What's the Big Deal About Edward Cullen??

Guys, I'm sure you know who Edward Cullen is. If you haven't already seen the movie, New Moon, from the Twilight series and heard your girlfriend or gal pals swoon over this pale skinned bloke, take note. There is a reason the ladies get all giddy over this vampire, and it lies far beyond his captivating good looks, mysterious charm, book smarts, and incredible body.

Long story short, the movie which is based in the Pacific Northwest captures the lives of Bella and Edward. The two have something of a modern day Shakespearean romance, except there's one problem, Edward is a vampire. So what makes this vampire, Edward so alluring you may ask? Well, let's bring it down to human terms.

For one, Edward picks Bella, and let's her know, "she is THE ONE." Let's pretend as though Edward is an actual HUMAN guy. As stated previously, he's smart, attractive, and has money. In other words, he could probably have his pick of many girls throwing themselves at him, but he chooses Bella. He tells her from the get go that he is very interested and feels a strong connection with her (in an unfreaky way).

Secondly, Edward sacrifices a lot for Bella. If you have seen the movie or read the book, then you know that Edward finds Bella's blood the most tempting of any humans blood he has ever encountered. However, he manages to keep his inner desires at bay in order to be with her.. (aka, he sacrifices his own wants/desires for her. ) In case you haven't realized it, girls love it when their guys sacrifice something for them--willingly. (Key word: Willingly.)

Next, the guy has superb manners. If you have read any of my previous blogs, then you will know that old fashioned chivalry never goes out of style, I don't care where you're from. Edward shows this respect to not only Bella, but the people she cares about the most. He opens her doors, makes sure she makes it home safely, and even makes it a point to be proper to her friends and family members.

Lastly, Edward may be a vampire, but he sure doesn't act like one, meaning he is full of surprises. Surprise your girl, do something out of the ordinary to show that you care. Write her a sappy poem, or even cook her breakfast in bed. It's the unexpected surprises that can really spice up your relationship.

So guys, the next time your girl mentions Edward Cullen, not only let her know that you know who this dude is, but show her. ;)
