You cannot let me down


There is an old sex and the city episode where charlotte talks about her list of requirements for the man she will date and eventually marry. People tend to have a negative idea about people with high standards. There is nothing wrong with high standards especially when these standards involved respect and how you are treated. But you better meet your own standards

too!

My standards do not involve what kind of job you have. I have dated successful people and that was their whole life. I also know some super awesome successful people so I'm not knocking on all you guys!

My standards do not involve how much money you have, but how you manage it. I'm not always the best at this so if you're not great at it either... Were in trouble.

My standards do not involve your relationship with your family. If you're super close to them, that's fantastic. But my family is complex and if yours is too, I get it. I've dated the person with the super tight knit family, and they were horrible to me.

The short list: be respectful, carry a conversation, know who you are, don't be afraid to love.

My gold standard: don't EVER let me down. I ask one thing... Always be there for me. I promise I will always be there for you; drop everything and come running if needed.

Have you ever ended up in the hospital by yourself? I have... Twice. It is a horrible feeling. I'll never do that to you if you never do that to me.

I was with "Mr everything" but looking back I see how that's not true. Old fashioned chivalry is not everything. Flowers, gifts, travel and dinners are mere smoke screens. Because when you are abandoned at your most vulnerable, weakest moment. That love is nothing. Your high standards are nothing. And that Mr everything raised my standards... To what he couldn't give me...

Don't ever let me down.

...Now on to finding you...
