Because I'm about to fall asleep...I'm going to do this exercise. I may or may not actually do all of it, but it for sure won't be answered everyday (meaning number 2 might be answered anytime between tomorrow to whenever).
Five Ways to Win My Heart
(1) I have to "click" with you.
I don't really know how to explain this, but either I click with you or I don't. This is something I can usually tell when we first meet you or maybe the next time we meet. Sometimes I try to convince myself we'll click later, but that's just because I'm reluctant to let go of (what I consider to be) a good guy.
(2) Make me laugh.
It's really important to me that we have the same sense of humor. I need to be comfortable enough to be goofy around you, because I am the biggest goofball I know. I also wouldn't want to feel the need to hide my sometimes sharp-edged sarcasm. If I feel like I'm holding back or like I have to hold back because I'm afraid to hurt your feelings or I feel like you wouldn't get/appreciate it, it's not going to work.
(3) Say or do something sweet that will put a goofy smile on my face.
I say I hate feeling this way (think: super kilig), but I secretly like it. In fact, I tend to replay that sweet moment over and over in my head and end up with a wide-ass grin on my face each time.
(4) Inspire me.
I'm attracted to people who are passionate about their values, their jobs, activities, whatever. There's nothing more that touches me than an impromptu heartfelt speech. There are times when I feel stuck in my life, and even through one simple, casual conversation, if you can inspire me to do better or go after my goals, you will be that much closer to winning my heart. (Of course I have to ask: Are you sure you want to win my heart? haha)
(5) Stand up to me.
Tell me straight up when you disagree with something I say or do. I know I can be incredibly stubborn and maybe even a little scary when I'm angry, but if you truly feel I'm wrong or not listening, don't just sit there and take my shit. Tell me I'm full of shit and don't back down when I start yelling back.
Ok, I'm awake now. Back to work. Blah.
