Things that make me say "Hmmmmm"

I like to think that I'm a relatively simple girl.  Of course I'm complicated when it comes to my innermost emotions and such, but for the most part... I'm a simple girl.  I'm also a "serial monogamist".  Often, friends ask me how it is that I'm always able to find a good guy and they can't.  I don't have a good answer to that, as what is good for me might be terrible for them... or even that the grass isn't always as green as it looks. Either way, though I'm not in a relationship now, I have been very lucky in love.  I fully attribute it to what I look for / appreciate in a man that is to be my "boo".  Here are a few of the things (both meaningful and shallow) that impress me:

Sidenote: This post will soon be followed by one that details things that do NOT impress me.

1) You listen.  I mean REALLY listen.  I'm an open person for the most part it's not difficult to learn general information about me.  I'm a talker.  I have Facebook.  Anyone can figure out where I went to school, that I like to shop and that I love bacon.  However, if you remember the little things like... ordering my double cheeseburger with no onions or pickles or surprising me with a CD you remember me mentioning, I appreciate it.  There are things that I have major issues with, like my inability to deal with people letting me down.  This inability leads me to be very resistant to letting people in.  I can't let you in if you don't listen.  If we have met several times and on each occasion you ask "what do you do?", you have better odds of jumping off of a cliff and surviving than you do of getting more of my time.  I'm not asking that you remember my title, date of hire, supervisors name.... I'm just asking that you remember that we have had this damn conversation.

2) Attentiveness.  In addition to listening, it needs to be clear to me that I'm a priority to you.  I'm not saying you have to spend all your time with me, or be constantly under me while we're together. I just like to know that you're concerned with me, whether or not I'm good... and if I'm not, you're willing to do something about it.

3) We can be goofy together.  I am easily tickled by things.  I do random things and have random thoughts that people can't always relate to.  I like having someone in my life who also has these random outbursts and feels comfortable sharing them with me... and also doesn't look at me crazy when I do it. 

4) I love blazers, ties, vests and a nice pair of drivers (boat shoes).  A man that will allow me to dress him is impeccably wise, and such a turn on.  These particular articles of clothing make my heart beat just a little (a lot) bit faster.  I'm gonna make you look good.  Some girls think that this is foolish of me, as I'm making you more marketable to other women... but it gives me a certain sense of pride.  Especially when someone compliments you and you give me the credit. 

5) You have to love to cuddle.  That's pretty much it.

6) You can fluctuate between being a "mover and shaker" to a "couch potato".  I love going out, dancing, and I love having my boo there.  I also love ordering pizza and watching movies on the couch all day.  I want you there for both.

7) You can stimulate me intellectually/socially/emotionally.  I can talk about pretty much anything; I love having a conversation with you that makes me want to do some research, make a conscious decision to do something different in my day to day life, or feel extra warm and fuzzy inside because you've tapped into my emotions.

8) I love to spoil my boo.  Some men don't know how to handle it.  I just want you to smile, say thank you and give me the business.  Simple as that.

9) You know how to make me feel comfortable.  I like confident men, but not aggressive ones.  Knowing how to make me feel safe with you is a huge deal.  Additionally, I don't handle stress the best... your ability to put me at ease will not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
