I'm That Guy


I’m the guy who gets out of his car and opens the door for you…That’s the kind of guy I am. I’m the guy who speaks up for things and is willing to fight when need be...words or fists. The guy that will bake cookies for you on Valentine’s day…who likes to sit in cafes and talk or write…I like to dance around and act silly to 80s pops songs. Who sometimes likes to use terms like gurrrrrrrl…who cries at romantic comedies and sad commercials about abused animals…who has fantasies about his wedding and how he’d propose and how he knows he’ll cry at his wedding…who likes to try and always look nice and sometimes spends too much time in the mirror and sometimes doesn’t give a shit how he looks. I’m the guy who says he’s getting fat when he weighs a healthy weight and the guy that likes to have gag worthy things like “our song, our restaurant, our favorite place to travel to” I’m the guy who likes to sing in his car to songs like “I’ll Stand By You and Total Eclipse of the Heart” I’m the guy who would kiss you even when your nose is runny and you sound like a drag queen who has smoked for 40 years. I’m the guy who loves going to sports games and screaming and cheering and also loves to sit quietly and watch a play or hell maybe even a ballet. I’m the guy who would sit by your side in the hospital all day and night and would run through rainstorms with you and warm up with you next to a fire naked. I’d try and become interested in things you are passionate about or just appreciate the fact that you are passionate about them. I’m the guy who used to play with dolls as a kid and wished he was Baby from Dirty Dancing just so he could do that dance at the end of the film. I’m the guy who fantasizes about late nights with holding his crying baby or the Christmas cards we would send to families and friends. I’m the guy who imagines he is having a cup of coffee with your mom talking about you while you’re still sleeping. I’m the guy who likes to stay healthy and is not at all and will never be a gym rat. I'm the guy who loves watching documentaries about nature and likes to have picnics in parks.  I’m the guy who believes in love, friendships, and simple acts of kindness. I’d rather spend my days vacationing on a tropical island and not partying at a white party. I'm not an attention getter but likes when people pay attention to me. I’m the guy who doesn’t believe romance is dead. I’m the guy who would do really really stupid things just to make you laugh or the guy who would back off when you needed space. Who would do anything in his power to impress you if he loved you. I’m the guy who would buy you a star or make you a mix tape…yea I’m that guy. I’m the guy that screams when I see a roach but would free a spider if I found one. I’m the guy who loves horror movies but then is sometimes afraid of the dark after. I sometimes sleep with a stuffed animal. I’m the guy who likes to always quote movies. Who sometimes does disgusting things like blow his nose in the shower and bite his nails. I’m the guy who can be over dramatic or not emotional enough. I’m the guy who has a nervous laugh when something is really awkward or tragic. I’m the guy who wants to travel the world with you and at the same time never wants to leave the coach with you.  I’m the guy who would do anything in his power to make you happy.  I’m that guy.

…Does that make me Masculine or Feminine? or does that just make me ME.
