will make me a mix tape?

Can I find a man who will make me a mix tape?

Remember that?  When we felt like our feelings just couldn't be expressed any better than through someone else's love song lyrics?

If you have a good taste in music (and I pray that you do if I'm going to try to date you), a mix tape is a perfect way to make a girl go weak in the knees.  Truly.  I've had some amazing mix tapes in my life - I'm lucky like that.  And every time, I melt into a puddle of goo after I listen to them.

But, be aware:

We will analyze every lyric, every word even, for some secret glimpse into your soul and your feelings for us.  So you must choose carefully.  One wrong song and you send the girl into a panic attack.  So please, no Sir Mix-A-Lot.  Nothing with a "friend" theme.  And make sure the song isn't about breaking up.  Some of those break up tunes say some really sweet things before they drop the bomb.

In conclusion: a mixtape, when executed well, is the most adorable old-school way to make a girl swoon.

is a creative gift giver?

Can I find a man who is a creative gift giver? 

For example:

Today I went to lunch with a dear friend - who I am hopelessly attracted to and he lives miles and miles away - and almost every single time I see him, he has some little gift for me.  (Yes, gentlemen, he is that guy.  That guy that makes you look bad.)  Always something little and sweet.  Flowers, a book, a card, what have you. 

So today, he presents me with this: 

A perfect, tiny pumpkin.

I mean, how adorable is that?  Seriously?  Seriously.  That is so flipping cute.  I just about melted into a puddle of goo.

Here's my point, guys.  It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive.  It just has to have some thought behind it.  He knows me well enough to know I would love this.  And it's quirky and cool and makes me think "what an amazing guy". 

His mission: accomplished.

And now I'm over here swooning about it. 

can buy me a ring from Tiffany & Co like it's no big thing?

Can I find a man who can buy me an engagement ring from Tiffany & Co -

- that one, please and thank you -

without having to bat an eyelash?  And without making a face like "whoa, this is pricey for a RING".

Y'know what, pal?  That ring is gonna be on my finger for the rest of my LIFE.  So I want it to be flipping AWESOME.  Plus, if I mean that much to you that you want to be tied to me until you croak, I would think a measly $30,000 wouldn't be that big of a deal if you're thinking about the decades I will spend admiring it.

And perhaps, if I'm not feeling greedy in my old age, I will bequeath it to our daughter or something nice like that.
