Joshua is a sexy, masculine individual exuding the most desirable of traits. Although Joshua may be timid at first, his genuine and compassionate charm shine through above all things. He can be trusted with any secret and will always pull through even when the going gets tough. His understanding and supportive nature can put anyone at ease as he is never judgmental but rather always willing to listen with an open mind. He is the epitome of a true man.

My boyfriend is an absolute Joshua.

2. (Joshua) (1674↑, 553↓)
A guy who is like a book. You can not judge a book by it's cover, looks can decieve. But not with Joshua, he is attractive but his personality is absolutely stunning and unique. You'll find yourself lost with a Joshua. He treats girls with the upmost respect. Loyal he will be, honesty is the best policy for a Joshua. Truth comes with time as long will trust. A good friend he is, he will be open and be there for you till the very end. He is a friend to keep, and a guy to love. Lieing does not go good with a Joshua. Easily hurt may he be, so watch what you say. And jeaslousy rages through his veins, but love burns and sears through him.

Girl: wow he's such a Joshua Girl 2: i know i am lucky to have him.

4. (Joshua) (1131↑, 385↓)
The most [amazing] guy you will ever meet. He can be sweet and sensitive and overprotective all at once. He fights for what he believes in, and will never back down if he feels that the one he cares for is in danger. He doesn't cuss every other word, in fact he tries not to cuss at all. He may be mistaken for an emo, but really he is just not afraid to share his emotions. He is human unlike what most guys want you to believe. He is a hard worker by nature, but he never has to work very hard to make his girlfriend smile. He loves those people in his heart like there is no tomorrow. He can be spontaneous, but he prefers to ask your preference before doing anything that could possibly be upsetting or taken the wrong way, he is the ultimate man\!

Girl1: Joshua just said the F word\! Girl2: He must be really mad\! Joshua: I love you more\! Joshua's Girlfriend: No, I love you more\! Spectator1: How long have they been at that?\! Spectator2: 45 minutes, but don't worry, Joshua always wins.

Joshua is the man you've always been looking for, before you realized you were looking for anything at all. He will casually walk into your life and have the natural ability to drastically change it for the better. He wears his heart on his sleeve from day one and is astoundingly consistent, committed, passionate, and patient. He loves to converse, but he also appreciates silence. He loves to work with his hands, create things, hike, play music, but he also loves to simply relax. He loves to learn, but he also loves to teach. He is incredibly independent, but he loves the company of friends, family, and loved ones. Joshua is generally an outgoing individual, but he may be shy when approaching someone he is interested in. He has an odd sense of humor, but it is probably normal considering your own quirky humor. He most likely knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. When he tells you he is in love with you, don't take it for granted because love from a Joshua is probably the best love you'll get.

Do you still date Joshua? Duhhhhhh

Dual personality, a man of opposites. Charming with amazing eyes. Unassuming. The king of acting hot and cold. Deserves more in life and love. Makes you fall hard then walks away. Difficult to communicate with and can often behave like a narcissist. Smells good. A great person to his friends and can be caring at times. Needs and wants someone who will love him and care for him as he is. Could have been that person.

You're confusing me, why are you acting like a Joshua?

The most caring, faithful, loving boyfriend known to man. Gives his whole heart to the one he loves and makes them feel like the most beautiful and special person in the world.

Loves watching football games and being with the guys but never over being with his girlfriend. He has amazing eyes and will break your heart when he cries. Very sentimental and emotional.

Joshua is a guy who has a lot more to himself than you think. He isn't shy but isnt really outgoing. He'd much rather be at home, alone, then at school facing all the work and challenge it brings. He goes to school anyways to see his friends, whom he trusts with most of his secrets and untold emotions. He respects those that he feels deserve his respect and when it comes to what he believes in, nothing can change his mind. He is wise, very wise. He gives the best advice and tries his best to understand you. He is the cutest thing you will ever lay your eyes on. His personality is different. He can be mean but can also be the sweetest in the world. He is loyal, trustworthy, kind, caring, loving, honest, and everything good in a person you could find. He has the biggest heart and a brave soul. He is everything a girl could dream of packed into one person. He's also incredibly funny and has real skills when it comes to video games. He is the most amazing person you will ever meet and one you will never forget. He will change your life and change it for the better.

My boyfriend, Joshua, is everything I've ever wanted in a guy and more.

Joshua will listen to what you have to say and can be trusted with any secret. He will always pull through even when the going gets tough. He's been through a lot but still fights for what he believes in and what he loves. He's a great cook and thinks fighting is fun(even if he loses). He's got the cutest smile and perfect teeth. His eyes are the most gorgeous in the whole world and change color. He thinks he can always win an argument with you, but he's really just a little loser and knows it at heart. Any girl could get lost in them. He is a friend to keep, and a guy to love. He's every girls dream boy and is smart, funny, handsome, sexy, adorable, and outgoing. He treats girls with the upmost respect and hates seeing them cry. He can be spontaneous, but he prefers to ask your preference before doing anything that could possibly be upsetting or taken the wrong way. Any girl that is ever told they're loved by him should consider herself the luckiest girl in the world. He is the best any girl could ever get, and if you get with him, he's the best you will ever have.
