So most girls are gushy and cute and make romantic gifts for their boyfriends. I'm sorry, I don't do that. I try so hard to but it's just not something I'm good at. I'm not cheesy or adorable. I Pinterest that sh*t and I never end up doing any of it. It's not like my past boyfriends didn't deserve to have cute gifts, I just suck.
As a background, my dad was my best friend and used to make fun of cheesy romantic things and he never did anything romantic for my mom in front of me so I guess I've just always thought it was acceptable. (Once he got her roses for Valentine's Day but had to include a sympathy card saying 'Thanks for putting up with me.') Although I could put in the extra work and change my ways, I won't because that would give someone a false impression of who I am in a relationship. I fill the role of best friend, professional cuddle buddy, and confidant; I'm not the girl who attempts to sweep you off of your feet (unless sarcasm and funny faces really get ya). I have lots of beautiful things to say but when it comes to grand gestures, I fall short. I'll cook for you and give you thoughtful gifts forChristmas and your birthday but, most of the time, I don't do things 'just because'.
I have my moments of being romantic, but there's usually something funny involved and I don't expect those things from you. Please don't take this as me being unhappy or ungrateful, I truly love when guys do romantic and beautiful things for me, even the little things. I just don't know how to react because I'm not used to it and it comes off that way. If that's who you are, I will try not to make you feel that way and you can feel free to shower me with affection (LOL). If you aren't romantic, that works for me, so don't feel bad, I don't.
That being said, I am not a future house-wife; I am independent as f*ck and you better accept it. I want someone who puts me on a pedestal but still knows how to put me in my place. I know I can get out of hand. I want to pay for myself, or both of us, sometimes. I want to have personal space and time alone. You're high up there, but you are not my top priority. My education, future, and family (including my sorority most of the time, sorry), come way before you do. I have baggage and you have to be strong enough to deal with it and I'll always be there for you when you need me.
Now that you know a little piece of my personality, I'm not romantic and I'm not sorry about it. Rant over.
