I Need a Man Like This

Back home now with Boyfriend. Spent a very pleasant and low-key evening.

Read the following on a Chinese website. Absolutely agree with it and translated this post into English.

Boyfriend actually fits most of this.

I NEED A MAN LIKE THIS

- A little shy, but once said “I love you” loudly as we parted on the street.

- Keeps his word.

- Is never late -- but is not mad when I’m late.

- Hugs me for a long time, tightly – each time I get up I almost need to slightly push him away.

- Goes to sleep a little later than me. Wakes up a little earlier.

- Whispers my name when he wakes up – and it's not the wrong name.

- Remembers my birthday, shoe size, password, what I’m most scared of.

- Wouldn't laugh at me when I scream at an insect.

- Walking to a garden in the morning after the rain, we use little branches to take the worms on the road back to the grass… he helps me.

- Looks like a trickster when he laughs – but is not.

- When I’m sick, he takes a day off from work to take me to the doctor. On the way back, buys me an ice cream as reward.

- Never drinks before he drives. Asks me to put my seatbelt on.

- Helps me do housework, every day, while chatting with me.

- Often helps others, for no reason.

- Promises me that he would never do it, then never does it.

- Whistles while he fixes the toilet.

- Says: I wish you were my daughter.

- Can give him the yolk of a hard-boiled egg to eat.

- Walking together in the rain, he carries me through a puddle; says: “Wouldn't mind if you put on a little more weight.”

- Does not leave the room while we are arguing.

- Admits his mistakes.

- Reads the instruction for a hair removal cream, then teaches me how to use it.

- Laughs when I tell a joke.

- When I see a dress I like in 3 different colors; he says: “Why don’t you try on all three?”

- While I try shoes on, he folds my cartoon socks and puts them into his shirt pocket.

- Often says: “Don’t worry, there's me!”

- When something bad happens, only tells me afterwards, casually.

- Has clean, short nails. Likes it when I cut his nails.

- Likes every dish I make; asks me to make it again tomorrow.

- Children love him; often comes home with muddy pants because he had been playing with them downstairs.

- Easily opens soda bottle that I couldn’t open.

- When I’m busy, reserves a plane ticket for me and tells me to take my parents on vacation.

- Tells me I can call him 24-hours a day.

- Tells me not to be stingy about money.

- Volunteers to give blood; brings me back a cookie they give out at the clinic.

- Secretly buys a “double raincoat” [PB: I guess this is a raincoat that two people can wear at the same time] and puts it in the car.

- I like to go barefoot. He puts a little sheepskin rug under the passenger seat.

- When leaves notes for me, draws a little tiger head as his signature.

- Occasionally calls me Mom.

- Stutters when he lies.

- When arguing with others, sounds like he’s explaining.

- Taught me how to rollerblade; Ran about a 1,000 kilometers with me.

- Never chats online.

- His secretary says she would help him sew the button that are loose on his shirt. He says: Thanks, but not thanks.

- Gives me not flowers but plants. Helps to water them for me.

- Plays boardgames with me. Allows me to take back moves.

- Actually told his parents about me very early on.

- Likes to exercise. Takes me to his gym.

- Still fits into his jeans from 10 years ago.

- Has a big dog. His dog likes me.

- When we argue and I tell him to give me back the teddy bear I gave him, he absolutely refuses.
