Day 25: 10 ways to win your heart.

Girls, pay attention. This is how to win my heart. 10 how to’s (but not limited to):

  • Have an open mind and an open heart. I don’t like stuck up girls who have shallow taste in things. Know when to say yes and when to say no.
  • Have a good sense of humor. The easiest way to get to me is tickling my funny bone. For some reason, I am attracted to a girl who has a funny sense of humor. I think it is the sexiest part of a girl.
  • Fashion-savvy. I like a girl who can dress well. Whether it’s on a random Tuesday afternoon just going to the grocery, or as Barney Stinson puts it, “suiting up” for a formal event, she must know how to wear a dress.
  • This may seem shallow, but I like a girl who has some knowledge with sports. She doesn’t have to know all the terms to everything, but she knows just enough to carry a conversation with anyone about it. 10x better if it’s on basketball.
  • Casual readers. Or maybe more. I read every once in a while because I like to exercise my mind. So why not should a girl, too? This basically reiterates how I don’t like shallow girls.
  • Independent. I like girls who can stand up for themselves. Not that I mind standing up for them, but sometimes we must all stand up for ourselves. 
  • Spontaneity. Just the right amount. There’s no better feeling than being surprised by a girl in a good way. Who doesn’t wanna feel special to someone?
  • Health-conscious. The good kind. I like a girl who’s comfortable with her body, but at the same time, she doesn’t abuse it. Skinny isn’t necessarily healthy. But a girl who takes care of her body, and is happy with it is sexy.
  • I like a girl who likes most of the things that I do. It’s a good feeling when someone supports something that you do, especially when you’re passionate about it. It’d be nice if she does some of those things with me, and enjoy it.
  • Most important: Respect me for who I am. Like me for who I am. Don’t make me your project, trying to turn me into your perfect guy. I will never be and I’m not trying to be.
