Tudo o que preciso é de um homem que se preocupe comigo

Não acredito que ainda acredito no amor depois de tudo o que passei, mas acredito. Acredito que ele está algures lá fora para mim. Só que ainda não me encontrou.

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 sincero, estou farto disto. Parece que estou a bater numa parede de tijolo e a minha vida amorosa não vai a lado nenhum. Estou a andar em círculos intermináveis com homens que só me fazem perder tempo.

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.

Ninguém está demasiado ocupado para enviar mensagens ou telefonar pelo menos uma vez por dia. Demora apenas alguns minutos, mas significa muito. Significa que ele está a pensar em si. Significa que ele está pronto para investir na vossa relação. Significa que ele se preocupa.

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.

Preciso de um homem que esteja a arder com o desejo de me ver.

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.

Preciso de um homem que me dê mais do que palavras.

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.

Preciso de um homem que note que estou em baixo e que faça o seu melhor para me levantar.

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 diz uma piada para me fazer sorrir por um momento. Eu faria o mesmo por ele.

Preciso de um homem que esteja disposto a resolver os problemas e não a pô-los debaixo do tapete.

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.

Preciso de um homem que goste de mim por mim.

Preciso de a man who won’t try to change me. Preciso de alguém que goste de mim tal como sou. Ele é o único que saberá lidar com os meus defeitos e apreciar as minhas 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.

Preciso de um homem que se importe comigo.

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.

Em vez de ser a única a dar o seu coração, corpo e alma na relação, tudo será recíproco. Eu vou esperar por ele, e I won’t settle for anything less.
