No matter how interesting, fascinating or beautiful she is, don't date a girl who travels.
She’s the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the
sun. Her skin is now far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s
burnt with multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there. But for every
flaw on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.
Don’t date a girl who travels. She is hard to please. The
usual dinner-movie date at the mall will suck the life out of her. Her soul
craves for new experiences and adventures. She will be unimpressed with your
new car and your expensive watch. She would rather climb a rock or jump out of
an airplane than hear you brag about it.
Don’t date a girl who travels because she will bug you to
book a flight every time there’s an airline seat sale. She won’t party at
Republiq. And she will never pay over $100 for Avicii because she knows that
one weekend of clubbing is equivalent to one week somewhere far more exciting.
Chances are, she can’t hold a steady job. Or she’s probably
daydreaming about quitting. She doesn't want to keep working her ass off for
someone else’s dream. She has her own and is working towards it. She is a
freelancer. She makes money from designing, writing, photography or something
that requires creativity and imagination. Don’t waste her time complaining
about your boring job.
Don’t date a girl who travels. She might have wasted her
college degree and switched careers entirely. She is now a dive instructor or a
yoga teacher. She’s not sure when the next paycheck is coming. But she doesn't
work like a robot all day, she goes out and takes what life has to offer and
challenges you to do the same.
Don’t date a girl who travels for she has chosen a life of
uncertainty. She doesn't have a plan or a permanent address. She goes with the
flow and follows her heart. She dances to the beat of her own drum. She doesn't
wear a watch. Her days are ruled by the sun and the moon. When the waves are
calling, life stops and she will be oblivious to everything else for a moment.
But she has learned that the most important thing in life isn't surfing.
Don’t date a girl who travels as she tends to speak her
mind. She will never try to impress your parents or friends. She knows respect,
but isn't afraid to hold a debate about global issues or social responsibility.
She will never need you. She knows how to pitch a tent and
screw her own fins without your help. She cooks well and doesn't need you to
pay for her meals. She is too independent and won’t care whether you travel
with her or not. She will forget to check in with you when she arrives at her
destination. She’s busy living in the present. She talks to strangers. She will
meet many interesting, like-minded people from around the world who share her
passion and dreams. She will be bored with you.
So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with
her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her.
Let her go.
