soon as I retire that I’m going to drop a few hundred…ok probably more like a few thousand dollars on season tickets.
