  • My Love Resume

    The idea for this came from MadisonLinh's post My Love Resume.

    Objective:
    A fulfilling and equal relationship with someone I love.

    Summary:
    - Will love you with all my heart
    - Very outgoing, energetic and ambitious
    - Very loving
    - Tendency to freak out and need consoling
    - Likes running
    - Wants a dog and kids (eventually)
    - Might be slow to trust again
    - Has the tendency to think that hot guys are jerks (see Template Guy below)

    Experience:
    Tall Skinny Guy (2 months)

    dated in 2006
    - met in high school; we were friends for about a year or so before we started dating
    - taught me to kiss
    - his sexist jokes got on my nerves, so I knew I would never marry him
    - easy breakup when I moved across the country for university, still contact each other every once in a while

    Template Guy (3.5 months)
    dated in 2007
    - met on student council in residence
    - my first long distance relationship: he was in Peru for most of our relationship
    - fit my template of the perfect guy: spoke Spanish (particularly when drunk), was in honours engineering, rich, good looking and played varsity volleyball
    - first guy to break my heart
    - turned out to be a jerk when he broke up with me 3 days after I got back from flying across the country to see him, haven't talked since

    Sweet Guy (1 year, 1 month)
    dated in 2008
    - met through a friend, first time we met he tried to stuff me in a garbage can
    - took me out to dinner after I told him I didn't think we would work out as a couple, asked me out again and I said yes this time
    - the exact opposite of Template Guy: very loving, affectionate and I knew he loved me long before he said it; lived with his mom and remained unemployed and out of school for the majority of our relationship, unathletic and kind of grumpy
    - first (and only) person I have ever had sex with
    - taught me to play World of Warcraft
    - still trying to get over him

    Education:
    The School of Life, Class of Today
    - working on a degree in Concentrating on Myself with a minor in Relaxing
    - honours degrees in Ambition, Stress and Perfectionism

    I Promise To... 
    - Be there when you need me
    - Forgive your small mistakes and expect you to forgive mine
    - Need you sometimes
    - Not try to change you
    - Take care of myself so you don't have to
    - Try not to freak out too much
    - Be empathetic
    - Try to understand your feelings
    - Listen to you
    - Love you

    What would you look for in your perfect boyfriend/girlfriend's resume?  What's in your love resume?

    That's pretty cute. :) Hehehe

  • Manstration@xanga

    He has to be intelligent and funny. Yes, HAS to be. I get bored of those who are too sweet, too egomanical, too sexist... etc.


  • maybracelet@xanga

    He has to be smart, average looking, has a sense of humour and no stone heart. Guys that are too sweet bore you after a while.

  • missleshya

    well sometimes its not a list or how many good or bad things u do, its really all about u know being with the right person and right place and right time and anything u do will be good. On the other hand, all the good things on a bad person ( guy or girl ) will end before u start to think of something serious.

  • kumiko1115@xanga

    aww! I love how you're so honest =)
    you even put when/who you had sex with =P

  • discofleur@xanga

    Wow, this is pretty creative resume for your love experiences! Great entry! =)

  • miss_prettyinpink@xanga

    This is cute. I should make my own!

    I really liked this. "The Sweet Guy" sounds a lot like my current boyfriend. Except mine isn't grumpy or jobless, lol. My SO also taught me how to play WoW. hehe. If we ever break up, I will never forget him. But I'm hoping that won't be for a while. ;) It's already been a year, and I'm looking forward to three more!


    I've only had two other relationships in my past, and they were both four years ago in ninth grade (I'm now in college.)One was for two weeks, and he was someone that I barely knew outside of class. I don't think we had spoken more than four times, before he asked me out. Our first date was to see "The Boogeyman" (lmao). For Valentine's Day, he went overboard and showered me with gifts, only to break up with me the next day over a text message. It devastated my fourteen year old heart.


