Boys. Guys. Dudes.

I love this feeling.

It's almost a feeling of superiority.

Or maybe it's just a nice self-confidence boost. 

I like when I'm having a conversation with my guy friend

and we're talking about this "other girl" who he likes. And by

mid-conversation, I can tell the girl is me. It just puts such a nice

smile on my face to know that a guy likes me. Every once

in a while, I will find out that someone new likes me. 

Someone who I never would have guessed

likes me.. (although sometimes, I can

take the hints). It's a mixture of

being conceited, complacent,

and just being happy while

feeling special and loved. I usually

will get different reasons as to why the

guy likes me. Most of the time, though, 

it's because I'm different than all the other girls. 

In a good way. I consider that an accomplishment!

I don't want to be like the other girls. I don't believe I'm

like them anyway. I am my own person - and I like it. I am 

not like any other person you will meet. Why's that? I am myself. 

And if that's what attracts guys, then why aren't all girls themselves?

Why do girls feel the need to be someone else? To be something they're not.

Sure - being a girl, I can understand. We all want to be something that

we already know is loved and desired - like those girls on the 

covers and filling the pages of those shiny magazines. 

Or like the popular girls who are always gorgeous

and appear to have the perfect lives. But, what

I've learned is: what guys are really looking

for is for you to be yourself. They're

looking for someone who is true.

Not a fake person who is 

trying too hard to be

something/someone 
else. Moral of

the story?

Be yourself.
