My List (an oldie goldie)

I want someone who gives me unconditional love. Someone who supports me through the highs and lows, the good and bad, and the easy and hard times. Someone who has compassion. Someone who will offer me protection when I am scared and comfort when I need it. I need someone who is a good listener and loves to hear me talk. Someone who is a giver and not always a taker. Someone who is respectful of me not only in public, but in private. Someone who doesn’t take advantage of me and my gullibility or the fact that I care deeply about things that matter to me, no matter how big or how small. I want someone who has realistic expectations of me and what I can bring into their life and understands that dreaming big isn’t the same thing as committing to doing something that I may not be capable of. I want some with a lot of sensitivity and who isn’t afraid to show emotion and accepts that I am and I do. Someone who is understanding. Someone who, even though I may claim otherwise, is romantic, because I am a woman and sometimes we can not put into words what we really need and possibly even want things we never realized we missed out on. I need someone who is thoughtful. I need someone who likes to have a lot of fun and is willing to do things with me that they may not want to because it is what I need at the time. I need someone who is humorous and makes me laugh all the time and almost never cry. I want someone who is family oriented and cherishes not only my family, but their own family and wants children. I want someone who is kind to animals, all animals, but especially my animals and respects my wishes where they are concerned. Someone who believes in me and my dreams, even if that’s all they are. I need someone who puts me first and if I need them to be there for me or with me, they just know it without me having to ask. Someone who realizes what is truly important in life. Someone who tells me I’m beautiful even when I know I’m not and more importantly thinks I am. Someone who loves my inner beauty more than my outer beauty. Someone who respects and admires my mind. Someone who picks me up when I have fallen or are down. I need someone who knows what I need whether it’s just to listen or telling me what I need to hear. Someone who does little things so I know they are thinking of me. Someone who pays attention and remembers everything I say, even the insignificant things.
