Sweet, Silly, and Sarcastic Things You'd Like to Say to A Future Significant Other.

[seoulsearch]

Hey Singles!

Is there ever something you wish you could tell your future significant other? I know we've had threads about writing letters to a future spouse , but I was thinking more along the lines of fun little quips, sassy sayings, and observations you might like to say to that "someone special" while waiting. It can be anything... maybe something you wish they knew about you? Something that annoys you and you want to warn them in advance? Questions you're pondering and want to ask?

For example...

I wrote about this in another thread, but I've been on an Action Movie kick lately and recently watched "The Fast & The Furious 6", which was like a Testosterone Explosion. The Rock and Vin Diesel are such huge slabs of manliness that I'm amazed they can both fit into one frame at the same time. Poor little Paul Walker looked so dainty and delicate compared to those two, you might have well have put him in a dress and sandals. But the entire time I was watching the movie, I was thinking... that (the Rock and Mr. Diesel)... have no necks. Their heads are somehow attached to their bodies atop giant racks of shoulders.

This afternoon I watched "Ninja" starting Scott Adkins, who is undoubtedly handsome and talented, but I couldn't help but think... when a man is so lean and rippled that you can see every tendon flexed in his body... It starts to make me think more of an anatomy lecture in which every muscle will be labeled (nothing off-color here, I'm talking about the upper body only) or worse, an autopsy, because I was thinking that all those sinews should just NOT be visible from the outside of the body!!!

All I am saying is... Dear Significant Other (I know, how romantic... I'm going to have put some work into my opening line), please don't think you have to look like that. Yes, I'd like for you to have a regular fitness routine and even be able to teach me the ropes at the gym (I myself stick to my hamster wheel, er... elliptical trainer--I miss free weights but want you there to protect me from being hit on), but please don't think you have to work yourself to death to somehow achieve impossible standards. Please don't starve yourself or look in the mirror and not like what you see because you think you have to look like "one of them." Go ahead and have that steak. And the fries. Enjoy them now in peace because when you meet me, I will probably be stealing a few bites off your plate, along with me own food.

I don't need for you to look like "one of them." I just want you to look like "the one of you"... and be the best God made you to be.

P.S. I would really, really like for you to have a neck. When I see you, I'll need something to throw my arms around. If we go slow dancing, which I hope we will even though I have two left feet and will probably step on both of yours, I'm going to need somewhere to put my arms and hold you close. So please... exercising is great and I'm all for it. But exercising to the point where your normal body parts are disintegrating into walls of unnatural muscle... is rather frightening. I *heart* necks and expect you to have one. Sorry if that seems shallow or superficial.

Hope to meet you soon,
Kim

P.P.S. You don't have to be a Ninja either. Sure, it would be a cool bonus... But it can be negotiated.

Argh. As usual... please forgive the typos. I really do try to proof read but when you've been up since 4 in the morning... your eyes have a way of skipping over mistakes because your brain is already asleep.

As a weird side note... I have also been thinking of pick-up lines to practice in the meantime....

How about, "Baby, You Put the OOOOOO in Oolong."

Dear Unlikely Future Mr. Cristen (yikes that sounds terrible),

I will never look like anyone famous, so if that's an issue for you, there's the door --->

...still reading? Awesome.

I think I should warn you that I have multiple-emotion disorder, a malady that allows for me to feel more than just happy all the time. I get angry or sad or excited or sappy sometimes too...if that's going to make you uncomfortable or think there's something wrong with me, there's the door ---->

Still reading? Impressive...

I like to think about stuff. As in, more stuff than just getting all the laundry done or what to fix you for dinner. I even occasionally like to discuss the stuff I like to think about. If that's an issue and all you want to talk about is what you like to think about, there's the door ---->

STILL READING?!? Are you crazy?

If you can get past my quirks and faults...we could have a lot of adventures together. I hope you're ok with having somebody stand beside you, pray for you, and try to cheer you up when you're feeling down. I hope you're the kind of man who likes to laugh, because sometimes that's the only thing to be done. I hope you love life as much as I (usually) do, and I hope we can support each other and eat ice cream together and burn dinner together (or if you prefer, I can burn it and you can order the pizza...I'm not fussy).

I hope you see the beauty, art, and mystery of the world God has given us to live in, and I hope we can explore it together. I hope we can get sunburned together, swim through rapids together, fall on our butts on mountain trails together, and help each other up.

I hope we spend many evenings on the couch watching movies, but many more with my kids (and yours too if you have them), and I hope we go out and experience life together.

