I once had a list like this; then I married Josh who happened to be not much of the above. Love is a funny thing like that, you learn to forgive a lot of faults.
ReplyDeleteAll the same, its a list every single woman should have, at the very least in her head. You never want to be that woman that's dating a guy just because he asked.
You are totally right. Love is a funny thing. I always make a new list after a break-up. I don't always get everything I list when I start dating a new guy, but it's totally a starting point.
ReplyDeleteGood list. Yep. :)
