What Are Boyfriend /Girlfriend Relationships All About? 61
I’m having trouble finding my type
Hey Terra,
I know exactly what my type is. She’s 5 feet, 8 inches, she weighs 120 pounds, and she
has long blond hair and great legs. I know we could be so happy. The problem is, I’m having
trouble finding her.
Help!
Dear Help,
Are you saying that if you met a great girl who was petite and had brown hair, you wouldn’t
go out with her because she isn’t your type?! By defining your type only in physicalterms,
you’re totally limiting your options. You might overlook a potential girlfriend just because she
doesn’t fit your dream profile.
Put your ideas of beauty aside for a moment and make a list of what you’re looking for
in a relationship—without listing physical attributes. Focus on qualities you admire in people,
such as being affectionate or trustworthy, or having a good sense of humor—whatever’s
important to you. After you make your list, start looking for girls who have some of these
qualities. You might find yourself falling in love with someone who doesn’t resemble what you
thought your type was. Life can be full of all kinds of pleasant surprises! Thanks for writing.
In friendship,
Terra
Am I too picky?
Hey Terra,
I have very high standards when it comes to the guys I go out with, but lately, I haven’t had
much luck meeting the kind of guys I’m interested in. My mom says that I shouldn’t be so
picky because “nobody’s perfect.” What do you think?
