Terms Of Endearment

What romantically lures you to the opposite (or same) sex? Is it his/her sense of humor, or artistic aptitude? Nah… Is it his/her kindness, compassion, personality, or fondness of children? Nope, nope, nope… Those are the kind of characteristics that connect you to your friends… Hmm, let’s see now, is it his/her eyes, smile? Well, Maybe… Is it their lips, washboard abs, thick thighs? Yeah, yeah, probably. See, now we’re getting somewhere…

If you think about it, you could probably find the same positive traits that you love about your friends in your significant other. But you’re not feelin’ your friends like that, are you? Can’t put your finger on it, but something sets those two relationships apart. What is it?!

Ever wonder how you can meet a man/woman that is so perfect; Smart, funny, compassionate, handsome/beautiful, thoughtful, affectionate, everything you want, but he/she still doesn’t do it for you? You just can’t see yourself committing to them, but all your friends and relatives are saying, What’s wrong with you?! Anybody would kill to have -insert name here-” But to you, it’s like they’re missing something… What is it?!

Well, I’ll tell you what they’re missing: The it factor. ‘It’ is usually something that arouses you (in whatever way) about your gender of preference. Whatever makes you say, “damn!” is your ‘it’ factor. That one little profane word can elevate your friend to your potential husband/wife in a matter of minutes LOL... My point is, the only thing that seems to separate a platonic friendship from an intimate relationship is attraction...

Aggression is what does it for me. Now, I’m not saying that I want a man that’ll slap my head up against a wall, but rather one who can take charge of a situation; a protector. I like men that are dominant and in control, without being chauvinistic (when it comes to the way he approaches/handles me.) Don’t know why, but that’s my ‘it’ factor… 

What’s yours?
