Day 11: Your Current Relationship.

I feel like there's been a lot of questions about my relationship or boyfriend with this 30 Day Writing Challenge... I feel like I've already answered this. 

I'm in a relationship with an lovely man. In fact, he's my dream man in every way. He's managed to be better than the kind of man I'd always hoped for even. 

A couple years ago my coworkers were being snarky and made me come up with a list of things I wanted in a potential boyfriend. If I recall it was after the Plenty of Fish fiasco where I had bad dare after bad date. I met a lot of guys that weren't good for me and vice versa. The list included: 

-Intelligence 

-Kind

-Talkative 

-Similar Interests

-Employed 

-Driver's License 

-A Car

That kind of thing. I've been told that's a lame list and should be the bare minimum of any date ever and what the heck was wrong with me. I was then chastised when the first boyfriend I talked about met little of this list and my coworkers let me know it. 

The point is... my current boyfriend far exceeds any list I could ever come up with. 

Not only is he affectionate, intelligent, and enjoys talking to me and being with me, but he initiates conversations about the future on a regular basis. He'd be an amazing partner to build a life and future with. For the first time ever that kind of conversation doesn't scare me away but only makes me feel secure. I feel like we'd be a good team. 

It's still early, I know, but I hope it works out...
