Ah, Romance

I spent most of today with Boyce Avenue on my playlist, and now I'm falling in love all over again. Their covers are invariably better than the originals... I mean, they make Bruno Mars sound good.

Yeah. They're that good.

As part of research for some boring work-related project, I stumbled across several studies on what women look for in a man, and vice-versa. Which got me thinking - which is never a good thing.

So here it is...all the things I want in a man. Apart from the obvious (personal hygiene, no bad breath, good sense of humour and intelligence)

I want a man that will sing to me...sing for me. Nothing is hotter than a man with a voice...except a man who knows how to use said voice. While I would love it if he was crooning a slow, romantic song, I'd also appreciate a man that can pull off singing something absolutely nonsensical...like how frogs don't cry (song courtesy : my Silver Lining).

Ah, romance. Every woman's dream. Okay, maybe not every woman. Definitely my dream though. Interested candidates may contact me for an application form.

I'd appreciate a man that can dance...or is willing to at least try. Nothing beats being wrapped in someone's arms, swaying to music only the two of you can hear. Unless you're tiny and he's really tall - that's just all kinds of awkward. Trust me.

A man that's going to be okay with helping out around the house.

A man that loves his Mom.

A man that loves (and wants) kids.

A man that will be alright with just holding me close and letting me cry when I need to - no questions asked.

A man that understands that I have days when I feel so insecure, my biggest fear is that he'll walk out the door and find someone better... It's happened before, it can happen again. On days like that, all it takes is a long hug.

A man that doesn't hesitate to voice his opinions...but knows how to do it without being loud or obnoxious.

And I know this is a cliché, but I'd want a man who can make me feel like I'm the only woman he has eyes for.

Nothing else matters.


Check out Boyce Avenue...highly recommended by yours truly.


This is 'Just The Way You Are'



And this is 'Grenade', dedicated to my Silver Lining, who hates this song. :)



And now, I will go back to sighing and wishing for a man with a voice to fall desperately in love with me.
