My best friends also happen to be my family members. I get along with everyone in my family and I like it that way. I have about 4 friends I'm not related to, and that works out just fine for me also.
I'd like to meet a guy who can tell where the line between self-confidence and narcissism lies, and when to step off it. I want to be part of something that is considerably greater than the sum of its parts. I want to be in a relationship that builds and produces. Not kids, necessarily, just something - hats, scarves, meals to homeless people.. anything. I want to build my partner up to do whatever he wants, because in turn I will be built up to thrive. That's what a relationship has always meant to me, and that's what I've always been told to aim for.
I want to meet a man in whose arms I would find the safest and most forgiving place in the world, where nothing would hurt me, nothing bad would happen, and I could always find understanding and compassion.
The sad part about all this is, what I just described, is what's considered "quirky" nowadays.
I'm a Latino, Non-Denonminational, Hillary Clinton supporting, pot-smoking fag.... and even I understand family values.
Speaking of family, my next better half will actually have to be a part of the family. The whole enchilada.. the screaming kids, the screaming adults, the carne asada (yum) the birthday parties in the backyard with a lot of the aforementioned screaming individuals, and lots and lots of Mexicans everywhere, etc. You're gonna have to be there for graduations and bar mitzvahs (if we were Jewish) and the family dinners and the... you get the idea.
I'm ready to meet someone who's ready to meet someone who is ready to quit fucking around.
I also refuse to date people who incessantly point to their character flaws as a product of being a Zodiac sign. These are the same people who refer to their tastes as "eclectic", a group I also mistrust. Hey, occasionally referring to your horoscope is a good thing, and often puts things in perspective. But being an asshole and then saying "oops, it's just the Virgo in me" is not ok.
