I'm young and still all of life ahead of me however, I'd like to think I have a pretty good idea of what I want and don't want. I still have much growing up to do, but for the most part I'd say I know myself well and I know my self worth. I know what I do and don't deserve & I know the difference between right and wrong. I know what I'm attracted to and I know what kinds of people I work with best. Now, I'd say I'm pretty easy going and get along well with most but when it comes to a significant other there are some specifics I prefer. Dear future husband, there's just a few traits in mind that I hope you have.

1. Is a man of his word

Honesty is always the best quality for me. Unless you're planning to surprise me, I will always want the truth. For our relationship to thrive & reach its full potential it has to be built on truth and trust. Without those two things, it can be very difficult for couples to have a stable foundation to build from. I never want to feel like I need to go through your phone, social media accounts or just overall feel like things are hidden from me. All things in the dark eventually come to light.

2. Values his relationships with God

My faith has always been a priority in life. God the father has and always will be my number one role model and the one who has delivered me. His love is an unconditional love that cannot be fit into words. With that being said, I need want someone to love God more than he loves me and values his relationship with God more than ours. If our relationship is rooted in Christ then nothing can come in between. Gods love is to me is the definition of love therefore, it should transfer over to my humanly relations.

3. Knows his self worth

I want you to love yourself completely. If you cannot love yourself for who you are then it might be a little difficult to love and value someone else. I want you to know what you need and what you deserve that way together our love is give & take, not give or take. God loves you for you despite your flaws, so you should do the same.

4. Father like qualities

If I am to marry you, then I kind of need to be able to see you being the father of my children. Some may disagree but I truly believe that fathers make all the difference in a child's life. I want my husband to be someone my children can look up to, learn from and see as their hero.

5. Athletic

Now I'm not asking you to be an Olympic gold medalist, but athleticism is definitely important to me. I'm an athlete and hope to spend a long time competing. I need someone who is about hard work and promotes healthy lifestyle. (Actually I only care about my gene pool. I need my kids to be athletes too)

6. Leads me towards God

As stated earlier, faith is everything to me. I need someone who is willing to put aside pleasure and push me towards righteousness. I need someone who will know the difference between humanly wants and what my soul needs. I need someone who is looking to push me towards heaven and wants whats best for me which leads me to my next point...

7. My motivator

I want us to push each other to reach our full potential. I want us to go after what we want and try to become the best versions of ourselves. I want you to pick me up when I'm down and show me the light at the end of the tunnel. I want to know that when I am feeling lesser than, that I can count on you.

8. Has a sense of humor

I grew up in a family of sarcasm so sensitivity won't work around me. We make jokes, we make fun of each other and we just have a great time together. If you can make me laugh then you're bound to stick around.

9. Can deal with my hormonal attitudes and mood swings

Periods hit me hard. I mean really, really hard. The morning after a tough tournament I started my period. My aunt brought out these new born puppies and I absolutely lost it. Tears running down my face because I could not handle the cuteness. That is one of the many examples of my hormonal outrages. If you can handle that, I think you'll do just fine.

10. Acknowledges imperfections

We are human and we are flawed. If you can acknowledge your imperfections and are constantly working to better yourself, we will work well together.

11. Family oriented

I come from a huge filipino family therefore, you kind of have to be family oriented. I have 3 younger siblings and tons of younger cousins who might as well be siblings. Family is everything to me so if you can fit in with that, you're a keeper.

12. Educated

I need educated conversation and someone to keep me on my toes. I like a challenge and I love learning something new everyday. I want to learn from you and for you to be able to learn from me. With a sense of humor and an education, conversation can never get boring.

13. Good hygiene

I mean do I even have to explain this one...

14. Supports my starbucks addiction

Alright I admit it... I have an addiction to starbucks. BUT, it never gets in the way of athletics and really is just my guilty pleasure. I don't see it ending any time soon so take it or leave it.

15. Give me lots of compliments

I'm kidding....not really. I mean honestly, every girl likes to be reminded that we're beautiful. I'm not asking you to get down on your knees and worship me (unless you want to) but an occasional compliment and appreciation would be nice.

16. Feeds me on a daily

I'm an athlete and I get hungry....a lot. I am never myself when I'm hungry but I don't like snickers. Pretty much, if you want all to go well make sure I'm fed.

17. Good in bed....

And by that I mean makes the bed every morning and never takes up more than a quarter of the bed during sleep. Don't move. Don't breathe. Don't snore. Don't be warm bodied. Basically, don't do anything that might ruin my sleep.

18. Knows how to communicate

For relationships to work, two have to be able to communicate. We need to be able to work through our problems and work to better our relationship. I don't believe in divorce, so if we are married then i'll go through hell and back before I sign divorce papers. Sometimes talking about our problems can be uncomfortable, but it is so necessary.

19. Chef Curry with the pot

Refer back to number 16.

20. Love me

At the end of the day, I just need a big hug and for you to tell me you love me. Someone who loves me for my crazy weird self and is committed to making the most out of life together.

(My No. 1 and only prospect at future husband. Thank you for being the kind hearted, loving and amazing person you are. Clearly this article was inspired by you).
