Standards

So, I've decided that I'm going to listen to one of my best friends, Casey, and make a list of my standards that guys must meet. After the fall of my last relationship due to the fact that I let myself be hurt, I'm not going to let that happen again. So here we go.

• He must have never cheated on another girlfriend. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
• He can't have privacy and trust issues. If I am going to be completely open with you, you better be completely open with me.
• He must be honest. I can't stand liars, and I refuse to have them in my life.
• He must have some belief system, but be accepting of other religions and belief systems.
• He has to be playful.
• He has to be okay with telling me he loves me in front of other people.
• He has to come from a good family.
• He has to tell his family about me. I refuse to be hidden.
• He has to be a family man.
• I want time with my friends, and I want him to have time with his friends, but I never want to be in second place.
• He has to like Italian food.
• He has to be there when I'm scared.
• He has to be adventurous, but also be okay with being lazy sometimes.
• NO drugs.
• He can drink alcohol, but he CANNOT be an alcoholic. 
• He has to love animals.
• He has to have an education, or be pursuing one.
• He has to like my art, and believe in my abilities.
• He has to believe in me. PERIOD. 
• He MUST like The Beatles. If he loves them, that's even better.
• He has to like my cooking.
• He has to be sweet, generous, and caring.
• He has to accept me for me and not expect me to change for him or anyone else.
• His friends can't be assholes.
• If I'm his girlfriend, I don't want to worry about another girl taking my place.
• A little athletic, a little nerdy, and a little preppy.
• He has to accept that I cry when I'm sad and when I'm happy.
• My family has to love him just as much as I do.
