i wrote this a few years back. a friend of mine reminded me of the article because he was waiting for his guy who was running late. i have since added a few from the list below but i've yet to meet my prince. i do hope he's still out there! ;D
Dear Prince Charming,
Here's the deal. I'm single, gainfully employed, not entirely unattractive, smart, likeable, and last but not the least charming. So what's the problem you say? See the problem here is -- no one's biting. I've been on this good earth all of 27 years and I have yet to meet the ONE for me. I'm beginning to think that finding Prince Charming is Mission: Impossible! So I'm going to make this easy for everyone concerned. I've listed down (not necessarily in order of importance) the qualities I'm looking for in a man. And they are as follows:
If you fit any and all of the criteria above then you're the man I'm looking for. You can reach me at search4myprincecharming@yahoo.com.
Sincerely,
Emily Nora Puno
ps. Prince Charming if you are out there -- find me please!
pps. only if you look like him --
Dear Prince Charming,
Here's the deal. I'm single, gainfully employed, not entirely unattractive, smart, likeable, and last but not the least charming. So what's the problem you say? See the problem here is -- no one's biting. I've been on this good earth all of 27 years and I have yet to meet the ONE for me. I'm beginning to think that finding Prince Charming is Mission: Impossible! So I'm going to make this easy for everyone concerned. I've listed down (not necessarily in order of importance) the qualities I'm looking for in a man. And they are as follows:
1. Dependable a.k.a. responsible a.k.a. employed. A dependable man for me is someone who is motivated and driven to succeed in all endeavors be it big or small -- the bigger the better, if you ask me. A responsible man is someone who won't forget that it's my birthday and won't be late for dates because “Punctuality is the nobility of Kings” and because I hate waiting. And yes, he has to be employed because otherwise, how will he be able to afford to date me and buy me flowers just because I'm special? Just be grateful I didn't say filthy rich.
2. Faithful. I think faithfulness is definitely a must in any relationship because you have to be able to trust one another to make it work. And more importantly, because I have no time to deal with a two-timing, good-for-nothing bastard. Life is just too short honey.
3. Good sense of humor. I'm looking for a guy who can make me laugh even if I had a lousy day at work. Someone who sees the humor in any given situation because life's like that. I can’t stress enough the importance of humor because at the end of the day, if he can’t even laugh with me then what else is there to share?
4. Kind. Contrary to popular belief, the Feminist Movement did not kill chivalry. Feminist though I am, I’m still a great big fan of "knights in shining business suits". I am definitely partial to a man who will offer his seat in a bus to a pregnant woman, or go out of his way to help an old lady across the street. Animal lovers are a definite plus and someone who shows how much he cares for Mother Nature by recycling will score big points with me.
5. Mature. I'm not saying mature as in old here but mature as in emotionally stable. I need someone who will see beyond my neuroses and accept me for who I am and what I believe in. Someone who will argue with me constructively and still would be willing to compromise. In short, I'm saying that my prince charming is definitely NOT a mama's boy.
If you fit any and all of the criteria above then you're the man I'm looking for. You can reach me at search4myprincecharming@yahoo.com.
Sincerely,
Emily Nora Puno
