...dah selamat dah...

the countdown is finally over, alhamdulillah. dah selamat dah. terima kasih pada semua yang mendoakan kelancaran urusan, syukur.

tanggal 040409 telah selamatlah majlis merisik dan pertunangan anak gadis En. Alias Muda bertempat di kediaman beliau di Kuala Terengganu. rombongan pihak lelaki dari Johor dan Kuala Lumpur seramai lebih kurang 30 orang sampai di perkarangan rumah pihak perempuan sekitar jam 1130 pagi sabtu itu. disambut beriringan hujan renyai-renyai. kata orang hujan rahmat gitu. hm, begitu meriah dan happeningnya majlis dilangsungkan dengan kehadiran pak imam dari puchong (selaku wakil pihak lelaki) dengan lawak jenakanya. tak kering gusi kami semua. asyik gelak je..

pagi tu, rombongan disertai dengan 7 dulang hantaran termasuk cincin tanda merisik/bertunang, berbalas dengan 9 dulang hadiah daripada pihak tuan rumah. majlis dimulai dengan kata aluan daripada cikgu harun (wakil pihak perempuan) mengalukan kehadiran rombongan dari selatan tanahair. diselangseli dengan jenaka pak imam. waduhs.. dan diteruskan dengan penerimaan daripada pihak keluarga perempuan dan di-seal-kan dengan acara menyarung cincin oleh bonda si jejaka ke jari manis si gadis. dengan ini, termeterai janji untuk hidup bersama suatu hari nanti. insyaAllah.


terima kasih atas kesudian semua tetamu bertandang ke rumah kami. andai ada kekurangan haraplah dimaafkan. sudilah kiranya bertandang lagi. ;)

hm, ni nak start countdown baru lak ni. insyaAllah akhir tahun ni ye. doa2kan lah kami selamat ke jinjang pelamin. amin..

tabah tabah....

sekarang dah terasa tekanannya. ada sahaja yang tak kena. but still boleh handle lagi la. maybe ini baru sedikit, tapi.. perlu berhati-hati. boleh ke kitorang hadapi dengan tenang..?

Ya Tuhan, mudahkan kami menangani segala ujian dan cabaran-Mu. Terangkan lah hati kami dan tunjukkanlah kami jalan penyelesaian.. AMIN.

beberapa hari lagi ni..

pejam celik, celik pejam... ada 7 hari lagi. menanti. insyaAllah. semoga selamat semuanya.
terima kasih atas doa kalian. :)

Ku membiusku dengan cinta
Cinta yang malu kukatakan
Kau membiusku dengan cinta
Sampai aku tak bisa berkata

Kau membius sampai aku jadi sering melamun
Memikirkan kita bisakah bersama

Aku dibius cinta
Cintamu yang tak ada tandingnya
Namun mungkin tak bisa
Entah ku tak tahu…

Kita yang malu hati untuk mengakui saling cinta
Usaha sekeras hati bersama selamanya
Aku dibius cinta…

..baby just say 'Yes'..

Juliet : of course I'll say 'Yes'.... ;)

-----------------#######--------------------

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said...

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes.."

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said...

"Marry me Juliet,
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes..."

Kalaulah pergi ke Kuala Pilah
Singgah sebentar di Pekan Dangi
Kalau di hati rasa gelisah
Ingatlah aku ada di sini

Kalaulah pergi ke Kota Bahru
Singgah sebentar Kuala Terengganu
Biarlah aku jadi temanmu
Mengubat hati yang sedang rindu

Rambu Ba Rambu Ramba
Oh berdebar aku rasa
Apabila bertentang mata
Tak kusangka terjatuh cinta

Rambu Ba Rambu Ramba
Ada cinta dalam dada
Sepanjang masa engkau kusayang
Siang malam ku terbayang

