That Someone

While I find it amusing that a guy could muster some strength to call me "honey," it is equally disturbing to hear such being uttered by someone I'm not even remotely attracted to. It's not that I'm choosy or that I set very high standards for a partner. It's just that, I did not reach this age to settle for just anyone who shows up at my doorstep.

Social status is not even in question as long as a guy sets his goals and works hard at achieving them. Looks may seem to be a factor but I've been infatuated with "unconventionally" attractive men in the past. Intelligence is important, but it would be a bonus if he's smart as well. The most important quality for me though is pureness of heart. When someone just overflows with kindness and sincerity, all the inadequacies take a backseat.

I want to meet someone I can truly share my life with, who will stick with me at my best and at my worst, who will love and accept me for who I am. In return, I will be there for him, to love and support him all the days of my life. I want to share his dreams and celebrate with his every victory. In defeat, I will stand by his side and raise up his morale, for that's what being in a relationship is for -- that two people in love should bring out the best in each other.
