Eight things I love about you.

List 8 traits about your perfect partner, in no particular order.

1) Intelligent. I need someone I can really talk to, someone I can expect a thoughtful answer from in return. I need someone who knows how to fix things. I need someone who frequents libraries (and not just because of my kinky fantasies). Brilliance turns me on.

2) Attractive. To ME. (Anybody who says basic animal attraction doesn't matter is selling something.) If there's no lust on my part, there's no point to the relationship because I'm just going to get bored. I have fairly quirky tastes regarding men, so no worries. You don't have to look like a porn star. In fact, I prefer that you don't. Except perhaps in one regard. (Just kidding!)

3) Confident. Not arrogant. Not full of yourself. Not certain that you are amazing. In fact, I like a little vulnerability, a little doubt, because I enjoy lavishing ego boosts on my lover and I'd hate for his head to explode. I just ask that you're confident enough to be yourself, and let me be myself. And to let me see you naked.

4) Adoring. I crave affection. I want love and attention, I want you to make me feel special even in public, I want praise and flattery (so long as you mean it), I want you to look at me like I'm the only person in the world. Believe me, you'll get plenty of the same in return.

5) Humorous. Gentle teasing, inside jokes, and playful banter a must.

6) Passionate. About SOMEthing. It'll make you all the more interesting. And, of course, passionate about me. I want to be ravished. I want to be touched, everywhere, any time. I want your gaze to burn me up. I want your voice to send shivers down my spine. I want you to want me. I want to turn you on--and I need you to tell me that I do. I want evidence. I want enthusiasm. I want experimentation. I want you to desire me so much you can barely stand it. I want you to want to please me. Follow through. Get me to be vocal. If it's not too much trouble, make some noise of your own.

7) Honest. Just..don't lie to me. Win my trust and deserve to keep it. Trust me in return.

8) Sweet. Be gentle, be patient, be understanding. Take care of me. Treat me nicely. All I really want is unconditional love on your part. It's really not that much to ask.
