How to Win My Heart Meme...
15 years ago
Felt like doing this one.
1. Let's get the most important and cheesiest thing out of the way first: Humor. I love laughing and while most people just plain say humor as an important trait to avoid being seen as shallow when in fact they do stare at someone's ass, a sense of humor implicates a LOT more traits than just being able to laugh at jokes. Be able to make fun of yourself and show your humility. Laugh at the same time as me and I see you are on similar level regarding intelligence and taste. React hurt at a joke made at your favourite subject's expense and I know you're uptight.
2. Drag me along. I'm lazy. I know it. It's a fault I'm working on but there's more to it than that. I hardly get out of my 'comfort zone' on my own. I always need an impulse to get my ass into movement. Just nag and pull, I'll probably be thankful in the end. (though there's a fine line between dragging along and forcing)
3. Do sports with me. Curiously enough, in this regard I could you drag along rather easily and you shouldn't avoid that. Come skating with me, basketball playing, do some working out with me. It's fun, it's bonding and keeps us in shape for more sports :3
4. Music. There's a proverb in German that says that "bad people don't know any songs". I somehow believe in that. It doesn't necessarily have to be my taste that you have to get along but rather the openess to all kinds of music and most importantly, the willingness to do music yourself. Frankly, if you serenade me, I'd ignore any other point on this list XD
Sing with me, play instruments with me, dance along and I fall... hard... (Girls who play guitar? HAWT).
5. Disagree with me. You don't like how I think? You think I screwed up? You don't like some friends of mine? Tell me, stand up to me, clash with me. Show me that you are my equal. Show me that you can think and be on your own and act upon that. I don't need a mindless drone who says yes to everything I say or follows me along to everywhere I go. Be able to stand on your own, it shows me that you are strong.
6. Geek with me. Gaming, MTG, comics/manga, movies/TV, somewhere you need to have a fixation on one (preferably more) topic for I get crazy and philosophical when it comes to them. I want to have that with you as well.
7. Skin contact. I'm not gonna lie here. Sex is important. It's stupid to think that in a relationship it isn't and admitting it neither makes you shallow nor a slut. All the points above? Things I look for in real friendships just as much as in relationships. A good friendship is just as much worth as a relationship and should be made to last. The criteria that seperates these two is intimacy and it ranks pretty high with me. You can always say that you don't want to go sporting with me or dislike something/someone I like, but avoiding skin contact and sex means that there is something wrong between us on a completely different, more important level. (side note: PDA is a bit much, tho :/)
8. Forgive. I will screw up and hurt you unintentionally just as you will. A relationship is clashing, but as long as there is no malice in an action, forgiveness means patience, acceptence and willingness to pull through. In a relationship you compromise as long as you don't compromise yourself.
Anyone who had the patience reading this far, can ask for a l'il sketch. I'll try to make it look pretty. :D
