#(sex would be nice but if she's totally amazing and ace it's negotiable)

little things I want to do with a girl

wake up next to each other in an inn by the sea, with the sunlight dancing on the water and the waves whispering against the rocky shore

attend a ball together and share the last waltz of the night

but also be half of the power couple with the most gorgeous and  historically accurate outfits

work silently on projects in the same room, possibly watching some trashy show on Netflix

sit beside a bonfire at night, staring into the flames 

and probably also roast marshmallows

swap story ideas

banter. so much banter. complete with flirting and playful mutual roasting

cook for her

kiss her. so many times in so many different situations. 

go on actual dates that are more than just awkward Tinder first dates

specifically, spending the day getting lost in the MFA and then hitting up Amorino for hot chocolate would be excellent

be giant history geeks together, from antiquing to comparing notes on our archival research

celebrate with her when she achieves a personal goal

get her schmaltzy romantic gifts

do not test me, future girlfriend. I WILL bust out the (paste) D.E.A.R.E.S.T rings. the color combination is so tacky, but I’ll do it anyway. ye be warned

walk around arm-in-arm, or holding hands. I’ve never actually done that with a girl, unfortunately. it’s such a simple thing, but I’m 27 and I’ve never had the chance
