Chandel by Australia8 April 16, 2011
A guy who has a shy, yet charming personality. Chaniel is someone who you can trust 100% with your life. They are the most truthful and kind person you'll ever meet. At times their honesty can be brutal, but they never intend to inflict any pain on to others. Chaniel is the type of guy to check up on you if you're going through a messy breakup. He's the type of guy to shower you in compliments to make sure you never think you're ugly again. They think very low of themselves when they are honestly perfect. Chaniel's dont just have amazing personalities, they are the cutest guys you'll ever see. Chaniel's have that cute "I must protect you with every fiber in my body" kind of look. Every Chaniel deserves the world. They are the person who pushes you to strive to be the very best you can be. They offer very good emotional comfort and are the perfect best friend/lover/sibling you could ever have.