Rambu Rambu Ramba
Terbayang di mata
Rambu Rambu Ramba
Hanya engkau kucinta... ;)

the biggest smile on their faces :))

sesekali nak join aktiviti amal pun okey jugak kan. ye la, nk tambah pengalaman. so, i've decided to follow a charity trip to Ipoh yesterday, organized by SYN. the place's called Yayasan Latihan Insan Istimewa Ipoh (YALIP). Bersemangat ni, macam2 donation kami bawa : pakaian, bahan makanan, peralatan mengecat (yup, kami pun mengecat jugak kat sana..). perjalanan ke Ipoh mengambil masa selama lebih kurang 2 jam.

sesampainya kami di sana, well, ingatkan proper child care center, rupanya hanyalah sebuah rumah teres setingkat lot tepi. suasananya agak gloomy dan suram je. ditambah pulak dengan cuaca panas terik masa tu. kami seramai 50-60 orang berkumpul di perkarangan kawasan care center tersebut dan melihat sediri keadaan penghuni di YALIP. rata-rata penghuninya terdiri daripada golongan 'istimewa' start dari kanak-kanak 7 tahun sehingga veteran berumur 50 tahun. ada yang berpenyakit autism, lemah daya ingatan. kemampuan utk berfikir sgt rendah. perangai mcm baby pun ada eventho dh dewasa.

mula-mula saya agak 'blur' dan tertanya, mcm mana lah diorang ni boleh ada kat sini. family diorang tak ambil kisah ke?? setelah diberi penerangan ringkas oleh penjaga di situ, penghuni rumah ini dihantar oleh keluarga masing2 atas sebab tidak mampu menjaga mereka lagi. ada juga yang ibubapanya telah meninggal dunia dan tiada saudara mara lain yang sanggup menjaga anak2 istimewa ini, lalu dihantar ke center tersebut. apabila ditanya lagi, apakah kaum keluarga penghuni di situ datang melawat mereka, hm, ada yang sekadar datang dan memberi wang belanja, ada juga yang tidak langsung. kesian sungguh... apabila saya menyapa beberapa penghuni yg merupakan warga veteran, diorang agak 'blur' dan hanya melihat saja. saya sendiri pun tak reti nak handle mereka ini, apa yang saya mampu hanya cakap 'hello' dan tersenyum. ada juga anak ini menunjukkan aksi nkkan perhatian, minta didukung etc. terharu saya melihatnya. tak sampai hati.. kesian sgt kat diorang ni. ada yang terpele'ot je duk atas kusi rehat tu, berbaring kepala di bawah kaki di atas. takleh bergerak pun. nnt kang kalau dialih2 kan takut dia sakit ke apa ke. diorang ni fragile sgt. kesian.. ada tu, terkencing dlm seluar pun ada, kesian sgt. ye la, tak leh nk urus diri sendiri. lagila sedih.. namun begitu ada juga beberapa orang yg masih boleh uruskan diri sendiri, pakai baju, mandi, gi toilet sume sendiri. cuma ada tu kita pun tak paham apa yang diorang cakapkan.

kami semua ditugaskan untuk mengecat dinding setiap bilik di center tersebut. wah, byk jugak bilik yg nk dicat ni, bilik tidurnya, bilik airnya.. ada jugak beberapa bilik dh mcm jail dah, ada katil dan toilet seat dan, takde pintu! namun begitu, saya lihat care center ni takde la horror/daif sgt. ada juga pihak yang menyumbangkan beberapa alatan senaman untuk anak2 ini, di samping pampers, toiletries, tilam. dan saya lihat center ni bersih sgt. lantainya takde habuk pun. cuma mereka ini kekurangan dari segi kewangan. nk bayar bill, nk beli beras n makanan harian etc.

