Day 3: Desirability A.K.A Pancakes

Attraction masquerades in many different forms, from subtle seduction to animal magnetism to charismatic charm. You may be instinctively drawn to people with freckled noses, shaggy bangs, or deep, piercing blue eyes, but we must never forget that attraction is much more than just the concrete physical attributes that a person beholds. Allure encompasses not only looks, but personality, human nature, and stage presence. I don't have a certain "type" of guy that I exclusively limit myself to, like most of the girls I know (not Dizzy), but I am very, very, probably overly particular in the genre of men I date. Yes, there is a difference.

My List of 10 Qualities, Not Requirements, I Wish My Guy Would Possess

1. Make and flip extraordinarily delicious pancakes, preferably in the shape of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, or any other fictional Disney character. Waffles do not count.

2. Brings tears to my eyes and laughter to my heart.

3. Is not perfect, in any way, shape, or form. I want to have speed bumps and challenges and problems, so we are reminded that we are still human.

4. Buys me cards with beautiful artwork on them and hand writes special messages or poems on the inside, no matter if he believes he has horrible handwriting or not. These gifts would be bestowed for no special occasion: just because.

5. Knows that I love children's books better than regular, adult books, because just like Alice in Wonderland, I do not see the point of books without pictures. He would buy me books such as that, and the spend an entire rainy afternoon curled up in his bed with me, reading them out loud.

6. Stops me mid-sentence for a kiss. Something about that just says to me, "I want you so badly and I just can't wait for the words to leave your lips before they meet mine."

7. Writes me love notes and hides them in my locker. Whenever I open it, those little pieces of paper fall to the ground and I know he is thinking of me.

8. Laughs at all of my jokes, even the ridiculous, absurd, not even remotely funny ones, because he knows I love the sound of his laughter.

9. Understands my past, lives in the present, and knows our future. He would love me for all that I was before I met him, all that I am as of today, and all that I am destined to be.

10. Tells me I'm beautiful, inside and out, in any light, with or without makeup, dressed up or wearing absolutely nothing. He believes it. And he will not stop telling me until I believe it.
