1. kindness: I’ll tell you something about myself. I can get my head turned by a good-looking guy as much as the next girl. But sexy doesn’t impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me, but most of all, I’m impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration.
2. music: whether it be a passion for music, the same taste in music, music appreciation, or just having it be a portion of their life. I can’t fully fall for you if you haven’t fallen for music. It’s too much a part of my own life.
3. small gestures: I would rather receive a single flower on a random day because you were thinking of me than a diamond necklace on my birthday because you have to make a big deal out of things.
4. acceptance: of others, of flaws, of life. I don’t want someone who always complains about how something uncontrollable is, or who complains about people all the time. there’s no need to control every single little aspect around you, just let life come at you as it may and control your own reactions to it.
5. being open minded and willing to have meaningful conversations
