How hard is it to find someone, a significant other? What
constitutes a good significant other? I always thought it was a balance of
similarities and differences. The similarities to form common ground and
differences that make the relationship exciting and new. Certain issues take
precedence over others and maybe there must be consensus and agreement if the
relationship would ever last.
I’ve known this girl for a while now. Short, maybe 5’2, brunette
curly hair, dresses nice. She is very passionate about social justice, and our
political views align almost identically. Specifically, we agree completely on
immigration laws. We’ve been in multiple Spanish classes together and she speaks
it probably better than me honestly. She isn’t stuck up. She’s not one of those
girls that dislikes nerdy things. She likes Harry Potter, her and her roommates
named their house The Burrow. She has good taste in music. Once, she recognized
the tune of a Billy Joel song I was humming before class started. She’s nice,
but honest. If there’s something bothering her, she’ll tell you. But she’s not
annoying about it, not complaining all the time. Funny enough it reminds me of
how I act around others. For example there is this other girl in our Spanish class
who is always nice. Never a frown on her face. Never complains about anything.
That isn’t how I am. And it’s not how this girl is either. We’ll complain if
something is bothering us, but only if someone’s willing to listen. She’s
not a recluse. She’ll go out and drink if she has the time. So will I. She has
hobbies, she likes to dance. I like to go to the gym or play video games. She
asked me to explain fantasy basketball to her. She uses twitter, a lot.
She’s almost perfect. She has a boyfriend.
Everything I listed doesn’t matter because of that one fact.
So I set it all aside and just keep looking forward. It just sucks sometimes.
