What I Want

I want someone who will be monogamous and nice to his mother. And I want someone who likes musicals, but knows to just shut his mouth when I’m watching “Lost.” And I want someone who thinks being really into cars is lame, and strip clubs are gross. I want someone who will actually empty the dishwasher instead of just taking out forks as needed - like I do. I want someone with clean hands and feet and beefy forearms, like a damned Disney prince. And I want him to genuinely like me. Even when I’m old. And that’s what I want.
- Liz Lemon, 30 Rock

This is what I want.  Someone who will love me even when I look like an Irish potato farmer after hot yoga.  Who doesn't mind the fact that I want to wear sweats to the grocery store or expect me to look like a Victoria's Secret model when I go to bed and understands that just poking me in the back with his "thing" does not make me get all hot and bothered.

I want someone who thinks about me as much as I think about them.  Loves my crooked teeth and white skin.  Who I can call to say "I miss you" but not be obligated to spend every waking hour together.  I want someone to snuggle, hug, kiss and do dirty things to when the mood strikes but doesn't need me to wash his clothes.  Someone who likes to do yard work, can hold a conversation without having to check his phone or Sports Center, and wants to call me when he hears a stupid joke.

It really isn't a lot to ask.
