I know it's cliché saying, "I want this, I want that" in a relationship, but there are some things that I know are important to me now. I know there's no such thing as a perfect match, or a perfect relationship. When I was younger I'd even make a list of qualities and attributes I wanted my boyfriend to have. Really, though, I feel like when I meet the right one they could be as close or as far from what I pictured being my guy, and it doesn't matter. What really matters are the qualities of the relationship. These are the three things most important to me in my next relationship.
I want someone who is my best friend.
I don't want just my romantic date for nights out or someone who knows me as a put-together beautiful woman. I want someone who's my partner in crime, who makes me feel better talking to them, even if it's something embarrassing or really gross. Someone who is a handsome wedding date, a competitive tennis opponent, pal to play video games or watch movies and eat pizza with, and someone I can stay up till 2 a.m. with talking about anything in the world.
I want someone who I can trust to be there and make me a priority.
Trust is a must. I want to be able to trust someone enough that I can let them go off with friends or to meet pretty girls and know they'll always want me more than anyone else because of what we have. I don't need to be first on the list, but I need to be near the top. Running emergency errands for me, trying to help me feel better even when I say I wanna be left alone, doing things when I ask them and giving a true effort in our relationship are things I expect him to do, because I know I plan to for him. I'd also like to be surprised every now and then with a gift or something sweet and affectionate like a passionate kiss. It shows me he's thinking of me even when we're not together.
I want to feel things like I've never felt before.
Smiling for no apparent reason, blushing when someone asks about us, and having laugh out loud stories are what I want to experience regularly. Feeling like they're the first person you want to see after you get the best news or the worst. Being so happy you're terrified you won't be ever again if something happens. I want to be with someone who makes me feel happy, safe, excited, scared, crazy in love, beautiful, confident, strong and special.
