I'm a nineteen year old girl living in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I am bored. VERY bored. I am also single.
Although half the time I am under the impression that all guys suck, I'm still hoping that some don't! I just seem to get to know the dodgy ones! The following is a list of things that you, as a charming young man, will NOT do! (Note: this is all from personal experience!)
* You will not promise me that I'm the love of your life and then fall for someone else on a camp, leading you to break up with me and get with her a few weeks later, pretending that it wasn't all because of her.
* You will not physically throw me out of your house on a whim, leaving me a sobbing heap on the ground where I have banged my head HARD on the stone porch.
* You will not believe that you are the lord of the underworld and all darkness and chaos. (This includes not indulging in behavious such as using a wooden staff or your fists to punch walls. This also includes not shooting imaginary arrows at the wheels of moving cars, throwing imaginary ninja stars or hurling imaginary fire/energy balls at passing pedestrians...)
* You will not break up with me every second day, and then get back together with me everything third day.
* You will not break up with me after being intimate only hours before, simply because I begin crying because of sheer exhaustion.
* You will not then threaten to murder my best friend in the hope that I will be so miserable that I will commit suicide, thus ridding the world of my pestulance. Nor will you threaten to murder me with a fire hydrant cat. Nor will you talk of cutting your father's brake lines. Nor will you claim to have killed another person.
* You will not be so paranoid and untrusting that you disassociate with your best friend because you had a dream about him 'backstabbing' you. (As a general rule, there should be more people in your life who you feel HAVEN'T backstabbed you than you feel have.)
* You will not tell me off for not broadcasting that I have mental/neurological/whatever issues.
* If and when I *do* choose to be more open about my mental health, you will NOT make remarks to me such as 'you never should have been let out of the mental assylum' or 'you should spend the rest of your life in the psychiatric assylum'.
* You will not go talking about me behind my back. A relationship is just not working when you spend more time asking my mother what is wrong with me than spending time with me.
* You will under no circumstances, no matter how difficult the breakup, say to me that the only reason you stayed with me was because you pitied my family having to 'deal' with me alone.
* You will not shrug your shoulders when your 'best friend' tells me I shouldn't be with you because one day you might want children and CLEARLY I am unfit to have children as they might have Bi-Polar. (The young man in question did however back down, because in the future there might be tests to pick up such things, and I could just have an abortion. It must be noted that the information gained by the 'best friend' will have been passed on by yours truly...)
* You will not then come to me to whinge and whine about how awful your best friend is TO YOU!
* You will not lie. Ever. Period. Especially when it is regarding matters of the heart.
* You will not try to fix me.
* It is preferable that you will not have spent your time months prior to meeting me engaging in illegal drag racing and sleeping with 'prizes' for the races you won.
* You will not, immediately after meeting me, beging to send sms's calling me your 'sweet babe'. Upon being informed that I am only looking for friendship, you will not then proceed to send me sms's of abuse.
Erm... I think that's about it! *blinks* Oh yeah, and don't ask me what I'm thinking unless you actually want to know.
Sorry bout that guys, guess I still have a bit of a bleeding heart eh? As for me, I'm a very liberal Christian who has screwed up many a time. I love cats, I have a passion for Auslan and Deaf Culture, and I love bumming round on the internet.
If you wish to change my opinion about guys and prove to me that nice ones DO exist, feel free to contact me!
