It’s fine to look back on old
relationships and find the humor
in your obvious poor choices [1],
but if you’re not learning lessons,
you’re not doing your next
relationship any favors. No one’s
reading (or writing!) this post
because they want to be single
forever—can I get an “Amen”?
I was asked recently to write a
list of what I really wanted out of
a partner. When I read it, I
realized I was staying in
relationships to, well, stay in
relationships. And then I was
single. Not throw-your-hands-up-
and-celebrate-Beyonce-style
single. More like oh-shit-I’m-
single? single.
So here’s my list. I can assure you
that any girl who’s ready to be in
a relationship has a similarly
honest one. And, if you’re being
honest, fellas, you don’t have 10
checkmarks here. I know some
of you are rolling your eyes, but
use it as a friendly refresher, a
reminder that simple and honest
is a good thing.
What Every Girl (OK, this Girl)
Wants …
1. Someone who shows an
interest in my life, who I am, and
how I became that person
Ask questions! Show an interest!
Don’t you really want to know
who you are with? And if you
are really interested in that
person, you would want to know
all of this information. [2]
2. Acknowledgement of special
occasions
True: I’m the girl who says she
doesn’t want anything for
Valentine’s Day, and secretly
does. [3] But I’m not looking for
a cheap box of candies; I’m
looking for a thoughtful gesture.
Because even though I’m not
asking for anything, I’m still
looking for proof that you care.
[4]
3. Appreciation on ordinary
days
Did she make you a cake?
Dinner? Do your laundry? Make
you smile? Watch your favorite
TV show with you? Tell her—a
simple and sincere “thank you”
will suffice.
4. Someone who likes my
imperfections and embraces his
own
No one is perfect. Accept it. If you
don’t close a cabinet door, or you
leave the toothpaste out, or you
have a weird freckle on your left
knee, those aren’t deal breakers.
Don’t get too picky, because
someone could point out your
imperfections just as easily. [5]
5. Someone who is excited to
see me and proud to be with me
Introduce her to your friends
(when you are ready, of course!)
and always let her know that you
are happy to see her.
6. Someone who is already on
their own path (not living in their
parent’s basement)
I get it! Sometimes, especially in
this economy, we have to
compromise regarding our living
situations. But honestly, if you
aren’t on a road to independent
living, grown-up style, that is a
problem.
7. Someone who wants a
commitment and marriage
If you have commitment issues
or are just looking for simple,
unattached companionship,
make it known early and often.
8. Someone who compliments
me and accepts my compliments
Be confident enough in yourself
to welcome compliments, and
confident enough to give them.
9. Someone who gives as much
to me as I give to them
It is exhausting doing all of the
work. Just sayin’.
10. Someone who likes simple
things—like taking the dog on a
walk after work
Ordinary things are just plain
awesome sometimes. Spending
20 minutes to walk with your
lady and her dog (or just your
lady) says more than you realize.
I think guys sometimes
overthink what we really want.
Now, if you have the qualities on
this list, have pride in yourself (as
in: you brush your teeth, bathe
[6], take care of yourself), you
have a good chance of landing
the girl you are after. I am not
going to lie. Yes, there are
superficial things that MAY or
MAY NOT be added bonuses
(you’re a millionaire who closes
cabinet doors and satisfies me
sexually EVERY time), but let’s get
real here, people, you can’t be
satisfied EVERY time. And some
things are more problematic, or
funnier, than others .
Expect and give these basics and
you’ll have a more fulfilling
relationship. If you find a girl
that’s after much more than this,
or find that your list is too
complicated and detailed, you’re
not going to find that long-
lasting relationship you’re after.
