Following in the tradition of Depeche Mode‘s “Somebody“, this is what I want:
1. Honesty.
2. Loyalty.
3. Respect: I am who I am and I don´t want that changed. Surely, one can do things for the person one loves, but in essence, if you dislike my having feelings, or my crying when something hurts me or saddens me, or the way I laugh about everything, or my intellect, or my sense of humour, or my sensitivity, or my honesty, or my caring about other people, just don´t bother.
4. Freedom. This goes hand in hand with the previous point. As in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre: I am no bird, and no net ensnares me. I am independent, lonely and individual and I want nobody tresspassing on that. For me, to love someone entails letting them fly. Love is watching them fly. Love is sometimes flying together. Love is being waited for while you venture alone.But not alone, for love is in your heart and you know that he who loves you is supporting you from afar.
5. Someone who knows how to love, who knows how to be loved and who wants to be loved.
6. Someone who will fight for the relationship and will do everything to make it work and will not just throw hiw arms up.
7. Faithfulness. No need to say anything else.
8. Hardworking and work ethics. First universal truth: work cannot and should not be everything in a person’s life. However, to my eyes, a respect for one’s work is a true mark of professionalism and honesty that cannot be replaced by anything. And, if anything, the kind of example I would like my childern to learn.
9.Intelligence. But not solely or, more than, academic. In fact I’ve met people who are brilliant in their field but treat people like rubbish.
10. Tenderness.
11. Someone who’ll listen to me and who will want to talk, too.
12. Someone funny. For me, this is definitive proof of a higher intelligence and soul.
13. Cleanliness and orderliness.
14. Someone strong and brave, with dreams and ambitions.
15. Someone to go to sleep and wake up with, look after, kiss and caress.
16. Someone to share life with and grow up together.
17. Have I said BRAVE???
18. Someone who is able to acknowledge when he’s wrong and that can forgive when I am.
19. Someone I feel attracted to and who is attracted to me.
20. Someone who does not tolerate violence, verbal, or otherwise, towards other people or animals.
21. Someone I can count on.
22. Someone who will not expect me to read his mind.
23. Someone who will do anything to be with me.
24, Someone who will want to build a life together and walk hand in hand.
