I have done some soul searching about what I really want in a guy. I thought I had it, but once again I was dissapointed and left heartbroken. Some of the things I want are not that earth-shattering, but are important none the less:
1. I want to be loved. Not just as a means to an end, for a little while, or until something better comes along. I want some one to love me for me, to stand by me no matter what, and to love me even when things are hard, not just when they are easy.
2. College educated. I have nothing against guys who have not attended college, but I want some one on the same intellectual level as me. I don't want to feel as though I am talking down to him or over his head.
3. I want respect. I do not want to be treated as though I do not have an mind of my own. I refuse to be talked down to.
4. Honesty. I know this one is a longshot. I want a man that is willing to be honest about his feeling on everything. I want him to be honest enough not to brush things under the rug and pretend that everything is fine, until that point where he breaks and cheats, then leaves.
5. A man that will talk! I don't want to have to suffer through trying to have a conversation and recieving only grunts and snorts in return.
6. I want to be treated as an equal, but a special equal. I want to be part of any decisions that need to be made, but I also want be treated like something special. If you are special enough for me to want to be part of your life, then treat me like that special part of yours.
7. I want my feelings to be regarded. No matter how silly they may seem to a guy, I want my feelings taken into consideration.
