To my future boyfriend,
You don't know this, but I've been single for awhile. It's been four years since I dated someone, like actually dated someone. I've gone on dates between then and now, but nothing has ever become more. No one seemed to like me after the initial date, or something happened and we just stopped talking. To be fair, I have had my fair share of stopping something before it started, because I knew it wouldn't turn into anything. But forget them, this letter is for you.
I want you to know that I have more baggage than I can hold, and I don't need you to carry anything for me. If anything, I'll set some of this down and carry something of yours. What's yours is mine- from the minute we start dating I'll have your back. Being single has taught me a selflessness that one can only master after dealing with loneliness for so long. I want to know all of your secrets and feelings- anything you feel comfortable telling me- and I want you to know mine. I hope it would bring us to be closer together eventually. I wish nothing more than to know more about you than anyone else has ever known.
I also want you to know that I'm not just dating to date. Anything I put time and effort into should have an impact on me, and I hope that this relationship of ours will be a substantial one. I want the very best for us, and I promise I won't do anything that will damage us. You are more important to me than you realize, because you have to be everything I was waiting for or I wouldn't be dating you. A relationship takes a lot of work, and to work on something for someone I like means nothing in the long run. I have a feeling that my next relationship (that's you) will be my last, because I don't date, and if I'm dating you then you're something special.
Pay attention, because this is a big one: I don't like snakes. At all. They scare me and I used to have nightmares about them. We can raise my dog (Onyx Obsidian) together, and we can even get twelve more dogs if our hearts desire, but I don't want anything creepy crawly in our lives. I do, however, want a pet chipmunk. I think they're really cute, and if you love me (I'm sure you will) then we will raise our furry and cuddly animals together.
Coffee comes first. Whether we just started dating or if we've been dating for five years, I'm not leaving the house until I do my morning routine. And that means two cups of coffee, in one of my coffee cups of my collection, with a 1/5 of creamer.
I don't scare easy, but I do get mad. Please forgive me for anything I say in advance. I told you that I won't do anything to damage us, and I mean it. But sometimes I get so angry, and I need you to be there for me like you would be there for someone who is scared. I don't ask for much but that might be all I need from you. It's a heavy load to bear, and a heavy promise to make, but if you're the man of my dreams then I have no doubt that you'd help me.
This is for you, future boyfriend. You're everything I want and desire in the most simplest way. I have no regret in saying that I hope we don't meet soon, but that we meet when the time is right. There is a saying- a cartoon, actually,- and it goes:
"Well, look who I ran into," Crowed Coincidence.
"Please," Flirted Fate, "This was meant to be."
And so it goes, when it's meant to be, we will be.
From,
A girl who's been single.