I don't even mind if you like sports, or video games, or reading the paper undisturbed over your morning coffee. I hope you Do have interests all your own, because I do too. I don't need to be up in your business 24/7, and I don't want you in mine that often either.

I hope you exist.

Dear the future Mrs Rush,
Beauty magazines are actually a lie. Those ladies are so photoshopped I'd fear for their life if they were as altered under a plastic surgeons knife as they are with the photoshop knife.

You're gorgeous as you are. All that matters is that you're not stinky

I love that scripture says Jesus was a regular dude with nothing to distinguish him from other men. God could have made sure he looked like King Saul, taller and more good looking than everyone around him... like an Israeli Fabio!!! a king if ever you saw one .... I suspect though, If were meant to live and love as Christ loved, surely there's a point there

Oh and I would love it if you had Phoebes confidence. I wish more was said about her. Love that biblical lady

Yours eventually,
Rush

Slightly less serious,

I would love it if you knew how to rinse dishes. No one needs to wash them straight away, but if you don't rinse after use skynet will rise out of the sentient growth that used to be your salad left overs.... yep, I've seen it happen. Had to time travel back in time and everything to save you.

Also, if the words Space Time and Resurrection mean anything to you, let's just blow this wagon and get married right now!

Oh ohh! and Dentists, LOOOOVE EM! I know, weirdo. But if you're a dentist and can make sure my teeth are always lovely and not producing that stinky 'i hate dentists breath' (you know what I'm talking about), that would be awesome!

And of course, if you haven't yet see the movie 'Serenity' or the tv series Firefly.... please please for the love of all that is awesome, don't make the mistake as so many others have made and watch Serenity first..... it's the conclusion to the TV show.... and seriously, seriously, super seriously, its sooooo awesome

haha, still hopefully eventually yours,
Rush

Dear future Mrs. Nautilus,

Hail Hydra.

Dear handsome future Mr. Husband (yeah I need to work on my opening line too)


You are the best! If we are together, I consider you my best friend, my confidant, my partner in crime, and other cheesy names that I'll probably call you as we get older together. I hope you're up for a ride full of ordinary and non-ordinary experiences, like eating eggs every sunday morning and then not eating eggs some mornings (I couldn't think of any non-ordinary experience sorry) . If you chose to be stuck with me for life, then you already know what to expect...kind of. Be warned though, I really am a night person , I wasn't lying, so I'm sorry if it takes me a while to adapt to normal sleeping hours...or maybe you can adapt to my sleeping hours and we can avoid this conversation (if you're smart).

Anyways, I love you. Stay sweet!! (Hot Rod quote)

 

[zeroturbulence]

Dear future mrs. zero... where have you been all my life?? I hope you like airplanes, and old love songs from the 70's, and beautiful sunsets and beaches and sunshine and staring into each other's eyes and being kind to old people and helping others, especially needy children and have a soft heart full of compassion and a desire to do good and spread love and make this world a little brighter through acts of kindness and ummm... I hope you show up soon... because I'm wondering if you'll ever show up at all.

Hey you, yeah you (insert endearment of choice here),

Don't say I didn't warn you. God didn't break the mold when he made me; he just didn't bother using it at all. I'm quite used to being me and reasonably well adjusted to it. Expect me to find a double meaning in everything you say and like to mess around with your words for fun. I will swing from serious to silly back to serious again while you are still trying to catch up. Try to win my mind not my heart; I'll want to stay around you if you give me interesting stuff to think about. And if you actually want to interrupt our card game so I can teach you the basics of rocket science, then I'll know that you really genuinely like my weirdness out in full force. - me (insert choice of pet name here but only after clearing it with me)

my favorite part of your post..... nicely said sir

hehe, not being stinky is important
But yes, people are as people are. A continuation of the bible on that one, King Saul, the kingly looking dude, all tall and handsome was the peoples choice.... need I say more? God chose David, son of Jesse, and Jesse didn't even think it worth while bringing him out to see Samuel when he came a-king-searching, after all, he just looked after the sheep.
We know to look at the heart instead of what can be seen, and I'm not just talking about looks; the wisest of us even do, but sometimes the heart is hidden behind even more than just flesh and bones or even the things we do that we perceive as important, sometimes the measure of a person is so well hidden their own parents don't even see it. Sometimes the king or queen in God's eye is the person you never looked twice at because they clean the church building quietly without notice, or makes sure the church is open and lights are on before anyone else is there. Sometimes they are the single mum or dad that continues to bless their kids by still living a life for the Lord even when their heart is broken.
Truthfully though, as co-heirs in Christ, we are all kings and queens in our Father's eyes, so rest assured He sees you, he knows you, and is not disappointed.

Blessings to you all,
Daniel.
