Dear Future Wife I See How This Goes

 

Hey there! Yes, I’m that guy — the one your friends call “a real catch,” but you’re “just not ready for right now.” Let me share something from the other side of those ignored texts and friendly rejections.

What You See (And Choose to Ignore) Now

Listen, I get it. I really do. I’m:

  • The guy who plans actual dates instead of just saying “wyd?”
  • Your mom already loves me (from just seeing my texts on your phone)
  • The one who remembers you hate cilantro and love rainy days
  • Yeah, I’ve got my life together (apparently that’s intimidating?)
  • The friend who helps you move and builds your IKEA furniture

“Apparently being emotionally available is not the flex I thought it was… yet.”

What I Actually Am

You know what’s funny? I’m not boring. I’m just:

  • Grown enough to know drama isn’t love
  • Secure enough to say how I feel
  • Stable enough to plan a future
  • Strong enough to be gentle
  • Smart enough to value peace over chaos

The Reality Check

Let’s be honest here:

  1. I see you dating the guys who:
  • Take 6 hours to reply “k”
  • Have an “it’s complicated” relationship status
  • Think “future plans” means next weekend
  • Still have their “ex” in their Instagram bi

2. Meanwhile, I’m over here:

  • Building a career
  • Working on myself
  • Ready for real connection
  • Actually knowing how to communicate
  • Being called “too nice” (is that even a thing?)

“Plot twist: Being reliable doesn’t mean being boring; it means being grown.”

The Ironic Part

Here’s what makes me smile:

  • I’m the guy you’ll wish you met earlier
  • The one your friends will say “where was he all along?”
  • The future husband material you’re not “ready for” yet
  • The stability you’ll crave after chaos
  • The peace you’ll seek after storms

A Little Secret

You want to know something funny?

  • I’m not waiting around
  • I’m not bitter
  • I’m not changing who I am
  • I’m just growing, glowing, and going forward
  • Your timing is yours; my worth is mine

To My Future Person

When you’re ready:

  • I’ll still be kind
  • I’ll still be stable
  • I’ll still be caring
  • I’ll still be authentic
  • But I might just be taken by someone who saw my worth earlier

“Being a green flag isn’t a weakness; it’s a choice to be the best version of myself.”

Meanwhile…

I’m out here:

  • Living my best life
  • Building my empire
  • Growing my peace
  • Keeping my standards
  • Not dimming my light

Here’s the fun part about being the “nice guy”:

  • We actually have personalities
  • We can be spontaneous too
  • We just choose peace over drama
  • We pick growth over games
  • We value genuine connection over temporary thrills

In Closing

To the one reading this: If you’re not ready for someone like me now, that’s cool. Just know that:

  • Good men aren’t boring
  • Stability isn’t bland
  • Peace isn’t passive
  • Ready isn’t rigid
  • Green flags aren’t a backup plan

“We’re not the guys you settle for; we’re the ones you level up for.”

Keep doing you — I’ll be over here, continuing to be myself, growing, thriving, and probably building something awesome.

Sincerely, That Green Flag Guy You’ll Notice Later

P.S. Yes, I still remember your coffee order, and no, I won’t wait forever.
