When it’s finished, I stand back and admire my work. I already have a massive crush on the girl who fits all of these things, and I don’t even know her yet.
“Do you think I’m asking too much here?” I say, looking over at Bryce.
“Nah, man. You gotta have standards. Now don’t go off and hook up with some hot chick just because she fits one or two of these things.”
I shake my head. “That won’t happen. I’m not even considering asking a girl to be my girlfriend until she fits every single one.”
Before I fold up the list and put it in my wallet, I take a picture of it with my phone for safe keeping.
Of course, using my phone requires deleting unread messages from Jenny, which is annoying. I take one last look at my list before I get back to work.
The perfect girl for me is out there, and she’ll fit every single one of these things.
