(yeah, I'm late.)
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
1. Be honest, genuine, and open to possibility. Be direct and willing to say what needs to be said, even if it's a difficult thing to say. Don't be afraid to tell me when I'm pushing your buttons.
2. Never take yourself or life too seriously. Let your inner dork come out to play, make the hilariously awful pun you're thinking of, see the humor in things. Realize that not every discussion in life has to be deep and deadly-serious.
3. Be smart as a whip, and excited about sharing what you do and what you know. I might not love everything you do, but odds are, I'm willing to try it. And, even if I have little-to-no understanding of what you're talking about, it can be pretty darned hot just to listen to someone nerd out about their field of choice.
4. Cook something wonderful for me. Especially when I'm sick.
5. Don't be stingy with physical affection and words of love, but don't give them just because you think they're "expected." I'm not terribly high-maintenance compared to most, but I do like to be reminded every so often that you think I'm special. And one demonstration born of thought beats ten born of expectation or "special" occasion.
6. Be passionate about me, but also be passionate about something that *isn't* me. Give me the space to enjoy the things I'm passionate about, and trust that I'll always make room for you.
7. Be willing to offer help and follow through on giving it, even if I rarely accept it or ask for it. Just letting me know that I can count on you can help get me through a rough patch.
8. Look for balance, both within yourself and between us. Expect that I will hold my own and make the effort to give as much as I get. Remember that we're equals. Give of yourself to me, and accept it wholeheartedly when I give of myself to you.
