To My Next Boyfriend....

Dear Next Boyfriend though we have yet to meet (or we have met and I just don't know it) here are somethings that I hope you can be because honestly I do feel I deserve at least this from a significant other.  


Please don't make me wait months before you can afford to take me out.  Actually if this happens I will be smarter this time and I won't actually get in a relationship with you.  


Don't ever ask me to pay your bills I won't.  Be a man handle your business.  


Next boyfriend you should know that I am a very passionate person and once in a while just won't cut it.   


If your friends dis you because they don't particularly like me bc of something I can't control like lets say my blue eyes.  If this bothers you enough that you feel the need to pick friends or your new gf please decide then and there if you are really willing to no longer have those friends or not have me.  I will not ask you to pick.  But if you do decide to pick don't pick me and then down the road when things don't work out as we planned say omg I can't believe I let these friends go for her.  You actively made that choice to let those friends go even though I will question your choice to let your friends go many times.  


Don't change because of me, change because you want to grow and become a better man.  When people comment on the change you have made don't compliment me on helping you to be a better man especially if in the end you are just going to hate me for it.  Don't  write cards to me about it and how this man you have become is so great and you are so grateful for our relationship because I make you better.  Also, once you hate me for this change don't say you were changing to make me happy especially if your failing miserably at making me happy.  Also, by changing to a person that you and I both don't particularly like you just cheated us both out of a relationship. 


Next boyfriend if we get to the point where we live together I will never look at you as cleaning our house, mowing the lawn, etc as a gift to me.  I will look at it as your doing part of your adult responsibilities.  Will I appreciate the help?  Oh heck yes but its not a gift.

Also, dear new boyfriend if for some reason we don't work out please be a man about breaking up with me. Don't check out of our relationship and just stick around until one day you cant take it anymore. Then just up and leave without so much as a goodbye.  Be respectful enough of me and what we had to at least say goodbye.  Not only is running away disrespectful to me its hurtful to everyone who loved you.

Finally, if you do decide to do any of these things I don't ever want to hear that you will always love me because to me it is just another lie that we can add to what our relationship was.  After all not being yourself in hopes of making someone else happy just makes you a big phony.  And ultimately that would make our whole relationship nothing but a lie.  Now, since I will forever question what in our relationship was real or not sometimes when I get to missing my friend not my new x boyfriend but the friend I THOUGHT I had made during the relationship I won't text you as bad as I want to.  I'll see something funny and I'll want to tell my friend about that but actually you may not be my friend and believe it or not I'm not even sure if you truly would find it funny cuz maybe that was all part of the lies.  Actually, come to think of it you might even decide to wish all kinds of horrible crap on me and I guess that's not really a very good friend either.  I will remind myself of this hate when I miss you.

Also, I have one last request for my next boyfriend that I understand I truly have no control over this last request because our relationship will be officially over and you are free to do what you want.  But if you could at least pretend  that our relationship meant something and not talk about another female less the 2 months after we break up I'd appreciate it.  I'm not asking you not to date and whatever but to talk about one person over and over especially saying things you use to say to me that would probably be the nicest thing you could do.   However, like I said before I understand you are now my next ex boyfriend and you no longer have any care or concern for me so this request will more then likely fall on deaf ears.  However, when you do decide to date or whatever it is you want to call it with this new girl it will further make me question our relationship.  I will question things like how long were you checked out of our relationship that you can already be that close to someone else.  Or is it you had already started this new relationship and that was what helped you just walk out.

So next boyfriend I'm not sure when we will meet but I hope you can be the man I need and deserve.  I will try my hardest to be the woman you need and deserve also.
