I LOVE:

A song that thrills me, fireworks, the smell of leaves in fall, gentlemen, the bright lights of Tokyo, experiencing new things, chatting over coffee, spending time with people I love, old couples, animals, laughter, the feel of cool water in summer, when my students actually learn something, smiling at people, the smell and touch of roses, tea, a good book, being held, Christmas lights, family, honorable people, honesty, amusement parks, potatoes, boats, history, PDA's, jumping waves, brunch, strong men, dancing, going to live games, ginger martinis, football, hot chocolate on a winter day, mistletoe, going to the beach, the sound of snow crunching under my feet, pink sweaters, the smell of suntan lotion, boots, massages, poetry, fizzy champagne, men's cologne, onsens, tabasco, writing a good song, and the way men look at you when they love you.

I HATE:

People who don't keep their promises, men who won't communicate, having a broken heart, bad smells, people who drink too much, getting up early if I have to go somewhere, peas, slow drivers, narrow mindedness, constant complaining, waiting for phone calls, liars, cheating, feeling stressed, people who are always in a bad mood, driving in winter, too much swearing, violence, being misunderstood, feeling lonely, worrying about the future, rudeness, feeling bored.

I WANT A GUY:

To be able to have a conversation with me, to explore new places and experience exciting things, to not be afraid of taking risks but also not be defined as a risk taker, to order for me in a restaurant, to use correct grammar when writing, to have a dependable job, to have goals in life, to be someone I can respect, to be honest with me, to tell me when something is wrong, to keep his proposal a surprise, to hold doors open for me, to give good massages, to tell everyone how lucky he is to know me, to be confident, to be faithful, to be kind to everyone, to kiss me until I feel dizzy and weak, to shoulder my burdens and let me shoulder his, to stand up for me if necessary, and to never give me up if you love me.
