Todo lo que necesito es un hombre al que le importe una mierda.

No puedo creer que siga creyendo en el amor después de todo lo que he pasado, pero lo creo. Creo que está en algún lugar ahí fuera para mí. Sólo que aún no me ha encontrado.

And just because I believe in love, it doesn’t mean I am not scared of it at the same time. Every time I gave my heart to someone, they would only return it more scattered than before.

Para ser sincera, estoy cansada. Parece que estoy chocando contra un muro de ladrillo, y mi vida amorosa esencialmente no va a ninguna parte. Estoy corriendo en círculos sin fin con los hombres que sólo me hacen perder el tiempo.

The universe isn’t paying attention. I said I want a man who actually gives a shit about me, not a man who treats me like shit. There is a huge difference.

By now, all I experienced was lousy treatment, men who didn’t know what they wanted from life—let alone me—the ones that give their all at first and suddenly pull away, the ones that aren’t ready.

To be honest, I am sick of it. That’s why I decided to be clearer about what I want from a man. I decided it’s time to change my bad taste in men and wait for someone who cares about me.

I need a man who can’t imagine the whole day passing without hearing from me.

Nadie está demasiado ocupado enviar un mensaje de texto o llamar al menos una vez al día. Sólo te llevará unos minutos, pero significa mucho. Significa que está pensando en ti. Significa que está dispuesto a invertir en vuestra relación. Significa que le importas.

I can’t make excuses anymore for men who forget all about me as soon as I leave their sight. I refuse to allow anyone who doesn’t make even a tiny bit of effort to waste my time.

Necesito un hombre que arda en deseos de verme.

I hate that feeling when somebody is “meh” about you. I want someone who will miss me when he doesn’t see me for a while. I want to feel my bones almost breaking from his hug.

I want a passionate kiss ‘hello’ and at least a smooch ‘goodbye’. I need a man who is sure about his feelings. I can’t handle half commitments and flakiness. I need a real man who is all in.

Necesito un hombre que me dé más que palabras.

I’ve had my fair share of empty words, false promises and “I love you’s” which were never backed up with actions. Hearing things doesn’t mean anything when you can feel it.

I will value a man who shows me that he loves me more than the one who only talks about love. I want to feel like I am living in a dream because he treats me so well I can’t believe it’s real.

Necesito un hombre que se dé cuenta de que me siento mal y haga todo lo posible por levantarme.

No, I don’t need a hero. I have been my own hero for a long time now. I just need a man who will be observant. Who won’t leave when he sees how upset I am.

Who will stand right by my side even when he doesn’t know what to say? I need a man who will listen and understand.

Que suelta un chiste para hacerme sonreír un momento. Yo haría lo mismo por él.

Necesito un hombre que esté dispuesto a resolver los problemas y no a esconderlos debajo de la alfombra.

I want somebody who is ready to talk things out after every argument. Someone who doesn’t turn his back on me and gives me the cold shoulder.

I need somebody who doesn’t blame me for everything and understands that our problems shouldn’t be bigger than our love for each other. We can get through anything if we are both ready to work on it.

Necesito un hombre al que le guste por mí.

Necesito a man who won’t try to change me. Necesito a alguien que me quiera tal y como soy. Él es el único que podrá soportar mis defectos y disfrutar de mis virtudes.

He will proudly hold my hand and won’t hesitate to tell the world that I am someone special to him. He will never put me down. He will be the one who gives me the push I need to be even better.

Necesito un hombre al que realmente le importe una mierda.

Only then all the things I listed above will go smoothly. It will all flow naturally. He will make an effort, I will make an effort, and we’ll find each other halfway.

En lugar de ser la única que entrega su corazón, cuerpo y alma a la relación, todo será recíproco. Le esperaré, y I won’t settle for anything less.
