Even though my Valentine holiday was filled with adventure romance, I still think it’s important to have a good backup plan. You just never know what can happen, especially when you’re a Pearl. It’s good to be flexible with your list of qualities that you expect your perfect mate to have, and with all the rumors of an apocalypse coming, you may need to consider dating a class you never dreamt of being with: zombies!

Maybe I’ve read too many young adult fantasy books, but I think it’s better to be willing to compromise some of the items on your list—and that includes “being alive.” It’s that or come face to face with a romantic apocalypse! Besides, there are lots of positives when it comes to adventure romance with zombies. I’m sure it will just take a little time to get over the look of rotting flesh and accustomed to the aroma of the undead. Once you get past those elements, the rest is easy.

For starters, you no longer need to be a dazzling conversationalist to keep your date interested. All you’ll need to know are a few key phrases and which grunts mean what. Charm schools will be out of business once zombies get in the mix!

The pressure will be lessened in so many ways when you date a zombie. While the romantic arc of your relationship may not live up to those of your favorite young adult fantasy novels, you’ll be able to focus more on yourself and do what you want to do. No more worrying about stepping on toes when you dance, because chances are, your zombie dream date will have no rhythm at all. Most importantly, no more worries about a romantic apocalypse.

You’ll also be able to ease up on the pressure to stay thin and beautiful for your mate—they won’t really know the difference and don’t have any ground to stand on in the esthetics department. You also won’t have to worry about having nasty breath or bad hair, because theirs is going to be worse than yours a hundred times over. Preparing meals for a zombie will always be a no-brainer—or actually, a brainer, since all they want to eat are brains, brains and more brains.

Best of all, zombies can provide the most essential elements of a perfect adventure romance: they’re reliable, unpredictable and they’re always present. They really can’t think about much so you know their mind will be right there with you, not trailing off on other thoughts—you’ll always have their full blown attention. Plus, they’re great listeners since they rarely interrupt, save for a few grunts here or there.

Dating a zombie sounds better and better every day!
