I often see and hear the question, 

"What do guys like in girls?"

or 

"What do girls like in guys?" 

And I constantly see answers 

That have to do with

Haircuts

Religions

Anatomy

Makeup

And so many other things. 

I constantly see answers 

Telling a man or a woman 

To dress in a certain color 

In order to attract someone 

Of the opposite sex. 

In asking questions like these, 

Are you asking someone, 

"How can I get this girl/guy to fall in love with me at first sight?" 

Well. 

I personally don't believe in 

"Love at fist sight." 

I believe it takes 

Will,

Patience, 

And and open mind

To discover what love really is. 

If you love someone, 

It shouldn't matter 

If they wear

a pink or blue shirt to school one day. 

If you love someone, 

You shouldn't have to take an online quiz

To find out if she's interested. 

If you love someone, 

It's not what they wear, 

Or what they say, 

Or what they own,

Or what they do, 

It's how you feel about 

THEM. 

Everyone is different. 

We all look for someone 

Who meets to our ideas. 

Someone who has a quality you love. 

Someone who understands. 

Not someone who spikes their hair to the clouds 

Or wears skinny jeans every day. 

Deep down, 

All we want is love. 

But not just 'Love', 

We want the Pure kind of love. 

The love we've imagined sense we were kids. 

Even as a kid

I wanted a man who listened. 

Someone who looks at me, 

And I just know the way he feels. 

Someone to comfort me. 

To hold me. 

To talk to me. 

To take interest in me. 

Someone who loves ME. 

Not how I dress. 

Not how I do my hair. 

Not how I look. 

Yes, 

Looks are a bonus. 

But there is so much more 

In a person

To love. 

It's our differences that makes us unique. 

Is what makes us unique 

That leads us to someone 

Who loves our flaws. 

Whether they're flaws or not. 

So stop asking those questions, 

And discover them yourself. 

Find someone 

And talk to them. 

Ask them questions.

Spend some time with them. 

And you won't have to ask strangers 

If girls/guys like a certain haircut. 

Because there is someone out there 

Who will love everything about you. 

The way you laugh, 

The way you talk, 

The way you walk, 

And so much more. 

There is so much more to you 

For someone to love. 

There is someone who will love

The way your top lip disappears and your nose crinkles when you smile.

They will love the way your voice squeaks when you laugh. 

They will love the way you do anything and everything. 

They will love you.
