Eight ways to win my heart (Day 3 of the tumblr challenge)

On this third day of the tumblr challenge, I realized that... I still can't get http://shaquanamonet.tumblr.com/ to look quite the way I want it to. I'm not gonna pout though, I'll keep hope alive as I move on to day three of the tumblr challenge, which is to list Eight ways to win your heart.


I should preface this by saying I had to ask for help. I had to look at the common denominator of each of my exes... This is my conclusion




Most importantly is having a sense of humor! I'm such a goofball, and I need somebody to laugh with, that can crack jokes and not be too self conscious to do dumb sh*t with. Somebody that can cheer me up with an inside joke is someone I keep around.

LOYALTY. Yes, it had to be capitalized, because that's how important it is to me. If I'm cool with someone, I'll go through hell and high water for and with them. The same is expected in return. Loyalty is royalty, and I believe that with all my heart.

People with ambition turn me on.  Ambition is defined as    

an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction: as power, honor, fame, or wealth; and the willingness to strive for its attainment

Plain and simple. I'm all about bettering myself, and the world at large. People that are fine with maintaining the status quo both confuse and annoy me. Make a goal, and strive for it. Always exceed expectations.

Be prompt! All of my friends know, if you're not on time when we're supposed to meet up, you will get left. The best way to describe my feelings about time management is this:

"To be 'early' is on time. To be 'on time' is late. To be late? Unacceptable"

Volunteer and/or donate money to causes that matter to you. Even if it's a cause that I oppose, the fact that you show the level of passion, commitment and interest in current world affairs; especially those that matter to you is inherently respectable. Being informed and able to make points about the organizations/philosophies even better.

Be nocturnal with me. Sleep is a foreign concept, and I firmly believe that the best brain storming comes between 12-5am. So, having someone that can stay up late and... create with me is endearing

Swag/Self confidence. I'm a fiercely independent person, and I need someone that can keep up with me, inspire me in friendly competition and won't get their feelings hurt when I have to do my own thing. I'm not fond of having to cheer people up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. If you can't man up, I can't be around you like that.

Food is probably the easiest way to bond with me. Breaking bread with someone, sharing a meal, some drinks and a great conversation brings all the focus onto how you like them as a person. If I'm not too fond of you, I don't wanna be enjoying some lobster while you sit across the table from me. I'm a bit of a fat a*s, so i eat out a lot. When you're down to enjoy good food and good times, it earns you a spot in my heart forever
