Life Partner

And when I thought I'm ready to open my heart, I found that I'm holding back myself. Pondering.. hmm.. Well, I asked myself "Why???" Is it because of the past? I don't think so. So perhaps is the future that i'm worried about. I'm becoming more and more picky over the period. You know.. worried that i'm the reason, my "picky-ness", that the relationship doesn't work out.

So, maybe i should tell him straight on, that what would i be expecting from someone that i take serious consideration of more-than-just-friends or lifelong partner. Telling him what qualities that i'm looking for. But deep down, i understand that humans are not perfect. I AM NOT PERFECT. haha.. but there are certain things that i really hope the other half has.. 

For instance, people skills. This is something really general. But i find it rather important. If a person can't generate a healthy conversation without awkward stoppages, this will eventually be a hinder to a relationship. Not only among lovers, but also among friends, or getting to know a new group of people, especially close friends of hers (that's the biggest error that most guys missed.. get into the good book of her close friends, and you're at least 50% in the safe zone).

Secondly, leadership. Every lady, no matter weak or strong, would always love to be leaded in a relationship. It showed that you've got things in control, and it gives a sense of security. Yes, sense of security is very important. If a guy who swayed like a lalang (a type of weed in malay), just blindly following the wind.. then that'll not be a good sign.

Thirdly, career stability. This strongly relates to security. Having a stable career, means stable income. And also  showing interest in climbing the career ladder or showing eagerness in self improvement (i.e. further studies/ get a professional cert), always means that you're constantly improving yourself, lifelong learning, with strong will power to endure and pass through obstacles. 

Fourthly, be an outdoor person. Mainly because i enjoy outdoor activities as much. Of course, would love to spend time doing it with the person i love, right? ;)

I guess those are the major qualities that i'm attracted to. What about you other ladies out there? What kind of characteristics that you're looking at for a guy to be the special one in your life? =)
