Date A Girl Who Hikes

Date a girl who hikes. Date a girl who spends her weekend on a dangerous mountain climbing instead of strolling in the mall. She lives her life adventurously, without fear; and both of you will live your love as if you’re on a lazy vacation. No drama.

Date a girl who hikes. She is not the one who spends hours putting on her makeup, but when she does she will do it in a simple way and yet it will take your breath away. She has touched the deeper meaning of femininity that penetrates through every layer of her life which makes her beautiful even when she’s not paying attention.

Find a girl who hikes. You will know her by the stuffs she always carries. You may find an Eiger bag instead of Gucci or Prada decorating her small but sturdy shoulder; a shoulder which strong enough to carry kilos of stuffs she brings when hiking. You won’t find mascara or lipstick in her pouch. She will always have a journal, a map, and a compass in her bag. Wherever she goes, she is ready to get lost. You start to recognize that her skin is getting darker. Yes, she is not afraid of sun exposure. She walks and walks till the top of the peak she desires. Chin ups and eyes stare blatantly in to the sun.

You can try to let her down.  But she has learned to toughen up her soul on her rocky path to the peak, the way back home from jungle. There is nothing you can do to let her down. She has experienced the hardships in life more than you can imagine. However, she is still a woman who looks tough on the outside but such a giant softie at heart.

You can try to approach her. But she won’t take an easy road. She will challenge you, but she doesn’t play hard to get, she just takes the harder path that seems like a magical travel through the south wall of Mount Raung, the muddy path of Mount Salak, or the loang road of Mounth Argopuro. It will be a thrilling adventure, but at the end of the path, lies all the treasures you’ve been searching for. You just have to be patient.

Date a girl who hikes. She sees the hidden beauty in everything. You will realize that although she has survived the biting chill at Cartenz just to touch the snow and there is nothing like hot chocolate to fight the Everest’s frozen temperature; at the end of the day she will try to find the way home. Let her know that you are her home. Act like you’re the compass who always leads her home, act like you’re the gravity that holds her feet down the ground when she forgets what it feels like to be at the same ground with you.

She may be not available on weekends. She will be away searching for Edelweiss, again. She’s the one who writes a love letter for you a day before her departure with Avril Lavigne’s “Wish You Were Here” song lyrics in it, or if you’re lucky, she will invite you to join her trip. Go with her. Then you will find out that her adventurous spirit is worth fighting for.

Date girl who hikes. Love her, take care for her, this girl who loves to hikes, but don’t try too hard. Her experience on the mountain has taught her to be simple and practical. She is not one for fancy dinner because for one who is used to survive on the jungle, food is food. She won’t mind simple, cheap dates as long as you find your way to her.

So find a girl who loves to hikes, marry her, and spend the rest of your life with her. Challenge yourself to be a man and be that place she calls home.
