When Your Friend's Date Seems Like a Green Flag

Recently I had a friend go on a date, she was very excited, the guy was sweet and everything she was looking for. They ate ice cream together, and talked about life, what led them to the point that they got there. She was gushing about her date when she got home that it was hard not to notice how great he was. He even called her out on her bad habits. It was perfect. Of course, it was a date and now he had ghosted her. It made me think how even mister perfect is really only good in books. I know my husband is fantastic, and he loves me, dotes on me, gives me spoils and calls me out on my stuff too. Mainly when I tell him I'm weak and I don't know how to do things, he'll call me out, knowing all the cabinets, benches, bookshelves, beds, sheds, etc. things I've built on my own.

It made me want to add the poor random date of my friend's into a book. I would write him to being beautiful, smart, and all in all perfect. Of course flaws but nothing that isn't forgiven. Books are imitation of life, not the real thing all the time. That's why we read them, absorb them.

Dear Mr. Ghost Date, I hope you text my friend, but if not, you're being turned into a romance novel. ^_^
