Never judge a book by its cover

My dad always told me not to have serious boyfriends in high school, because I was too young to be acting like I was married. Instead he thought I should just have fun with a lot of different guys. That's exactly what I did.
I set up a strict pattern of how my "boyfriends" should be. Physically, they were all tall, brown hair, beautiful eyes, and good looking. I still go for the same type physically. However, mentally, they had to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic for me to go out with them. I had no interest in falling in love. So, I purposely chose stupid boys, because if they couldn't hold a conversation, they weren't going to win my heart. These were the kind of guys all the girls wanted to date, so they could change them. I think this is why they all felt comfortable with me. I had no plans in changing them at all. I only wanted them for sex and drugs. I gave them my friendship as well. And when it came time to break up, there were never any hard feelings. I don't see them too often anymore,but when I do, I still get a hug and we talk like old friends do.
I made the mistake once of judging someone purely by his appearance. When I met him, I noticed he was very tall, had beautiful blue eyes, an eyebrow piercing, an army jacket, looked mean and stupid. Perfect! I drank so much that night I actually had blackouts. But, I was in need of sex and wanted a one-night-stand. I figured he made a good candidate for the job. We went back to his place and had sex three times. He was fantastic.
That was over 8 ½ years ago and that boy became my husband. I wanted a one-night-stand, but he called me the very next day. We quickly became a couple. And, I realized how intelligent he is. We fell in love in no time. I know it may not be the perfect fairy tale. And our relationship isn't always perfect. But, we do love each other very much and we still try every day to make it work.
