A Girl You Should Date & nona merah Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books.

Fail her. Why be frightened of everything that you are not? If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. You will propose on a hot air balloon.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes. – Rosemarie Urquico – Like this: Like Loading...
