What Do You Want

Each one of us has or have had somewhat of a checklist of what they want in a significant other. It can be either an extensive or short list of qualities that a particular person is looking for. A person can be somewhat picky and one can oftentimes set his or her standards high in trying to find that one person who fits some or all the criteria. If you think about it, women more so than men, have that long list of specific qualities that she is looking for. In retrospect, every person should set a high standard in order to find that one person who can, in some way, balance you out. It's that balance that will ultimately lead you to that one person who one has been waiting for.

In some cases looks will always be a constant, when one looks for that diamond in the rough so to speak. A person can sometimes be misguided in what he or she is wanting in a potential relationship. Sometimes, the standards that one has set for one's self can be completely thrown out the window. One can't avoid it no matter how hard he or she tries. For a person's brain can completely shut down when he or she meets that handsome man and/or beautiful woman. It can oftentimes be like High School all over again. In any case someone once said, "A relationship based on superficiality will eventually fade away and what a person will end up with are wrinkles.

In other cases, a person wants something deeper and more meaningful in a potential relationship. Every person has been in a relationship where it didn't feel right and it was all about him or her. We oftentimes have to ask ourselves will that person be able to make me laugh and when I talk to that particular person will time simply fly by? It's just some of the things a person wants to figure out and one of those ways to find out is through his or her friends. It has been said that you can know the personality of a person by the friends that he or she has. In a way, a person's own friends know you better than you know yourself.

However, a person will oftentimes ask themselves what they want more looks or personality, or both. Looks and personality, a deadly combination that is rare to find these days. If you think about it, most people truly know what they want out of potential or significant relationships. Others have no earthly idea and it can constantly change with every new person he or she meets in one's lifetime. Inevitably, a person can ask themselves what they want a hundred times over and still not come up with the right answer. In the long run, a person just has to figure out for themselves who or what will make that person happy.

Over the weekend, my brother and I were talking and he asked me straight up what I wanted in a relationship. I thought about it for several minutes and I came up with this answer. Basically, I want what everybody wants in a potential relationship and that is a person who I can basically click with. Someone who can be comfortable with being herself and doesn't have to put up an act around me. Someone who has a sense of humor and is able to laugh at herself. Someone who will always light up a room when she walks in and puts a smile on my face everytime I see her. In the end, those are the qualities that I want, so, I ask you this, what do you want?
