So, tonight, I was talking to my mom and told her that I got asked on a date this weekend. When she asked who and I said a name she didn't recognize, her first question was this;
"Is he cute?"
And that got me thinking.
When did we begin putting so much emphasis on people's appearance? What ever happened to looking into someone's heart and liking them for WHO they are?
I'll be honest, I haven't seen the guy that asked me out in six years, so my opinion of his looks is based solely on pictures on Facebook. But what I like about this start is this; I know I like his personality. I'm not being blinded by looks, I'm getting to know him as a person. We just happened to start talking Sunday night and have been talking non-stop since. It's one of those rare things where I feel incredibly comfortable talking to him and we keep discovering all these things we have in common (like the way we eat oreos, haha). I think America has completely lost sight of what's important in their relationships. You could be with the most attractive person, but if they don't have a kind heart or a personality that clicks with yours, it just doesn't seem worth it. The point of a relationship, whether it's romantic or platonic, is that you have someone that you enjoy being with, that you can talk to and depend on. All I can say is, I would much rather be with someone whose personality makes them attractive rather than their body.
Oh, and he is cute. Just thought I'd clarify that.
"It's beauty which captures your attention; personality which captures your heart."
