There are two types of girls that I like and befriend.

The first kind is funny, honest, and real. If a girl tells me something that most people might try to hide, I immediately know I like her. For example, if I tell a girl that I like her shoes and she says something like, "Oh, I have the widest feet so I have to go everywhere to find shoes," I know we'll click. This is just an example, but I think that is really real and honest of her to share, so I will like her! If a girl hides her imperfections and bad stuff going on in her life, and put up a front that her life is perfect and everything is just so honky dory, I might like her, but I know we won't be good friends.

Now, the second type of girl that I know I will immediately like is someone who reminds me of my mom. Let me rephrase that- someone with a personality and demeanour of what I think my mom was like at our age. So what do I think my mom was like? Probably kind of shy. Kind. Soft spoken. Not the center of attention. Not the opinionated one. She was most likely the quiet girl in the corner. Not so quiet that she was invisible, but just not overbearing. I know my mom was really sweet and gave everyone she met a warm feeling with her eyes and smile. So, it's odd, but if I meet someone and I think that she reminds me of my mom, I will immediately bond with her. There is someone at my church who I instantly felt a connection to and I think that it's because she reminds me of my mom! Is this strange?
