A very short little drabble that I found in an old notebook from high school. In two (verrrry short) parts.
Tai had very high standards for what he wanted in a girl. The harsh scrutiny always led to the girl falling short, and him ending up alone. He had tried dating Sora, and oh sure he liked her well enough, but her hair was all wrong. She wasn't tall enough. He had found a million superficial flaws.
The pretty blonde at the mall had been too blonde, not enough gold in her flaxen locks. She'd not even lasted two weeks.
Then there was the girl on the soccer team who kept giving him looks. She had lasted until he discovered flecks of green in her eyes. His girlfriend has to have perfect blue eyes, clearer than a summer sky and deeper than the ocean.
Ari, from math class, had a smattering of freckles across her noses, and the girl in the food court was too dark.
Yumi was great, but she was too curvaceous. Tai liked his girls as flat as a board, and slightly toned.
The girl his friends had tried to set him up with had showed too much skin. He'd barely made it through coffee.
Mai couldn't sing, which he'd discovered during karaoke, and she was too friendly besides.
He'd only gone out with Haruka because Kari begged him to. Her lips were too full. Her smile wasn't right, and he just knew kissing her would feel weird.
Tai could describe his perfect girl, but he couldn't find her, even with his friends help. After years of looking, he was starting to believe he'd be lonely forever.
