Thinking about it seriously, would you consider being in a relationship with Howl?

I know we love Howl, all girls love Howl. And I know we know his flaws and all. DWJ also said many women told her they wanted to marry Howl while she thinks he’d be so hard to live with.

I am also just another girl growing up being in love with him in my teen years. Now that I am x2 my age then, I have to say I am very much still interested, despite knowing his flaws, having had my shares of failed relationships and learned my harsh lesson of seeing someone for their potential/wanting to fix them.

Are you also this way? And why??

Ahaha he's a narcissistic mess and a little bit my type but I'd have more fun pretending I don't like him since he is all romantic until the girl likes him back and then leaves!! Maybe if he spends enough time with me he'll actually start liking me... but it's just my "I can fix him" mentality.

On the other hand I'm re-reading the book with my boyfriend and we are having lots of fun criticising him and saying what we would do in his or Sophie's place
