When i got into a relationship, however, i realized that though my earlier criteria still mattered, there are far more special characteristics i value. The first one is that he should have a genuinely good heart. This does not only apply to his relationship with me, but to everyone else as well. He is the one who would get along well with my friends and be gracious to my family.
He should not only be my boyfriend, but also my best friend. Being in the relationship gives me the reassurance that during my happiest times and my lowest points, someone is there to hold my hand. He'd be the first person i'd look for when i was feeling low. He would also be my sounding board whenever i get into disagreements with anyone in my family or friends. He'd the one who would say the right words to make me feel better. He'd the one i want to share exciting moments with, the one i'd want to be stuck in the car with during a bad
Lastly, my boyfriend should be someone who makes me proud. As two separate souls finding each other, we still have our own set of goals and ambitions. He'd be someone who is dedicated to what he believes in and succeeds in his own special way. Little milestone in his life would make me smile and would make me realize how lucky i am to be with such a brave and talented person.
There's a saying that goes,"There is no perfect girlfriend or boyfriend, only one who's perfect for you." For me, these characteristics are what make a perfect boyfriend. If during my early years, i fantasized on how a perfect boyfriend should be, this time, i'm basing it on someone i know... ;)
