1. She remembers dates
We all have that friend who is just overly organized. The person who sends three different reminders about dinner plans, texts your aunt’s cousin’s mom on her birthday, and has an overkill of color-coordination in their planner. This is me among most of my friends. I plan events for a living; therefore each and every detail of my life has to be perfectly planned out, as well.
When I’m in a relationship, I remember dates of all sorts. The first text, the first date, the first kiss, your birthday, your mom’s birthday, your nephew’s birthday. I remember it all because not only is it perfectly coordinated with the appropriate color highlighter in my Lilly Pulitzer planner, but it’s also burned into my brain because I care about you and each milestone we achieve as a couple. The same goes for every other detail-oriented girl out there.
2. She appreciates the little things
I’m sure every guy has dated a girl who either didn’t notice that he opened the car door for her, or just didn’t care enough to say "thank you." I guarantee this particular girl would not have “detail oriented” under the skills section of her resume.
In a culture where it’s becoming more and more “popular” to be emotionless, or to declare our hatred for flowers or chivalrous gestures, there are still a few women left who truly do appreciate the little things you do for us to show you care.
The detail-oriented girl appreciates these gestures on an even higher level because she not only notices every single one of them (seriously, if you even put the toilet seat down, she’ll notice and make sure to thank you) but she also catches the motives and reasoning behind them and appreciates you even more for going that extra mile just to make her happy
3. She’s an absolute weirdo
It drives my family nuts that I am so obsessed with details. I can’t describe a beautiful scene without sounding as if I’m quoting a Nicholas Sparks novel. When I tell a funny story, it always ends up branching into at least three other stories. I can’t roast marshmallows without getting judgmental stares, because I don’t like it perfectly toasted, I prefer that sucker to be engulfed in flames so that it adds some crunch when I bite into it. I also might purposefully run over a sock when I’m vacuuming because the smell of a burning vacuum is the most delightful smell in the world to me.
Being so passionate about details makes me a rather abnormal human being, but it makes me unique. I love that going against the grain is so popular in our society because it adds variety to our pool of prospects. In choosing to date a detail-oriented girl, you never have to worry about her being similar to anyone else. I guarantee you’re getting the original copy when you choose the girl who spends five minutes describing her lunch to you.
4. She’s real
Detail-oriented girls typically don’t have much of a problem opening up. We are generally very emotional people. Everything we feel, we feel to the extreme. When we’re happy, we’re ecstatic. When we’re sad, we’re miserable. When we’re passionate, we go all out. You will never experience anything less than authenticity when dating a detail-oriented girl.
Note: You also have to be extremely careful when dating a detail-oriented girl. The pain is not only magnified when you mess up or hurt her, but she remembers every detail about that pain. Where you were, what you said, what you were wearing. (I still haven’t worn the shirt that I was wearing when my last relationship ended).
So please appreciate the realness of your detail-oriented girl and please for the love of all that is holy, try your best to reciprocate the sincerity that she's showing you.
5. She’ll come to know you like the back of her hand
I once dated a guy that I would occasionally ask “what color are my eyes?” as I quickly covered my face with both hands. And even after a year of dating, he would always guess wrong. As a woman who picks up on everything about her man, this is extremely hurtful.
*Soapbox*: MEN, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LADY!
Anyway, the detail-oriented girl will have you down pat. Within a short amount of time, she’ll know your favorite ice cream flavor, what size shoe you wear, who your favorite artist is, what type of body wash you prefer, and even all of your unique body languages. One of my friends from high school could pick out her boyfriend on the sideline at football games, solely on how he stood with his hands on his hips.
If you’re a man who wants your woman to get to know every single thing that makes you tick, how you're wired, what turns you on, what turns you off…then date the detail-oriented girl.
