The Girl You Should Date
Dear Gentle Readers,
I stumbled upon this entertaining post through a friend of mine. It is a little piece entitled "A Girl You Should Date" by Rosemarie Urquico. It rather charmingly suggests that girls who read make better girlfriends [and people as a whole] because they know how to use their imaginations to make life more interesting and they have a different way of seeing the world. It begins:
"Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve."
The article continues with a lighthearted but sincere litany of qualities that readers inherently possess, including the kind of joie de vivre that only comes through having lived centuries across different continents with only a paperback as a passport.
I imagine if you folks take a second to look over the article, I'll bet you will happily recognize that some of those qualities describe you. So while the title of this piece is "A Girl You Should Date," it could just as easily be entitled "A Boy You Should Date," "A Friend You Should Have," or "The Person You Should Be."
