My Type

Apr 29, 2007 14:54

I am seriously getting tired to people trying to define their type. I know I have done it. But seriously, it has nothing to do with that. You have all heard stories about your parents or friends who met someone and they just clicked, and they happened to be in two completely different circles. It has come to my attention that when someone says, "they just aren't my type," they really mean that they aren't attracted to that person or they don't want to date them. There may be some traits that contribute to your attraction to a person, but that doesn't put them in with a type. Like confidence, most people are attracted to someone who is confident in themselves. I mean, even people with low self-esteems are more attracted to confidence. Seriously, you need to be comfortable with yourself before you will be comfortable in a relationship. Besides, if you can't be yourself than you are basing a relationship on a lie, and how long will you be able to keep it going. Besides, chances are the person would have liked you better as yourself than as someone else. Yes, everyone wants one type of person, but they might not be who you thrive with.

Basically, this comes to I just don't want to settle. My parents have been married for over 20 years and they still hold hands in the parking lot. This is what I want, I'm not going to settle down, as in marriage, until I find that. And unlike some people (bet you can guess what awkward person I am talking about) I don't think I am going to marry every person I go out with. In fact, I believe I knew within 12 hours of dating said person that I would never get close to marrying him. Go figure. I want my best friend (and that does not mean I want Jason, Lindsay Marie Simpson). I want my soul mate, cause I do believe with all my heart in soul mates. Someone who years down the road will still laugh at our inside jokes. I want what my parents have, I have always wanted that.

However, there is one trait I have decided my soul mate will have. They have to love coffee. It annoyed the hell out of me that every time I wanted to go out for coffee my ex was like, I don't like coffee, so no. Yeah, only coffee lovers for me thank you.
