He will be at a cozy little local cafĂ© sipping coffee and enjoying biscotti. Mesmerize him with a summer dress and return his smile. Don't assume his awkwardness for lack of confidence.  He will come to you to ask you about the book you are reading. Don't shoo him away, he is genuinely interested in the book and you. Ask him his opinion and how he enjoyed the book. Enjoy the drama of his story telling as he explains how the book made him feel. He will tell how he felt to be a part of the adventure. Admire his child like experiences and gestures. He won't buy you expensive bouquets for Valentines. His love is laced with thoughtfulness. Take the dried rose he gifts you. It would probably be his favorite. Don't throw it away carelessly. Enjoy the story he tells you about the rose. Be part of his dreams, his nostalgia and his fears. Gift him an old first edition you found in a little shop in Paris. He will love the smell of old paper and would soak in the adventure the book has been through. 

Date a guy who dreams, he will appreciate your kindness.

At the old cinema hall he will take you to, hold his hand as you enjoy classics. Offer to buy popcorn and don't interrupt during the movie. Genuinely enjoy the movie because he will want to discuss it at a park later. He will be hurt by inattentiveness but would listen intently to your opinion on the movie. He will slightly pull you by your hand and kiss you softly later. Enjoy tossing flower petals in the stream with him afterwards. The bridge on the stream is his favorite spot. Don't get restless and enjoy the serenity of the place. He doesn't share the place with everyone. Learn to slow dance with him and enjoy long walks in the old city. Be happy to spend days at city museums and art galleries. 

Date a guy who dreams, his love is like a ray of bright sunshine on a foggy day.

Make his preferred egg sandwich on a low day and spend time gently stroking his hair. Listen to his ranting about disappointments and broken dreams. Respond with kindness. Reality will hurt him often; soothe his pain with your attention.  Don't fret on the list of things he would want to try out in a new city. Enjoy the expensive wines and exotic food items he wants to experience. Be part of the stories he tells his friends over dinner later. Teach him practical aspects of life but with baby steps. Hop in the car for surprise trips to new cities and enjoy gazing at stars with him on the beach. He might take time to say he loves you but wait for the gesture. Don't rush him to tell you straight away as he might find it mundane. He will remember your favorite flowers and will quote from your favorite poems. Write short notes for him to express your love. He will save them in a box and remember each word you wrote in it. 

Date a guy who dreams, he will love you like you are his princess.

Let him make plans for a romantic dinner. The restaurant will have a great story and he would know the owner and his story too. Enjoy the warmth of candle light and old wine. Tell him that you would love to cook a meal for him. Bask in his smiles and shy glances. Don't overwhelm him with jewelery and makeup. Put on your grandmother's emerald hair pin. He will buy you a ring that resembles royal jewelery perhaps. Say yes and ask him the story of the Duchess who owns a similar one. Hold his hand in the rain and tell him stories of living in a foreign city. Don't crush his dreams of world peace and revival of renaissance art. Be a part of it. Humor his odd hobbies of collecting memorabilia and autumn leaves. 

Date a guy who dreams and love him in spite of his unworldly dreaminess . Treat him like he means the world to you and he would reciprocate the love. And much more.