time penghuni dihiburkan oleh rakan2 SYN

dah siap cat, basuh2 sume, kitorang berehat sambil menghiburkan penghuni di situ. amboi.. suka sgt tgk kitorang menyanyi, ada yang menari bersama pun ada. saya perhatikan, bukannya diorang minta luxury sgt pun, cukuplah sekadar keselesaan dan yang utama sekali, perhatian dan rasa kasih sayang. diorang ni, cukup suka kalau ada orang datang melawat mereka. menyanyi, menari.. sebab diorang ni sunyi sgt2. mcm, diorang ni dlm alam yang berbeza. masa sampai tu, tgk kitorang mcm alien pun ada. huhuhu.. masa nk last2 tu, bila kami dh lama kat situ, baru lah diorang ni boleh fit in. enjoy n berhibur dgn kami. siap ambil2 gambar lagi. seronok sgt diorang tu. kita pun seronok gak kan.. di akhir lawatan kami, ada ceremony kecil di mana wakil SYN memberi mock cheque pada penjaga center tersebut. walaupun takde la sumbangan wang berpuluh ribu, tapi at least kami buat yang seikhlas dan semampu yang mungkin.

we don't experience this type of feeling everyday. lain tau rasanya. time nak balik KL tu, nampaknya diorang cam sedih je. kitorang pun rasa sayu je nk meninggalkan center tu. part terharu sekali bila tgk diorang melambai2, beriya2 sgt. daripada situ kita tahulah yang diorang ni hargai kehadiran kami. masa kat dalam bus tu, kami berkongsi pandangan dan pengalaman masing2. ada yang insaf, sedih, seronok, terharu.. sampai ada yang menangis pun ada.

all in all, for me, i don't really feel sad or anything. it's just i am proud of myself and everybody since we have contributed to those who are really in-need. dari segi kewangan maybe tak mampu nk beri banyak la kan, tapi yang paling penting, bak kata rakan saya sorang ni, we put the biggest smiles on their faces. well, sedih n sayu tu ada gak actually. sedih sebab mengenangkan keadaan diorang kat situ dan macam mana mereka lalui hari2 mereka dengan berkeadaan yang tak sempurna itu.

dan berbalik pada diri sendiri, kita fikirlah dan renungkan apa sebenarnya tujuan kita di muka bumi ini : sebagai pelindung dan tidak berbuat kerosakan di muka bumi. dan untuk memberi peluang kepada golongan yang lebih memerlukan untuk meringankan bebanan mereka. tapi dengan syarat, hati biarlah ikhlas dan bukan tujuan untuk menunjuk2. setiap pekerjaan mestilah dilakukan sehingga selesai. barulah hati puas.. betul tak..? ;)

inilah pengalaman pertama saya dlm buat kerja2 amal sebegini. seronok sgt. dengar cite lepas ni nk melawat rumah anak-anak yatim pulak. siapa nak ikut?? JOM!!

juaranya ialah.... ;)

Tiap kerlipan mata tiap nadi
Tiap hembusan nafasku
Sentiasa ku rasa kehadiranmu di dalam mindaku

Tak pernah ku sangsi
Ragu-ragu tiap patah bicaramu
Dan dapat ku rasa keyakinan kian makin nyata

Kuatnya sungguh pengaruh kasih kita pertaruh
Romantis mu buat ku terharu
Sesungguhnya harus kau tahu

Sejak pencalonan baru
Kau melonjak ke puncak

Kegemaranku tak jemu
Juara carta jiwaku

Takkan goyah
Kedudukan tak berubah
Kau kekal nombor satu
Juara carta jiwaku

Jika disamakan kisah cinta kita dengan perumpamaan
Aku bagai gurun dahaga menagih kehadiranmu hujan
Dah pernah ku rasa segala pahit manis dalam
pengkongsian sukma
Namun masih rela ku menepuh lagi asal kau
ganjarannya

Dan terbayang naluri…kita bersama nanti
Sehingga nyawa ku berakhir
Takkan ku biar kau tersingkir

Yeah…sekukuh mana cinta?
Ku rasa kau tahu ...

thoughts for today..

it's about learning to love the person we found.
not to love the person whom we want to love.
because he or she may not be a perfect person.

love them for who they are now, not for who they were or who they wish to be.

then, this is what the quote "love someone for better or for worse" means. we accept them as they are. not expecting anything in return.

we must learn to give more than to receive from one another. we must learn to appreciate every littlest thing the other person did for us, not to mention to appreciate all the big favors they did for us.

we must learn to greet him/her nicely everytime. we must love and touch them everyday eventhough the person have hurt us. it may be hard to do, but we have to do it anyway...

with that simple tips, insyaAllah, we shall have our love till..
.

