Date a guy who reads. At first probably you won’t notice that he has the bookworm or bibliophile persona, but it turns out that he does. Even not only towards science fiction, mystery and adventure, but also poetry. Or romance. Buy him a cup of tea (because too much caffeine is not healthy) or a mug of hot choco. Ask him what he thinks about Roald Dahl, Truman Capote, Erich Segal, or JK Rowling. Ask if he ever read novels by Sophie Kinsella, but don’t be surprised if he says he doesn’t. Ask him about non-fiction genre. What specific topic does he interested about? Ask him whether he prefers to be Mr. Phileas Fogg, who’s calm and straightforward but also a gentleman in nature; or be like Mr. Darcy: aloof, slightly arrogant but actually a devoted lover. Don’t forget to let him describes his favorite heroes and authors as well.
Date a guy who travels. Or better yet, crave for adventure. He wants to accompany you in completing your mission in traveling around the world. No need to use air-balloon (but still, it would be romantic). It doesn’t matter whether it is far or nearby, as long as you are with him. To hike Mt.Bromo to see the sunrise and enjoy Jazz Gunung; or to track Magica De Spell’s trace in Mt. Vesuvius. To visit Burj Khalifa followed by short visit to Klondike and Duckburg. To enjoy pale pink sands in Lombok and traditional dance in Bali or to ponder at the serene shore of Maldives. To choose the less traveled path offroads at least once in a lifetime.
Date a guy who loves music and movies. And art. Be it rock, pop, soul, jazz, RnB or ballads, as long as you have at least one (or two!) common favorite musicians, then it would be great. Ask him to swap each other playlist for a day. Take him out to star-gazing at clear night sky, while listening to A Sky Full of Stars. Ask him what does the song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ reminds him of. Accompany him to watch concert, even though you hardly listen to metal songs. Take him to watch the Broadway and visit MOMA or the Smithsonians. Ask if he has watched St. Elmo’s Fire and whose story he likes the most.
Date a guy who wants to cook with you. And works hand-in-hand doing the chores. So he respects you as partner and won’t treat you like an inferior. Watch the Master Chef or Chef’s Table, try some of the recipes. Buy comics or novels with culinary storyline and practice the recipe. Probably the kitchen would turn into a mess, but cleaning up together is priceless.
Date a guy who befriends with various people, from all nations, across race, age or beliefs. So you have plenty to share and ask. And together you will become rich of experience; this will make you wiser and wealthier.
Better yet, find a guy who writes.
