Relationship Crap
1) What do you look for in a significant other?
Intelligence. He HAS to be smart, at least as smart as me, so I won’t get bored. Also, he has to be kind of snarky. Sarcastic. He has to keep my own sense of sarcasm under control. I realize, I’m kind of a lot to handle. I tend to lose interest in people reallllyy easily. So if someone can keep me guessing, it’s a good thing. I look for that. We have to have several of the same interests. But he can’t be exactly like me. I don’t like people exactly like me. He has to be creative, and have a brain that can stretch beyond the ordinary. He has to be slightly on the damaged side, or at least have several skeletons that aren’t revealed or discussed right away. Again, a lack of that would make me bored. I get bored easily, it’s sad?
2) 3 major turn-ons?
-Complexity. I can tell, I can sense that. If there’s something there, I know. And it will make me so happy. I’m not really sure I’d be happy otherwise.
-EYES…I don’t know, somehow it always comes down to this. It’s the sparkle, the quirky grin in them, the “HAHA I DARE YOU…” quality. There’s so much in the eyes. If it looks interesting, I’ll want to read it.
- Eccentricity to an extent. I mean. Not a completely mad scientist type, but someone different, non-conventional, ALWAYS wins my attention. I guess it makes sense. People who blend in the background aren’t as interesting as the ones who pop out.
3) 3 major turn-offs?
-Apathy. There is nothing more unattractive to me than an “I don’t care.” I will hit people for that. CARE. NOW.
-Clinginess. Please don’t cry to me. I won’t appreciate that. If a guy is more sensitive than me, I will laugh at them and dump them. It’s the same thing with trying to hold me down. I’m not someone who can be trapped. So I’d appreciate it if no one tried.
-Intimidation- I HATE guys who tell me they’re intimidated by me. IT’S ANNOYING. It’s usually because I’m smarter than them. And that’s ridiculous. I want someone to at least be my equal in a relationship. I like competing. If there’s nothing to compete with, it’s dead. So really, if you can’t keep up, don’t try.
4) What would your ideal significant other look like?
Tall. I’m a short kid, and I like tall guys. I think that’s some sort of complex. So yeah, 5’11 AT LEAST. (I’m 5’1”. Shut up. That’s tall for me.) I like really pretty cheekbones/collar bones. And eyes!. There has to be substance and depth to them. Also, PINKIES. Pretty pinkies like Jonathan Rhys Meyers’.
Also, a leather jacket would be absolutely ideal.
5) Describe your ideal date
Anything awesome. I’m not a pricey date. I want to be surprised. Okay. So IDEAL DATE? He’d rescue me from work/school/home and take me somewhere I’d never been. And then we’d take it from there, ha. No but seriously…as long as it’s new and interesting, I’ll be excited about it. I like exploring new places. So it’s relatively easy to be on an ideal date with me?
6.) EITHER OR
Love or sex?
Love. Because when you’re in love, you’re probably having sex anyway.
HA, SEE WHAT I DID WITH THAT?
…No seriously though, love. It’s more permanent, it’s stronger. You can have sex with anyone. Love comes every five generations or so.
Marriage or no?
I don’t think I’m the type to marry. Or if I am, I’m the type to go to Vegas or Italy or Ireland…something like that…and elope. I don’t want a big wedding, and if I ever decide to settle down with a guy, I won’t have to have a ceremony to tell me I’m committed. So whatever, really. Either.
Looks or brains?
BRAINS. OH PLEASE GOD, THE BRAINS.
I absolutely HATE guys who think they’re pretty and when you talk to them, it’s all “…UHHH…UHHH”
As much as I love Zoolander, a male model would not work for me at all. Unless he was a smart one. In which case, perfect.
Money or personality?
Personality. Money can be gained or lost, you’re stuck with an asshole forever, or at least can be traumatized by him for a long time. I can stick with a poor person, but not someone whose personality I hate to death. That would lead to murder.
Grilled cheese or caviar?
Grilled cheese is what I LIVE on. So yeah, we’re going that.
Your turn!
7) What is your biggest personality flaw?
My biggest personality flaw is my elusiveness. That’s pretty much what sums it up. I will be secretive, I will hide things, I will downright lie, and sometimes it will all be a game. It has cost me a lot in personal life/ friendship/ emotional health in general. Whatever? I like keeping my cards close, and I don’t like a lot of people knowing me. It’s not like it’s impossible to get to know me. If I like someone, I will trust them eventually, and when I trust people, I do open up. It just takes a while.
8) What really good trait could you bring to a relationship?
Once I am with someone, I’ll stick with someone through everything, and I will help them through anything. If I actually care about someone, I will definitely stick anything out. I don’t give up on people easily. I really can’t, seeing as I don’t let enough get to know me to dispose of very easily. The people who are even FRIENDS with me have seen this, I’m sure. I get sort of a hero complex toward certain people. If I have to save them, I will. And I guess that could be either a bad thing or a good one..but I tend to think of it as resilience, and thus good.
9) What are your definitions of “attraction” and “love?”
Attraction can happen every day. It’s the head-turning, slightly gut-wrenching emotion that can send you into fits of stupid grins and crazy day dreams. But it’s not necessarily permanent. It changes, and it goes away.
Love is what happens when you act on attraction, if the right emotional ingredients are there too. It’s ridiculous, it kind drive people crazy, but it can also be a driving force to a life. Complete devotion to an individual. Beautifully destructive, but apparently completely worth it all.
10)What would you consider your main interests or hobbies?
I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR HOBBIES AND INTERESTS!?! No, I’m in college, meaning I study a lot. (Psychology<3!) Also, I read as much as I can. Writing will always be important. I am a therapist to a six year old Autistic kid, and so a great portion of my time consists of playing “Mike the dinosaur and Ike the lamb” with him. It’s…interesting. I like people watching a lot. And wandering strange cities in search for movies. I’m also kind of a canoeing expert. Or…something like that. Also anything involving coffee and cigarettes…including the movie.
