Here are the things I want in any man I might have a romantic future with:
(because this seems to come up in conversation a lot now and I always say that you can’t predict who you fall in love with, but…c’mon. Also I really want to watch Crazy, Stupid Love but I don’t have it and so this is what I’m doing instead)
THE SUPERFICIAL THINGS:
Ripped like Ryan Gosling…look at those arms…work outttt
Pipes like Frank Turner
Smile like Heath Ledger (awww)
Eyes. He’s gotta have ‘em or it just won’t work
A vehicle would be nice, bonus points if everything in it functions as it ought to, but really anything would rock
Aaand that’s really it for that.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
I just want a reader. I want somebody who is really, really crazy into books
Intellectualism goes along with that. Somebody who is passionate about their major or whatever and absolutely wouldn’t sacrifice that passion. I want to be able to be challenged intellectually when I’m around them
Speaking of that, I want to be challenged in a lot of ways. I want someone who doesn’t let me get away with giving up and who pushes me to try new things, every day. It’s attractive to meet someone who has the confidence to take risks and will push others to, and it’s also attractive to meet someone who cares enough about you personally to push you, too
Strong love of travel
Good cook, big appreciation for food, ‘cause I freaking love it
Good with kids
Love of camping!! And the ability to save me if I drown
Sense of humor… There are so many indescribable kinds, but we have to get each other with humor
Not A Republican, jesus god
Religious background, because while I’m not religious, my background is and there’s just something about it that’s important to me. Mostly, just not an atheist, because there’s something about that I can’t bring myself to face
Loves my parents (and their own) in a way that at least compares to how much I love them. They’ve gotta get along, because I’m crazy for those guys
Equal maturity, that one’s a given
And finally, it would be really, really great if he could dress classy, most of the time, because that’s the way to my heart. :P :D
