Day 3 - 8 ways to win my heart.

Day three of the earlier meme and because I'm on my iPad I can't copy and paste. So trust me this is day three's topic

I'd love to say all about the altruistic things that I respect in an individual but the truth of the matter is I'm selfish and shallow. So going with that theme here are the 8 things to win my heart.

1. Flowers. Love me the flowers. And if you can remember the kind of flowers I like you get bonus points. And if you pick them from the side of the road, even bigger bonus points. Anybody can buy carnations from the grocery store. Few people will pull over to pick apple blossoms or daisies.
2. Put your hand on the small of my back when we go somewhere - enter a restaurant, walk into a store. Don't be pushy, but it's nice to know you're there. You 'got my back'. A lot of people don't like that. But if you're somebody who already has my heart this is the equivalent of an insurance goal.
3. Remember something I said and use it another day in a conversation. You were paying enough attention that whatever I said stuck? You're in.

Wow. I'm running out of things already. Apparently I am a simple woman with few demands.

4. Wear a tie and be freshly shaven. That will not only win my heart, you better bring paper towel because my heart will be in a puddle somewhere on the floor.

Hmmm... Buy me jewelry? Take me on a trip? Neither of those things really. I buy my own jewelry. I'm picky and my tastes change frequently enough I don't want you to be offended if I don't wear whatever you bought every day. And I expect to buy my own trips. Or not. Either way. Those things would be cool but they won't melt my knees. On the other hand there is a full carat and a half Tiffany setting diamond ring I've had my eye on. I wouldn't turn it down, since I'm not buying that for myself any time soon.

5. Draw me a bath when I get home from work. Bonus points if you added bubble bath. Double bonus points if you poured a glass of wine.

This shiznat is hard. I'm not a difficult person to win over. Quite the opposite. But I can't think of anything that would really sweep me off my feet.

How about things that are a guaranteed way to not get my heart. That might be easier.

6. Be a smoker. I respect your right to smoke but I have this thing about smoking. It's not even that I don't like it (I don't) but I almost have a phobia about it. So that's a deal breaker right there. If you're a smoker, I'm sorry if I've offended you. I probably really like you. And you're a very nice person. But it's just one of those things. We can be best friends, but you're not going to sweep me off my feet.
7. Interrupt me when I talk and/or only talk about yourself. And finish my sentences. Especially when the way you finish them isn't even close to what I'm thinking. That's always nice.

8. Oh here's something to put in the other category of things that really do sweep me off my feet. Tell other people about me. Talk about the things you like about me with other people. That too will go far in making me all tingly.

There ya have it.

tougher than I thought.

Tune in tomorrow when I tell you 6 things about something else.
