Koreans usually say "She is my ideal type" in Korean for the best woman you have imagined, but don't you ever say that, except for "my type"?

W: Tell me how you met Julie.
M: Well, I got off at the bus stop.
W: And she was there waiting for the bus,right?
M: Exactly. At first sight, I knew she was my type.
W: Well, that sort of thing can happen to anybody. So what did you do?
M: The bus came and she got on the bus, and so did I.
W: That’s interesting

You could if you really wanted to, but as SoothingDave says, it's not necessary.
