Bugs. I hate bugs. But when the occasion arises and I come face to face with one, I kill it (or at least try to while squealing). And every time I think, "god, if I only have a boyfriend I would make him kill it".
I have found during my single days that there is nothing that I cannot get through or handle. We never really NEED anyone else, we WANT someone else. And that's fine because it's nice having a companion to share things with or to do things with. Although some people get a bit too attached to the other person and you never see them again (ehem...).
So, while I was chasing and killing my last bug, I realized that bug killing was definitely on the list of pro-reasons for getting a boyfriend. I randomly listed it as #9 but I was curious to find out with that other numbers were. So, here is my list of reasons to get a boyfriend (in order of importance....I think...):
1. someone who will have sex with you even when you're not all dressed up---it's hard out there for a pimp! And it's really hard to try to look good all the time (first world problems, I know)
2. someone to cuddle with and watch a movie---there are only so many more pillows I can buy for my couch
3. someone to make and share a dinner with---"oh, look at the fabulous meal I just made!" I said to noone....
4. someone to do activities with--everything is better when there's two. Bowling, movie watching, hiking, wing eating, etc.
5. someone to kill all the bugs!!!!!!!
6. someone who you don't have to pay to build all the new Ikea furniture, or change the lightbulb or figure out how to connect the tv to the Super Nintendo, etc.
7. someone to pay for your dinner and/or drinks at least half the time---NYC is expensive! I'm not asking for lobster every night, but if he buys me a burger every once in a while, I would be a happy girl
8. A steady date for all occasions!
9. someone who shares your interests--it's kind of like #4 but I can't really call up Christina and say "yo! Jeopardy's on in 10 minutes wanna come over?!" and she also really doesn't care that the Doctor Who season just started or that The Avengers 2 will be out in 2015....
and finally....
10. someone to cuddle with. period. ----my pillow pet is so sick of me right now!
So there you have it. I don't ask for much. Just 10 little things. For now I will just continue to do these things by myself, for myself and to myself :-)
P.S. while Google searching "reasons to get a boyfriend" in order to see what others are saying, I was confronted with just the opposite. Apparently there are way more reasons to NOT get a boyfriend. Listed third from the top was this little article---"20 reasons you DON'T have a boyfriend" (I am only guilty of 2..3 at the most. Lets see if you can figure out which ones)
