Letter 2

Sunday, January 27, 2008
Hey girl,

Haven’t seen you in awhile. In fact, I don’t think we’ve met…yet. But don’t worry, we will…eventually. And when we do, I hope that you will love me for who I am. Please remember that I play soccer and tennis, not football. Also remember that I’m a guy, so please don’t be mad at me when I choose to watch ESPN instead of The Notebook. Please keep in mind that even though I act like nothing bothers me, my feelings get hurt sometimes.

I don’t talk much on the phone, so don’t think that I don’t want to talk to you if I am quiet, but stay on because I know that you will be on the other side. When you are with your friends, please refer to me as your “boyfriend”, not you “stupid” or “retarded” boyfriend. I promise to stand up for you when my friends are talking about you, and I also promise to love you more than all of your friends put together. When I act jealous or over-protective, please know that it is not your fault. I am a guy and that means I have insecurities. Promise me that you will not flirt with other guys…too much. That makes me very self-conscious and makes me feel as if I am not good enough.

I am not very good at making decision, but when I do, please back me up and not put me down. Remember that I do think about you when I am making up my mind. And NO, you are not fat, so quit asking! You don’t have to dress up for me. I think you look great in jeans, a t-shirt, and a ponytail.

I promise to open doors for you, give you rides, pay for your ticket when we go watch a movie, and walk you to your door when we reach your home. All I want in return is your appreciation. I want to be happy making you happy. Please remember that I have feelings too, and if I am having a bad day, it’s never your fault. Just be sure that you are there for me.

Every relationship is like a new game of cards. Unfortunately, I have never been good at cards. I am not perfect even though I like to think that I am (I am a guy). I will probably be nervous or even scared (just don’t tell anyone that).

I am coming, so stay right where you are and not go anywhere. Don’t change for me because I will love you for who you are. Stay pure, I will find you, and when I do, it will be nice to meet you! Oh and by the way, my name is Harold.

Love,
Me.