... forever :)

p/s: sayang.. thank you for everything.. and for accepting me for who i am now..

commit-or-not-to-commit checklist update..

Referring to my previous post, i think i can update the man's requirement before he can commit to a woman (based on my observation.. hehe)..

REQUIREMENT #1:
He needs to be READY to commit. Remember, it's about WHEN, not WHO.

REQUIREMENT #2:
Having a woman who enjoys and admires his lust for life, not condemns him for it.

REQUIREMENT #3:
His aims and desires must be at least basically the same as yours.

REQUIREMENT #4:
He knows that you - like everyone else - have flaws, but loves you anyway.



hmmmm..... Requirement #3 is still in process of observation and action. heheheh.. ;)

jalan-jalan cari nasi minyak..

well, there you go. another wedding reception invitation. this time, located in Bukit Rambai, Melaka. never been there before eventho i have been in Melaka for 4+ years. maklumlah, jarang berjalan. asyik2 MP, JJ, Kotamas (skang dh nama lain, lupe lak...), plaza hang tuah. that's it. i am done. heh..

anyway, Shah Fitri and wifey invited me to his wedding on Nov 30th. congratulations!!!

and this is my first 'trip' with my D. seronok gi jenjalan ni, especially with someone we care about (other than family laaa..) all in all, we had fun and we had the change to spend some quality time together. i mean, this is more meaningful. hehe.. and surprisingly.. we found a kampung somewhere near the reception, with the name 'Kampung Setulang Daing'. waaaaa.. apa lagi, ade sorang tu kembang kuncup la. Jom kita tgk aksi orang tu..

this is my favorite shot :)

sukanya dia.. mmuah ;)

lepas wedding tu, kami ronda2 di kota melaka dan singgah di MP dan Jusco Ayer Keroh. we had fun, we went down the memory lane whereby we told each other stories and we showed the places we've been to. so nice. but then we were young and naive.

we had a nice dinner at Jusco, and then we went back to KL by 930pm. all in all, we had a great time together. i never felt like this. he makes me so happy and insyaAllah, we hope for the best.

jangan ada dusta

Ketika pertama kujumpa denganmu
Bukankah pernah kutanyakan padamu kasih
Takkan kecewakah kau pada diriku
Takkan menyesalkah kau hidup denganku kasih

Memang kau bukan yang pertama bagiku
Pernah satu hati mengisi hidupku dulu
Dan kini semua kau katakan padaku
Jangan ada dusta di antara kita kasih

Semua terserah padamu aku begini adanya
Kuhormati keputusanmu, apapun yang akan
Kau katakan, sebelum terlanjur kita jauh
Melangkah, kau katakan saja..

[Broery Marantika & Dewi Yull - Jangan Ada Dusta Antara Kita]

my prayer..

Allah Yang Maha Pemurah, Segala puji bagiMu, Engkau telah menciptakan dia dan mempertemukan hamba-Mu dengannya.
Terimakasih untuk saat-saat indah yang boleh kami nikmati bersama.
Terimakasih untuk setiap pertemuan yang boleh kami lalui bersama.
Terimakasih untuk setiap saat-saat yang lalu.
Hamba-Mu datang bersujud dihadapan-Mu,
Sucikan hati hamba-Mu yaa Allah, sehingga dapat melaksanakan kehendak dan rencana-Mu

Yaa Allah, jika hamba-Mu bukan pemilik tulang rusuknya,
janganlah biarkan hamba-Mu merindukan kehadirannya.
Janganlah biarkan hamba-Mu melabuhkan hati hamba-Mu di hatinya.
Kikislah pesonanya dari pelupuk mata hamba-Mu
dan usirlah dia dari relung hati hamba-Mu.
Gantilah damba kerinduan dan cinta yang bersemayam di dada ini dengan kasih kepada-Mu yang tulus dan murni.
Tolonglah hamba-Mu agar dapat mengasihinya sebagai sahabat

