Find a girl who writes. She’s that quiet girl sitting in a quaint coffee shop, scribbling notes in an old, crumply journal for the last hour; The girl listening intently to that scraggly guy reading poetry on stage. During her idle time you will spot her over at Booksale, or a corner in Powerbooks’ literary section. Because chances are, she is also a girl who loves to read.

And why would you not want to date a voracious reader? She will unearth a world of limitless possibilities for you. Someday, when you get married, she will read Sam McBratney to your unborn child. With excitement, she will tell bedtime stories to your pre-schoolers, and gush about The Little Prince and his rose as they grow in to their teens. She will find herself awake at dawn, consumed by an inconvenient urge to write of the night, you and her children in slumber. She will sculpt your kids to devour Neruda, Dickinson, Keats, Murakami and Kundera better than Facebook wall messages, or worse (gasp), Twilight.
Her knack for meticulousness will make her a good mentor to your child. She would agonize for minutes on whether to use a or the. She knows the REAL difference between a simile and a hyperbole, between a comma and a period, and when to appropriately use ellipses, and when not to.
You should date a writer, because in this material world, she is a constant reminder that money isn’t everything; passion is. If money is everything, you won’t be able to find her. No sound-thinking individual ever chooses to write thinking there’s a pot of gold waiting on the other side. And no, that’s not figurative language.

When there’s an occasion, you will never have to worry about extravagant dates and presents, for she is easily pleased with simple gifts. Give her a pen made from wood, a handmade journal to write on, a handwritten love note, or a second-hand reading material on her birthday (oh, how she loves the smell of old pages and books). Take her to a nearby creek and give her a wreath of jasmins for your anniversary. Heck, you can even give her an onion. Rest assured she can make something poetic out of it.
In return, you can expect more than just ordinary thank you cards, for she can say I love you in a hundred different ways. She can say it in haiku, through a sonnet, or in prose, or if you’re truly lucky, in the pages of a newspaper.
Date someone who writes if you’re tired of small talks and superficial conversations. She may be a bit OC, but she is smart. Her ability to articulate is far better than her ability to cook. She sees the meaning in that song that’s just too deep to comprehend, because her wit encompasses grammar,vocabulary and structured lessons. Her sensitivity to the world makes her understand feelings and literature better than she understands her own period.
And when you get tired of talking, you need not worry about dead air. She sees the beauty in silence; constantly babbling is not necessary. A gaze is enough to bedazzle her.

If you like adventure and spontaneity, then you’d surely appreciate a girl who writes. She is brimming with creativity, and is driven by spurs-of-the-moment and the unconventional. She will take you to magical journeys: mystic poetry readings, angsty concerts, idyllic beaches, sunsets and rains. She does not settle for the ordinary, for in her world, nothing is ordinary. Every sight, scent, sound and feel is a plethora of meanings.
When you are together, she will look at you intently and with awe, memorizing every intricate detail that forms you as a whole. She will write about you and immortalize memories in words: the exquisite feel of your hands as you dropped her off her house from a date, how your skin glistens against the moonlight as you make love, that beautiful trinket you gave her. Of course, she will also write about those terrible fights, but how she transforms chaos into beauty is beyond comprehension.
She will weave and dedicate for you a vibrant quilt of poems and prose, and breathe not just life in to them, but soul. When you’ve grown old, you will open her journals and find a thousand doors back into your youth, back into an almost-forgotten world – a world that you can relive over and again.

Date a girl who writes because she is imperfect yet immortal. Her soul and yours will linger beyond time in the pages of history. Find her because unlike those svelte, fair ladies in romance novels, she is more than just an elaborate work of fiction. She is for real.
