pre-emptive

I know it isn’t really friday yet, but I have the day off tomorrow for SHAVUOT (thank you, Jewish place of employment, thank you) and I don’t plan on being awake or productive for any of it. Plus, I just got done stuffing myself at Stella’s with Sjet and I have a bee in my bonnet.

Ahem.

1. How many times have you truly been in love?

Truly truly, twice. How many times did I think I was in love? Crank that number up a couple.

2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?

I can’t answer this question. Not to go all “hippie woo-woo bullshit” on you, as Sjet would put it, but I don’t think this question is even valid. There wasn’t a most and a least, there were just (drastically) different types of love.

3. What qualities should a significant other have?

Please have a sense of humor. Be flexible. Know how to pick your battles. And mostly, make me feel like the truest version of myself when we’re together. This may be done by coaxing, teasing, or all-out ass-kicking. (This is a stylistic choice and is entirely up to you.) Also, it should be noted that “truest” doesn’t mean “prettiest” or “most presentable”. I know this.

4. Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

Truthfully, I don’t know. Have I had my heart broken? Yes. That shit ain’t pretty.

5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?

If you don’t take it so damn seriously, you won’t be so unhappy later. Trust me.

p.s. Dating “rules” are bullshit, and if you’re dumb enough to think that you need to wait a certain number of days after a date to call, you probably deserve to be alone. Save the power-trip mind games for your online role-playing.
