There are a lot of girls my age that are either currently in strong, serious relationships, or single. Then, there are girls that try their hardest to just find someone to meet half of their standards in order to be "boyfriend material."

There are no in-betweens with this. I've known so many girls fall for a guy that wasn't even worth their time, that was awful to them just because SHE wanted to feel loved and wanted by someone. It breaks my heart that things like that happen.

For me? I date someone because I see a future and can see myself potentially marrying that person. I take it seriously, maybe more seriously than I should. I'm definitely not saying you have to settle down and find a man that will commit right away.

I'm only 19. I've got my whole life ahead of me. I'm writing this because I really think me doing this, will help some girls out there really think and see what's going on, finding their self-worth. You do NOT need a guy to be happy, let me tell you that straight up before I go any further. For me, when I was about 15 I started thinking about how old I'd be when I got married, what he'd look like, how many dogs we'd have, things like that. So as I'm writing this, please note that these are my for real thoughts as I am typing and that this is my own personal thoughts and expressions.

Dear future husband,

Yes, as soon as I typed that out I immediately thought of the song that Meghan Trainor sang about this. Anyways..

I hope you know that I am praying for you everyday, hoping you're doing the same.

I've been praying for a Godly man to help me in my walk with Christ, and I hope you've been doing the same.

I can't wait to go to church with you every Sunday.

Every girl has always wanted to go to church with the man she loves and adores.

I must warn you, when it's "that time" of the month, bless your heart for dealing with it.

I can be a mean person when it's that time of the month, and I constantly want ice cream, more than normal. Actually, I crave a lot of junk food and all I want to do is sleep. I apologize in advance for all of this.

I am sassy, but please don't hold back and get sassy with me and put me in my place (because Lord knows sometimes that needs to happen).

Sometimes I will throw random sass when I don't mean to, and sometimes I do mean to. You should learn how to throw it back at me and put me in my place. I need it, I can't always win, even when I think I can.

I am begging you, no matter how annoying my brother is, please be his best friend and play video games with him.

My brother is my best friend, regardless of how many times he may frustrate me. It's important to me that you two get along. I'm not saying you have to be together 24/7 but try to be a good role model for him.

If I find a stray dog or cat, please don't be mad at me for bringing it home. I'm a major animal lover and it breaks my heart seeing them without a home. So why not OUR home?

I'm hoping you're an animal lover and have this exact same problem. Maybe we can have an animal rescue place in our back yard.

Please understand how important my relationship with God is.

I grew up loving The Lord and praying everyday, reading my Bible. He's my rock and what got me here, and He is the reason we will be lead to each other.

Sometimes, I'll have random cravings for Taco Bell or McDonald's late at night. Taco Bell at 4 AM? Don't mind if I do!

What person doesn't crave fast food every once in a while late at night when you can't sleep? Or is that just me?

Be patient with me.

I can be very indecisive, and have a "princess" attitude, and sometimes I'm too goofy. Sometimes I need extra reassurance or love. Just like everyone else, I have my flaws.

Future husband, I'm praying for you, and I can't wait to change my last name to yours. Always and forever.