Tetapi jika Kau ciptakan dia untuk hamba-Mu, yaa Allah,
tolong satukan hati kami.
Bantulah hamba-Mu untuk mencintai, mengerti dan menerima dia seutuhnya.
Berikan hamba-Mu kesabaran, ketekunan, dan kesungguhan untuk memenangkan hatinya.
Urapilah dia agar dia juga mencintai, mengerti dan mau menerima hamba-Mu
dengan segala kelebihan dan kekurangan hamba-Mu sebagaimana yang telah Kau ciptakan.
Yakinkanlah dia bahwa hamba-Mu sungguh-sungguh mencintai dan rela membagi suka dan duka hamba-Mu dengan dia.

Yaa Allah Maha Pengasih, dengarlah doa hamba-Mu ini.
Lepaskanlah hamba-Mu dari keraguan ini menurut kasih dan kehendak-Mu.
Allah Yang Maha Kekal, hamba-Mu tahu Engkau senantiasa memberikan yang terbaik buat hamba-Mu.
Luka dan keraguan yang hamba-Mu alami pasti ada hikmahnya.
Perasaan kasih ini mengajar hamba-Mu untuk hidup makin dekat pada-Mu, untuk lebih peka terhadap suara-Mu yang membimbing hamba-Mu menuju terang-Mu.
Ajarlah hamba-Mu untuk tetap setia dan sabar menanti tibanya waktu yang telah Engkau tentukan.
Jadilah kehendak-Mu dan bukan kehendak hamba-Mu yang jadi dalam setiap bahagian hidup hamba-Mu, yaa Allah.

to see the real you..

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much and I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much and I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
and I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend,
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much and I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

[Dan Hill, Sometimes When We Touch]

jom pekena roti parata..

i was out to KL that night. stayback for an important meeting. well, tentatively i planning to excuse myself by 10pm, but the meeting was dragging until 1040pm. o dear.. i thought.

then by 1045pm i texted him, sounded something like "D, i dh abih meeting. D kat mana tu?".
he replied "D kat umah, umah pelangi d'sara. heheh..".

O.M.G!!

i terus jumped up dan terus drive pulang ke damansara. alhamdulillah, kereta tak banyak masa tu dan jalan agak lengang. plus, traffic lights sume memberi lampu hijau, lebih memudahkan dan mempercepatkan perjalanan saya. selalunya drive dari KL-damansara amik masa lebih kurang 30 minit, tapi malam tu, i drive dlm masa 20minit. boleh dikatakan pecut gakla. keluar around 11pm, sampai rumah 1120pm. tapi seingat i byk jugakla adegan cilok mencilok. huhuhu... D pesan, suh bawak kete slow2, jgn nk cepat je. dia boleh tunggu katanya.

actually, dia dh berada di umah pelangi for more than half an hour. giloss.. mana i tak pecut..! kesian dia tunggu lama2.

so, there we were, we spent time for about a few hours around my neighborhood. D ajak makan roti parata (roti canai lerr) kat Kayu Nasi Kandar Sunway Damansara...

Ni la roti canai yg dipesan.. utk 'D' sorang lak tu. huhu.. sekali makan 2 keping tuhhh..

berselera sungguh orang tu. hihi.. ;)

we were out for a few hours. as usual.. when the time comes for him to leave, it was REALLY difficult to let him go, everytime we are together. uhuhuhu...

really miss him~! huhu..

whops..

ade orang tu kata, suka giler dengar In Team ni. asyik diulang2 berkali-kali. tak puas katanya.
jom tgk apa yang best sgt tu. hikhikhik..

tak perlu aku ragui
sucinya cinta yang kau beri
kita saling kasih mengasihi
dengan setulus hati

ayah ibu merestui
menyarung cincin di jari
dengan rahmat dari Ilahi
cinta kita pun bersemi

sebelum diijabkabulkan
syariat tetap membataskan
pelajari ilmu rumahtangga
agar kita lebih bersedia
menuju hari yang bahgia

kau tahu ku merinduimu
ku tahu kau menyintaiku, oh kasih
bersabarlah sayang
saat indah kan menjelma jua

kita akan disatukan
dengan ikatan pernikahan, oh kasih
di sana kita bina
tugu cinta mahligai bahagia

semoga cinta kita
di dalam redha Ilahi
berdoalah selalu
moga jodoh berpanjangan..

