Day 150: Are You Ready For It? Meet My Mr. Right.

You want to hear something funny? I almost always end up being attracted to someone I never initially liked nor was attracted to when I first met them. The ones that last I mean.

The attractor factor usually changes though when they do something unexpected that shows genuine care. Sometimes it’s even a helping hand when I need it or a hand on the shoulder in tough times…because it shows that they are dependable, reliable, and more importantly there for me. But surprisingly, it is not even about the task. People typically don’t remember what you do; they remember how they feel when you do it.

It’s true. People don’t care what you know until they know that you care, and I for one am like that in relationships. I take notice of actions and the little things. It is how they make me feel when I am around them, and when that happens they look like the shiniest gem on the earth; something I truly treasure. And when I am in…I am all in. For me it’s about personality, consideration of others, someone I count on to be there, and a genuine kindness. It is about the person and who they truly are. That’s what gets noticed. It really is about the little things.

Despite popular belief, it is not the big things but the little things that matter. It is the little things that add up, and when you pay attention to them the payoff is big. It’s about the dandelion you pick for me on our walk because I told you once that they remind me of the sun and I like them; not the fast ride you drive. It is about cooking with me in the kitchen and sharing the experience together; not the house we cook it in. It is about sharing with me your passion and yours dreams and the kind of day you’ve had at work; not the kind of job you have. Someone who understands that it is not even what you are doing; it is that you are doing it together.

And last, but certainly not least, when choosing my Mr. Right I am looking for someone who sees me like it’s the first time…every time. Someone who sees me as I am and tells me…"I've been waiting for a girl like you..."
