Testimonies: Why I'm still single

by Summer Stewart

Created on: February 13, 2008   Last Updated: October 31, 2008

So I am not the pickiest person in the world I just require certain things in order for you to be a part of my life. Obviously, if I am attracted to you that is a bonus, but over the passed five years I have been collecting what I would like in a guy and I am going to start making a list:



1. A cute name
I don't like the following names: Steve, John, Allen, Joe, Jim, Robert, or anything


that I am not comfortable calling you in front of other people. I like the names Ryan and Nathan.

2. You need to be taller than myself, but if you are 5'8" I am ok with that because I also like being eye to eye. Sorry, no midgets

3. A secret sugar addiction

4. You must love the ocean



5. You have to have traveled or want to travel

6. You should be able to properly hold and take a beer bong with one hand

7. Even though you cannot dance you have to try

8. Go to the beach and actually get in the water

9. Must love dogs

10. Must want kids at one point in your life

11. Will buy me a diet coke even though you don't drink it(I shouldn't have to ask, that is the point).

12. Can fall asleep with me and wake up happy even though nothing happened

13. Must love to cook or doesn't mind a lot of home-cooking

14. Needs to be willing to get in the car and drive, no questions asked

15. Can cry without being embarrassed

16. Must fight for what you love even if it is only verbal.

17. Able to handle the fact that I have a lot of great guy friends and a few girlfriends.

18. Won't be to upset if I kiss another girl while drunk or sober

19. Will applaud when I score a 60 in bowling

20. Stays quiet during the baseball game(like don't talk about stuff that gets in the way of me watching the game unless it has do with beer, that the Yankees are the best, or a topic on pickles and how great they are!)

To be continued . . . . . . . . . . . . .
21. Will understand when I don't let you touch me after I have had a bad day

22. Doesn't have to like sports, but is willing to go to the games with me
- I love baseball and my fav team is NYY

23. Will text me at the most random times of the day

24. Must not be afraid to make funny faces

25. Will be honest when I ask for your opinion

26. Have Faith

27. Will kiss me in the rain and hug me in the snow

28. Understand that when I say that I am always right that means that I am looking for a debate, not a fight

29. I cry in the car, so if I do don't say anything. If I start talking just listen

30. I want a guy that challenges me in everything I do and does not let me
settle

To be continued again. . . .

31. Will laugh at me even if he knows it makes me frustrated

32. Is not afraid to tell me when I AM wrong. I think I am always right but if you have the balls to put me in my place, all the more points for you

33. Understands that I drive fast and I swear and the most inconvenient moments

34. I drink and sometimes I need to be saved. Be willing to save me

35. Will dress up for Halloween and go trick or treating

36. Must love wine or learn to drink it

37. Doesn't mind when I go out of my way for the smallest favors that i want to do for you

38. I am a wanderer and I might not always stick by your side when we go out. Don't be offended, be happy that I am independent

39. Doesn't mind being with me, but gets it when I want to do it on my own.

40. Likes to go camping

41. Willing to try anything once
