Engaged at 33. Story of not giving up on love.

Sometimes it’s better to wait than be sorry.

I have never had problems with getting male attention. To be honest, I also haven’t had problems with „bad” men. All the boyfriends I ever had were amazing people, but somehow something just didn’t feel right.

I was avoiding commitment thinking that there must be something more, something better, just around the corner.

Some might say, that I needed therapy (and I did), some might say that I was toxic (maybe I was), but as much as I loved being in a relationship and I did truly loved each and every one of my boyfriends, I just wanted different things.

Traveling the world, being independent, growing to whatever direction I like without being judged. Through my 20s I was prioritising me.

I firmly believe in the manifestation, so after years of being single-ish, but with no boyfriend, I decided to be mindful about what I want before I get into another relationship.

And so I’ve made a list. A list of qualities I wanted in a man.

  • physically attractive
  • smart, so we can have intellectual discussions
  • makes me smile
  • looks me in the eyes often and I can feel his love in that…
