I like my boyfriends clean shaven and cleanly dressed. If they have wit and a friendly smile, I will take them even unshaven. If they like to dance, and are good at it, I can overlook a lot of cosmetic flaws.

JB needs to travel the world before settling down...he's too young to be doing "married/devout" already.

So what you do is find a really hot girl and ask her out every Tuesday until she says yes. We'll call her Cameron ...

As far as I understand this, JB wants to find a GF not a wife. "Traveling the world" also means getting to know some girls real close.

If you look at my post, you'll see that i used a pair of " "...therefore it wasn't to be taken literally...

No harm done, I thought your "traveling the world" more interesting, and expanded it to "experiencing the world."

So what does an expert like you recommend young jbennet to do?

LOL! I have to monitor this post

I have had all sorts of boyfriends, but the ones I really like are creative types like musicians (composers), writers, poets, painters (no house painters please), as long as they have a little humor and wit, and are no sourpusses or malcontents.

My recommendation to JB, girls like to be wooed, look (not stare) at them, smile at them, wave at them, talk to them politely, laugh with them, give them flowers or just one flower. Simple stuff like that will do wonders.

A word of caution, girls can break your heart, but it is just temporary.

I got married at 19, so I can't give any advice Only had one GF and I married her (she was 18 at the time). And we've traveled the world together these past 46 years. But that was me in 1962. Today, you need more education so at 19 you can't get too involved. JB is going to do just great.
