My Perfect Man

On Easter morning in 2012 I woke up and ended a four year relationship with a guy I thought I would marry one day. I was single for the first time in eight years. WOW!

Soon after my breakup I created a list of my standards--something I should have done before I even started dating. Here is the exact list I created:

  • Christian
  • Tall, dark, Handsome :)
  • Has plans for the future
  • Respects his parents
  • Big family
  • lives his values
  • loyal
  • honest
  • respectful
  • loves the seminoles
  • Knows how to fish
  • Dog lover
  • likes to read
  • Movie enthusiast
  • Likes to travel
  • Knows how to cook
While sitting in my bed in my room at the sorority house I created this list. Sam and Gunna were in the room and I looked at them and said, "I'm going to date Joe." Well...I hadn't really even seen or talked to Joe in probably a couple years, but I was sure that he would be perfect. Spring semester was almost over and I had a couple weeks at home before summer classes started. For those two weeks I spent every single day with Joe. I would be the first one over at his house in the evenings and the last one to leave. He was sweet, quiet, and a true gentleman. He fit everything on my list! (except he doesn't like to read)
