I know you are all DYING to know what sweeps me off my feet, but before I get to that I simply MUST tell you something. Ladies and gents... I’m awkward. I am as awkward as a fresh RM stepping off the plane about to see his family again after the long 2 years. Or when that RM is about to take a cute girl on a date for the first time after his mission. Yeah, that awkward. Want to know how this happened? Well I have had friends previously come to China and they informed me that after being away for 5 months in a foreign country, you come home awkward. I thought to myself “Psh YEAH RIGHT! I am not going to be that way when I come home!” Oh how I was mistaken. Now, want to hear how I found out I was awkward which, in turn, shattered my world? If not, I am going to continue on anyway. We have a girl named Skylar that we teach and her parents are originally from LA, so you can bet their English is impeccable! Skylar’s mom invited us over to hang out the other day, and we jumped at the chance to hang out with someone who spoke English! To our shock, we caught ourselves speaking really slowly and using language that we do with the children. Not only that but we just didn’t know how to act! I was super fidgety and giggly because it was SO bizarre to be having a normal grown up conversation. It’s a good thing I have 3 more months in China, just enough time to become completely incapable of knowing how to act around people. Life is really funny like that.
Following the request of Miss Stephanie Chidester... First can I just say I am HORRIBLE at dating, I think I might still have cooties. However, just because I have cooties doesn’t mean that I am not able to get the giggles like a little school girl when a boy does something to make me blush. Let the list begin!
- I love it when a boy will call me versus text. It lets me know you care.
- Open the door on a date please. I am typically not picky but I once had a guy not open my door and then ANSWER his phone all in the first 5 minutes, you can bet I was disenchanted quickly.
- I LOVE it when a guy will hold his hand out to me when he wants to hold hands. I like a man who takes charge and it shows me they want to be with me.
- Be nice to my friends. It’s not too difficult boys because they are the best as you all can clearly see.
- Punctuality. It drives me crazy when anyone tells me they will be there at a certain time and don’t waltz in until an hour later. Your word is everything.
- SHOW ME YOU CARE!!! I don’t need to be fawned over every second of the day but it’s nice to be told I am pretty every once in awhile otherwise my brain starts to kick into overdrive and I think you don’t like me... Girls think WAY too much so help us out a little. Save us the stress.
- I love to be caught off guard. I try to always have my ‘cool’ on, but if you surprise me you will get to see how I am really feeling.
- I love to be called babe. I don’t know why really but it makes me feel all mushy inside.
- I love it when a guy pulls me close, especially by the belt loops. I love me some physical affection.
- I know guys need to act macho in front of their friends but I really enjoy it when they turn that off and are themselves in front of me, even if it is just when it’s the two of us.
- Fishermen and Hunters are sexxxxxy. My family is big into that kind of stuff so when I find a guy that is too, I know he will be able to get along with my family.
- I need a guy that I can joke around with. My family is also super crazy and can sometimes be vulgar, so I need someone that can keep up with all of our weirdness.
- I am kind of controlling... I know it’s bad but I need someone that can put me in my place if needed.
- Lastly, BE CONFIDENT! I don’t like reassuring someone I like them over and over, just know who you are and be yourself
10 years later.... There you go! Now you know what makes me Ansley, awkward and cootie infested, blush. Wan An everyone!
