Are You Out There?

I want someone who’s into me, truly and from the start—no baggage, just a fresh beginning. Someone who’s ready to prove he’s worth the leap, not just another face in the crowd. I want someone who’s about winning me over, not expecting me to do all the heavy lifting. I’m tired of stretching myself thin. I want love that flows naturally, not something I have to force—like a log in a bonfire, warming up slowly and steadily, until it burns bright. I want someone who’s head over heels the moment he sees me—someone bold enough to speak up and lay his feelings out with honesty. Someone who’s not afraid to court me like it’s the '90s, writing me letters on coffee-stained stationery, choosing the perfect words to make me feel special. But it’s not just about the words—it’s about the actions that prove he means every one of them, consistently. I want someone whose imagination matches mine—not someone who shuts me down with 'life isn’t a fairytale.' I need someone who can take me out of this whirlwind, someone ready to step into a world of magic with me, even if it's just a mental escape into places where wonder still exists. I want someone who has the respect to ask my parents for permission to take me on coffee dates, not dismiss it as outdated or impractical. Someone who knows my favorite coffee and pastry, understands the exact vibe I’m in, and somehow manages to capture candid photos of me that still look flawless—without me even noticing. I want someone who's smart—not the 'let me make you feel small' kind of smart, but the 'let me light up your mind' kind of smart. Someone who's not afraid to step off the beaten path, not someone I have to pry out of his comfort zone. Someone who sees big opportunities and thinks, 'I’m ready for that,' rather than settling for, 'I’m happy enough right here. I want someone who thinks about me in every decision, not someone who acts on impulse and expects me to just go along with it. I need a man who includes me in his plans, not one who’s too busy being selfish and making decisions without a second thought. I want someone who's not so fixated on being with me all the time that he can’t respect when I need space. Someone who knows I need time to recharge and doesn’t act like I’m tied down to him. I want someone who understands I need my own time with friends, family, and colleagues—without making me feel guilty, like I’m committing some unspoken crime. I want someone who's honest—not someone who tells me just what I want to hear, but someone who’ll drop the hard truth, even if it hurts. I need someone who communicates openly, rather than flashing a sweet smile while hiding lies behind it. Lastly, I want a man who can be my shield—physically and mentally. Someone I can lean on when life gets too heavy, not another battle I have to fight on my own. A man whose strength and faith are unshakable, even before our paths crossed—not just someone I had to drag into church because it's what you're 'supposed' to do. Hey, are you out there, or am I just chasing shadows again?
