- People who are able to hold a conversation, mature enough to handle criticism, honest enough to tell me the truth without hours of pointless fluff to pacify their guilt.
- Someone who is intelligent enough to realize the difference between love, lust, friendship and wishful thinking.
- People who aren't such cowards that they have to resort to the crutch of friendship when rejecting someone.
People who aren't afraid to confront their insecurities and weaknesses.
- A woman who won't stab me in the back and manipulate my emotions with guilt trips, withdrawal, and endless sulking.
- A woman who is patient and empathetic enough to help me develop the tools necessary to harbor a long-lasting relationship.
The last time I checked, few with these qualities exist. Many are shallow (and I don't mean the hand full of people I've known, who don't fit this description. If you're finding yourself wondering whether or not you're one of these people, chances are that you aren't).
