Chocolates & Roses

So, I’ve set myself a new years resolution. I know its late (3 weeks!) but its still the new year right? And i forgot the ones i made in the first place….

My resolution is not dating until after my birthday. That means just under 4 months of defo no dating. Until 2010 – 05 – 23. Now that might not seem like a long time in the scheme of things. But four months is a LONG time. Especially when i’ve been ‘involved’ with someone, just not official.

4 months which oh so conveniently contains Valentines Day. Now dont get me wrong i think it is a ridiculously overcommercialised excuse to sell chocolates & roses, but i turn 18 this year. And i have been single for every one of those 17 Valentines. (Or is it 16?)

So, as 2009 ended, i had almost looked forward with anticipation to the thought of having a Valentine…. I mean what girl doesnt? But then i get that inevitable tugging at the heartstrings and a voice in the back of my head which ends up with yet another Feb 14 where i am forced to “date” a girl.

I love my girls, but there is some part of me that REALLY wants to have a boy spoil me. I have been given flowers by a boy on two occasions in my life, once at each of my school balls.

I love flowers. They also make me sad, cause like everything in this world, they die. They’re like a reminder that nothing is permanent. “Nothing is so good it lasts eternally, perfect situations must go wrong. But this has never yet prevented me wanting far too much for far too long” (I Know Him So Well – Chess the Musical)

I guess thats where their beauty is though. Like the way they can hold so much meaning, that they can say SOOO much, they have so much symbolism. Case point : Hilary Duff movie, The Perfect Man

Chocolates and Roses… Chocolates, tbh i can do without. “a moment on the lips, forever on your hips…” but flowers. Flowers could potentially be the way to a girls heart. Watch above movie to ensure the right way…. :] Of course it also helps if you fit the list…

The list. Defining the perfect boy. Each girls is different.
But the list can be fatal to a male. It can shoot down any hope they have with us.

Basic rundown of mine, according to Kirsty + some movie reasonings…
Awkward (Bleeker from Juno)
Confident
Hot (Kostos from The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants)
Cute
Shy
Outgoing
Nerdy
A jock (Puck or Finn from Glee)
Tanned but pale? (Thats kirsty… IDK???)
MUSICALLY INCLINED (Christian from Moulin Rouge… *swooon*)
+ LOVE GOD.

I dont think i’m asking too much, its in my prayer box, so its out of my hands now.

But on the plus side, I’ve been told i make a brilliant boyfriend. So I am now on the look out for a Valentine, female this year, it shouldnt be too hard, if you’re keen…. Lemme know ahahhahahha.

Hahaha how much have i quantum leaped in this? Ill try and be better next time…
Adios, bed time for Bex.

P.S. TEDDY BEARS PICNIC TOMORROW
