My friends, and even some dudes, have asked me what I'm looking for in a guy. If you find these qualities rolled into one person, gals, please send him my way:
1. Someone who makes me laugh.
It takes a lot to make me laugh. It's usually a combination of smarts and silliness that does it, something to piggyback my own wit. So if he manages to make me throw my head back, he's gotta be a keeper!
2. Who is intelligent.
I consider myself to be smart but not well-rounded. If there is a man out there who doesn't make me feel stupid because I don't completely understand what is happening in Russia or Nigeria and is willing to explain it to me, I need him.
3. Who won't give me the silent treatment.
My dad does it to my mom. I did it to my ex. I'm over it. I cannot stand being in the same room with a person I have chosen to spend time with and not say a word to them. What's the point of being with someone if we're not going to maximize our time together? We need to talk it out, learn from it, and move on together.
4. Who won't let me go to sleep mad.
This one goes with point number three. Except the consequences are far worse. If I'm upset and I don't talk it out before I fall asleep, I will literally drive myself crazy. I will imagine the conversation I was supposed to have with the other person all night. I will rewind and play the things I wish I would have said until I fall asleep one hour before my alarm wakes me up to go to work. That's when the effects will be notably visible, on my face and in my behavior towards the other person.
5. Who wraps his arms around me as we fall asleep.
The connection that stems from being as physically close as two bodies possibly can, the heat, the skin-on-skin contact... priceless. I won't be hurt if we stick to our sides of the bed after that for the rest of the night.
6. Holds my hand.
To me, this means that he's not embarrassed to be seen with me and perhaps wants to show me off a little. If he walks slightly ahead of me, I also feel protected.
7. Gives me forehead kisses.
These are sweeter, non-sexual smooches than those on the lips or anywhere else, for that matter. They translate the affection rooted deep down at the "best friend" level where true caring for the other person developed.
I love hiking, the smell of the forest, and the warmth of the sun on my body. And even though I don't do this a lot, I like TV marathons, but they would be much nicer and more frequent if I had someone to cuddle with.
9. Who is just a pinch of macho.
Complete turn on if he pulls me in hard for a kiss. Sue me.
10. Who is a little bit jealous.
My wish is to catch him staring down dudes who are checking me out. I would totally melt inside.
Bonus: Has a big penis.
Kidding. If he meets the criteria above, we'll find a way to make it work ;) :p
Exception: If he happens to look like Channing Tatum, there's no need to check off this list. Just give him my cell, classroom number, or address immediately.
Thanks so much in advance :)
