1. Smile at me. Yes, yes, I'm aware of how incredibly desperate that sounds. Seriously though, if I'm walking down the street and I make eye contact with a guy and we exchange smiles, I'll be half in love with him buy the time he turns the corner. I don't know what it is, but a smile will stop me dead in my tracks.

2. Listen to my rants/understand my anxiety. I'm a very anxious person, and that's okay. Well, no, it's not okay, and I really should work on it, but I need someone who will still say "it's okay" even after I've already apologized for the same miniscule act fifty times that day. Also, if I feel passionate about something, I will talk about it FOREVER. All you have to do is grunt and throw in a "yeah" every once in a while. It'll be fine.

3. Tell me to get over myself. As aforementioned, I am anxiety prone and I tend to dwell on things that I did or that happened to me. Tell me to get over myself, and you'll win my heart. I need someone to remind me that life is bigger than me, and that there are other people out there who I can help. That'll really win my heart.

4. Buy me coffee. Whenever my dad stops to buy himself a coffee, he always orders one for my mom, and vice versa. I think that's nice.

5. Leave me the hell alone (sometimes). I've got s*** to do, so I need a dude who's also got s*** to do. Side rant: I hate when girls post things like "When I push you away, pull me closer" or the "When I run away, chase after me." No. Definitely do not do that. If I walk away or push you away, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, chase after me or pull me closer. Honestly, I cannot deal with your annoying ass right now, and I need my space. Back off, buddy! A dude who can respect my "me time" is definitely going to win my heart.

So, there you have it: Five Ways to Win My Heart. I probably could've included things like Don't Be A Serial Killer or Always Brush Your Teeth. I could've even gone with the tried-but-true Buy Me Some Damn Roses, but I figured these were a given.
