And We Will Never Fall

WHAT I WANT/LOOK FOR IN A GUY

in no particular order...

• Self-awareness - He has to know who he is and what he stands for.  He must be willing to stand up for himself.
• Confidence - There is a HUGE line between confidence and cockiness.  I abhor cockiness.  It is one of the biggest turn-offs.  However, he should be content with who he is and how God made him.
• Christ-like - I want a man that is in love with the Lord.  I don't mind being 2nd to God in anyone's life.  I would rather him spend 30 minutes in a quiet time with the Lord than spend 30 minutes doing anything for me.  He should strive to honor God with his life and give everything to the glory of Him.
• Intelligence - There are many folds to intelligence.  I would love to have meaningful conversations about anything in life, from religion to politics.  I want to go deep and grow together.  I don't want something he believes to be forced on me, but I want to know how he feels and learn.  That's the key.  I want us to learn from each other.
• Appearance - He doesn't have to be hot, in fact I hate that word.  If I like him I'm gonna think he's cute and that's all I need.  Really the personality shines through and he'll become better looking to be everyday.  Of course, physical features are what normally catch the eye first, but oftentimes the really good looking ones know they're good looking and that's never a good thing. Just smile and look me in the eye.
• Sense of Humor - I need someone who can make me laugh when I don't want to smile.  He should also be able to laugh at himself and just have a good time in general.
• Trustworthy - I want someone who I can share everything with, the good and the bad. I should be able to trust him with my life.  I want someone who loves me for me.
• Respectable - I want someone well mannered and kind.  He should be able to meet my parents comfortably.  He shouldn't call them Mom and Dad.  Ma'am and Sir are always pluses.
• Gentleman - He should hold the door, but he doesn't always have to.  He should treat me like a lady if he wants to be treated like a man.
• Music - Music is a huge part of my life, and if he doesn't appreciate it then I think we'll have a problem.  He doesn't have to play an instrument or sing, but he has to be able to tolerate my breaking out in song at random times.
• Sensitivity - My guy shouldn't be afraid to cry, and should hold me when I do.
• Athletics - An athletic guy is always a plus.  At the least he should watch sports or be willing to work out with me once in a while.  Just be active.  He should understand my obsession with track and field.
• Willingness - He should being willing to try new things, whether food or music or ballroom dance.  I just want him to be open to trying something out.  He doesn't have to end up liking it.
• Morals - Some things are just wrong.  Know what they are and be open about what you believe.  I guess I have high standards.
• HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADMIT THAT HE'S WRONG
• Openness - He should always be willing to share how he feels and what's going on in his life. This involves honesty. A relationship wont work without communication.  I know I can be bad about holding things in, but if it's love, everything should be open.
• oh...smelling good is never a bad thing ;)
