The Next One

I like making lists. Helps me stagger through plot points, to-dos, and the like.

I don't usually make lists about guys; I date so infrequently there's no point. But over the years, I've realized some things that I require...and some things I won't put up with. And maybe it's okay to have that kind of list. This is something I may return to periodically as I think of new ways to weed out the tadpoles from the geese.

The last one was a pretty good one. The one before that, not so much. The one before that...well, I've got some things to work with, definitely.

So. The next one...
  • Will see me as awesome and not just something to entertain himself with in between globe-trotting.
  • Will think I'm pretty and will tell me so, especially when I dress up.
  • Will like Sonata Arctica, or at least understand my affection for them.
  • Will give a shit about the things that are important to me.
  • Does not need to love my friends, but will be OK hanging out with them every now and then.
  • Will have his own friends.
  • Will be bigger than me for optimum huggability.
  • Will not be prettier than me; that's just unnerving.
  • Will not make me do all the work.
  • Will respond to and display affection appropriately.
  • Will be patient.
  • Will love animals (dated an animal hater; there's something wrong with them).
  • Will recognize what he's got...or not abruptly forget it.
