Reasons why I don't date
The main reason, which emcompasses all these reasons, is that I am too similar to Madame Bovary and have read way too many things involving a partner that is so perfect he is beyond reality.
Pretty much, if someone wants to be my boyfriend he has to be better in looks, personality and general ability to make me squee than:
Obviously number 1:
And I mean, he'd have to be better than ALL the Syaorans. Not just one of CCS Syaoran, or clone Syaoran or 'Syaoran' or CCS-Syaoran-when-he's-in-Tsubasa. ALL of them!
I love Syaoran for his strength. His desire to do what he deems as right is just overwhelming. The fact that he doesn't stray from what he needs to do is really inspiring. And I love how devoted he is to Sakura. He also has awesome fighting skills, but that wasn't why I fell in love with him.
Number 2:
I wish I could find a manga pic of him, but they seem to be in relative scarcity at the moment. Yes, the guy'd have to be ten times the prince that Tamaki is.
If Tamaki existed, I'd probably be a Kyouya kind of girl for him. (almost tsundere) There are times when Tamaki's antics annoy me (eg chapter 70) but he really knows how to be sweet. And I like him when he's thinking seriously.
Number 3:
Watanuki too. (Can I also say I'm really happy that he made it onto the cover of a TRC deluxe edition?)
I guess it makes sense that I love both 'Syaoran' and Watanuki. But I love that his motto is pretty much 'to do as much as I can'. Having someone who do everything in his power to help the people he cares about, no matter how much they hate him for it, is a really good kind of strength. And of course, he's not beautiful without the random outbursts of insanity!
At the moment he'd also have to beat:
Takizawa-kun from Eden of the East. Simply because.. well, he seriously makes the squee meter go through the roof. I also like that, among the Selecao, he seems to be the one who takes 'saving Japan' seriously and actually has things he wants to do. Sending the NEETs to Dubai to understand what real hardship is like was a really good way to make them appreciate the society they live in. I mean, it's a bit horrible, but if the results worked, then yay! And he's got something in his mind again.
And, for good measure. they'd need quite a bit of Mr Darcy's style. XD
There are other people who I'd set as the bar, but really, at the moment, it's those people.
My parents are going away for a few months. I get the house to myself =O
