Hmm?... these are the things that I was looking for in a guy...

I found this kind of guy but he was not who I think who he was...

I fell in love with wrong men...

I fell in love with men who does not pass to the categories that I'm looking for...

For short, I fell in love unconsciously.

Love is not blind... it just doesn't mind.

Now that I'm single again, I hope and pray that I will meet the kind of man who passes my list.

He may not necessarily be perfect, but if he is close to perfect, then he must be it!

If not, then I'll wait for the man who truly deserves me.

But my question is... Does this kind of man exist? Only God can tell... :)
