FIVE TYPES OF GUYS GIRLS FALL FOR

Love is a beautiful thing when you share it with the right person. However, most people are scared of really being in love. Here are the five kind of guys ladies love to fall in love with. 1. The First Love. Also commonly known as "The High School Sweetheart." Sweet, innocent, idealistic…this is the stuff coming-of-age movies are made of. The First Love is probably the first boy you'll ever kiss. (Or at least the first one you'll kiss and feel the earth move.) 2. The One That Could Have Been (But the Timing Was Always Off). Maybe you met him while one of you was already in a relationship. Maybe every time you started to get close, life or work or something else completely unexpected came between you. Maybe it was simply God watching out for you, because He knows the two of you burned too brightly together to ever sustain a lasting spark. Perhaps in another lifetime you were perfect together…but not this one. 3. The Bad Boy. This one will probably steal your heart in your early 20's, in those years when you're trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be, and discovering your wings seems to come with a side of rebellion. You'll think you can change him, but you can't. (And secretly, you won't want to, because if you did, he'd no longer be the boy who stole your heart). He'll make you cry as much or more than he makes you laugh. Underneath it all, you suspect he has a heart of gold…and he probably does…but it will take years and many women after you to uncover it. 4. The One That Got Away. This boy will seem perfect…and secretly, you suspect he is. He'll say all the right things, do all the right things, be the very picture of everything you ever imagined you wanted…except now that you have it, you question if you're ready for that kind of perfection. And chances are, you're not. Life knows when you're ready. GOD knows when you're ready. So even though The One That Got Away offers you everything you thought you wanted, he offers nothing you KNOW you need. And what you need is more time. Time to date other boys you'll like but won't love. Time to not date at all and just figure out who YOU are. Except you didn't. 5. The One. I haven't met this one yet. I like to think he's a mix of the four loves that came before him. I like to think he's sweet and steadfast like The First Love, and passionate and challenging like The One That Could Have Been, and a little wild and rough around the edges like The Bad Boy, with the heart for commitment and building a life together like The One That Got Away. I like to think he's all of them and none of them, all at the same time. I like to think he personifies this list and also erases it…using the scattered pieces of my heart he gently reclaims from each of them as the eraser.