[In Team, Kasih Kekasih]

[mcDonald Mutiara Damansara, 2230]

always yours..

mungkin ini yang dia mahu katakan pada saya.. harap-harapnya begitulah.

-------####--------

hapus air matamu
aku tak ingin kau menangis lagi sayang
yakinkan hati diantara resahmu
diriku takkan memilih meninggalkanmu

sekian waktu bersama
tak mudah tuk menepis semua kenyataan

kita berbeda jalani keyakinan
tapi kau yang kuinginkan dari segalanya

di setiap rinduku hanya memanggilmu
kuyakin kau pun mengerti
ku tak ingin menanggalkan hati

sayangku dengarkan aku
tak mungkin ku melepasmu
kan kupertahankan kau cintaku
dan semua air matamu yang berarti di hidupku selalu

sayangku dengarkan aku
tak mungkin ku melepasmu
bawalah cintaku bersamamu
karena ku tetap milikmu selamanya dan abadi selalu..

[Dygta - Tetap Milikmu]

cound not ask for more

alhamdulillah.. :)
hope for the best. aminn....

-----######------

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me

These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true

And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than the love you give me
'Coz it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

teman wanita idaman :)

Five (5) 'Great-Girlfriend-Material' Characteristics:-

Trait #1: You strike the balance between appreciative and independent.

The trick is to strike a happy balance. You want to allow him to indulge his masculine desire to protect, provide, and give pleasure, but without making him feel like you're taking him for granted.

Rules of thumb : appreciate, enjoy, but NEVER expect. And make sure he knows it.

Trait #2: You're happy to let him have his own life

men need to know that, should things between you ever reach that kind of level, that you'll still be OK with him having interests and friends of his own. He needs to know that he won't need to account for his every move, or apologize to you for having a late night out every so often.

The trick to maintaining a happy status quo? It's called Live and Let Live. Men will value a partner who WANTS to hang out with them, but doesn't NEED them to be around - someone who enjoys their company when they're around, and is happy to get on with her own life when they're not.

So be affectionate, by all means - just don't translate "affection" into "neediness".

Trait #3: You Keep Yourself Together - But Don't Take It Too Far

The ideal girlfriend will keep herself looking tidy and together (because SHE wants to, not because HE wants her to) but won't need an exhaustive 2-hour primping routine just to go grab brunch together.

Trait #4 You Don't Load Him Down With Your Insecurities

We all have our low moments, when all we want is to be hugged and told that everything's going to be OK. But you have to give it time. You can't overload the poor bloke with too much responsibility, too early on - you want him to feel like a boyfriend, not a babysitter!

It's hard to know where to draw the line - you want to be able to trust this person with your true feelings, but you don't want to actually drive him away. if you're interested in scoring "great girlfriend" points, you'll do things that show how confident and secure you are in yourself - not things that showcase your insecurities.

Remember, how we see ourselves sets the tone for how others see us.

Trait #5: He is not your project (and you both know it)

Instead of trying to fix him, show him how supportive you're likely to be as a long-term girlfriend. Make him feel GOOD about himself. Show him how you can be an asset to his self-esteem, social status, and life. If he shows you a project he's working on, reads you some of the novel he's writing in his spare time, or lets you take a peek at his amateur cartoon strips, be enthusiastic in your praise and support of his efforts.

And save your "suggestions" on his eating habits, wardrobe, and alcoholic excesses ... do you want to be the fun-loving companion that he loves to spend time with, or the authoritarian mother-figure who sparks irritation and resentment?

Men get enough competition from their male friends that they appreciate support from you all the more. Showing that you're the kind of lady who'll make him feel good about himself will show him that you're likely to be a supportive long-term girlfriend, too.
