I don't want to be that girl. I don't want to be the girl that can be persuaded, that can be molded. Back home I was considered strong, confident, a person who knew what they wanted out of life. The minute I came to Tallahassee everyone told me I was a bitch, I was too "in your face" as if there's something wrong with that. Why did I change? Why have I become introverted again? I am not a pushover. I am not shy. I know what I want out of life, out of the opposite sex. I am picky, and I don't settle. So what's changed? It's like I looked at myself and I hated what I saw. Why have I let peer pressure get the best of me? Why do I let anything interfere with what I want?
I'm listing what I want in a boyfriend, and I'm not settling. Why did I think for even a second that I deserved less?
1. Clean shaven, smells good, preppy style.
I don't care if you're a man, take some pride in your appearance! Name brands aren't important, but taking care of yourself is.
2. Maturity, goals, guidance.
I want to date someone who has similar goals. How can you not understand when I want to study? How can you sit on the couch all day and do nothing with your life? Don't you want to be somebody?
3. LISTENING SKILLS.
Do you hear me, I mean really hear me? What are you thinking about when I'm talking? I want to engage in conversation, I want more than sex.
4. Don't push me.
I have reasons why I am the way I am-why I'm stubborn and jealous and overly cautious. Don't push me to tell you about the skeletons in my closet. Don't push me to do anything I'm not ready for. I will come to you.
5. Don't treat me like I'm one of the guys.
I'm not one of those girls that can belch louder than you and wants to watch disgusting movies with you. I may not wear pearls and cross my legs when I sit down but I'm still a LADY. I don't expect you to hold the door for me or get me water when I cough, but at least treat me like an equal.