    My next relationship was with a boy that I was in marching band with, and we both had the same Health class together. I remember it was near the end of the year, and we had extended class periods in all of our classes, so I made a point to talk to Mr. Health Guy. We clicked, and flirted. Two weeks later, he asked me out. And we had a lovely summer together, complete with ridiculous six hour conversations every-day. We also made it for a couple months in the following school year. Four months later, he broke up with me because he had found someone else. He is still with this someone else, and they're planning to get married soon! Good thing I got out of the way. ;)


    Edit: This guy was also the first one I said "I love you" to, but only to take it back later because I DID NOT mean it. My "Sweet Guy" is the only guy I have ever truly loved.


    Well, that's my Love Resume, hehe. Good luck in the future with your romantic endeavors!

  • mywordsx@xanga

    Hehe, cuteee x3 .


    Hmm. I don't really have a "type" that I look for. But he has to be funny :D . Decent-looking, and can pull me into deep conversations.

  • x_vesper@xanga

    I actually don't know what to look for anymore.

  • OptimiGuru0o@xanga

    this is sooooo cute!! I'm basically looking for a guy who is just interested in everything!!!! NOT ONLY SEX!! JEESH! that's all i seem to be attracting!! HORNY SWINGERS!!... *sigh

  • kor_girl@xanga
    Ideal height: 6ft1. Athletic build, broad shoulders and not into counting calories (that's a major plus) since I'm totally into the toned/lean/semi-built guys. Pretty eyes seem to be one of the top 5 qualities, plus being a superb conversationalist, funny without being perverse, openminded, successful/ambitious, and hopeless romantic at heart. Oh yeah, a guy who has good relationship with his family because I am and I can't date someone who is unhappy or hostile toward life or his family. It just doesn't mesh.
    But really, above all else, I need PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL CHEMISTRY. I have to feel it rather than see it yeah? :)
  • moniHOE@xanga

    oooh, i wanna do one!
    thanks for the idea !

  • beezu283@xanga

    this is an adorabe idea!!  haha... i wonder how i'd make my own...there's only been a couple guys.  :P

  • IwantTobeABC@xanga

    that is the cutest thing ever. i want to make my own now... hehehe

  • allxnight_always@xanga
  • jiaying28@xanga

    this is awesome!...i shall do mine now...

  • Tokimon@xanga

    i wonder...

    it might be good catharsis to do one.. too
  • TheNotoriousGOD@xanga

    "Has the tendency to think that hot guys are jerks"


    yeah i think the same thing about girls.


    i'd be curious to know what happened with sweet guy, btw.

  • fly46@xanga

    My resume would be way worse than yours....


    - One Night Stand Man  (okay, there were a handful of them)


    - Template Man who turned out to be Psycho


    - Married guy totally in love with me.



    So yeah, what I'm looking for is something that I have never never never ever had before.


    I want somebody who encourages everything I do - actively.  As in, don't sit there on the couch and grumble something about it like I'm intruding.  If I want to put together a zine, offer to help me staple 'em together.  Be a useful part of my success.


    Don't tell me things.. Show them.  The sweetest thing I ever saw was my friend Eric randomly get out of his chair and give his wife a massage in the middle of Starbucks.  She never asked for it, never hinted that she wanted one, but he just wanted to do that for her.  I'm so incredibly jealous that Carolyn has that and I'm single.  In my experience, words can be incredibly empty.  Behavior on the other hand tells a much different story.


    Oh, and a guy that will do the dishes.  I love to bake.  I love to cook.  I almost never do either because I know when I'm done there'll be fifty-two bowls, spoons, cups, baking sheets, etc, dirty from the process.  A man that would willingly clean that up would be wonderful. 


    Also, not somebody who's married.  Not somebody who smokes, and nobody who's so into their religion that they're trying to be the second coming of Jesus.

  • maggieheartzyou@xanga

    awh! this is cute! :)

    my resume would lack A LOT of experience. lol. >>;
  • parathis@xanga

    That's interesting.  I think you can also tell by someone's dating resume how much crap they're willing to put up with by looking at how bad the guy is and how long she stayed with him.


    You can also tell the one's that are just too picky and don't really want to be relationship by how many gaps they have between relationships and how short they are.  Like mine.  That's what mine would have written all over it.  Really picky with a keen eye for discrimination but also a lack of trying and not enough faith.
