Now being the single girl that I am, I find myself wondering what I will be looking for next time I find a man to date. And for English class several weeks ago I had to write an essay on "The perfect spouse" which I thought was really stupid! We had to either narrow our feelings down to one major one and then the three smaller reasons why, or had to write briefly on the three different reasons why. Who can sum up what attributes you want the person you will share your life with in a couple paragraphs? I know that I could have bull shit that entire paper, and that it means nothing in reality, but it has gotten me thinking. What do I want in my next relationship?

I want someone who will keep my feet warm when sitting on the couch at night while watching a romantic movie.

I want someone who just smiles when he passes me in the hallway.

I want someone who kisses my forehead in stead of sticking his tongue down my throat.

I want someone who holds my hand.

I want someone who sends me notes just to say "Hi!"

I want a guy who doesn't mind when I want to go out with my friends.

I want someone who takes me to see a movie he wouldn't see with his friends.

I want a guy who knows what to order for me at Burger Kind or Perkins.

I want a guy who knows how to make a decision.

I want a guy who isn't in the relationship just for the sex…

If there isn't any sex I want him to be totally okay with it!

Most of all, I want a guy who can love me, even if he doesn't live up to a standard :).
