Writing exercise

Besides appearances, I’d like to have a deep conversation with my partner, so I’m looking for a guy who can do individual thinking and make some special opinions. I found people charming when they have their own passion. Sometimes I’m attracted by philosophical nerds because the abundant spirit is more interesting than rich physical life. New knowledges always impress me. Those kinds who are into video games or luxuries a lot can’t get my eyes completely.
I like a mature soul who knows how to deal with his relationships and networks, and how to control his desires when there is something important have to be done.
Having good sense of humor will make the relationship more colorful, I rather to be with someone talkative than a silence one. Conservative is the worst quality which I can’t bear, I want my boyfriend to be open-minded and understandable. We can talk about many kinds of subjects, I don’t even mind to talk about his passed romances or his sex life before me. Relationship for me is not only “for living”(which Chinese always like to say), it’s must be fun and full of sparkles, no need to be romantic but the spirits should be grow together.
In shorts, I like a wise man, not just a smart guy.
