There's probably more than five ways.
But, 5 is the prompt, and that's what we're sticking to! I'm going to give full disclosure now -- "5 Ways to Win My Heart" is not to encourage people to try and actually win my heart. Aylin is not available for that!
Besides, she belongs to Chise~! Chuu!
This is more along the lines of "5 Ways to Make Me Like You Lots" or "5 Ways to Make Me Respect the Heck Out of You!". Even if a person has just one of the traits listed below, I'm happy to have met them. Every person, even if we're acquaintances, affects my life in some small way. If someone has all five, then they'll have an Aylin attached to them for the rest of their lives.
1. Be kind to other human beings. If you're the kind of person who treats every new face they meet with the same amount of respect, I have to say, you're golden. I'm a huge advocate against bullying or intolerance of any kind. If you're the same way, I like you by default.
2. An open mind. This may kind of tie in with my first point, but if you're the kind of person who is open and accepting of anything that is out of their own "norm", I salute you. I enjoy people who are willing to try new things, who aren't afraid of expanding their horizons. It makes for an adventurous life, and I like to have fun.
3. Have an incredible mind. I love beautiful brains, and I find beauty in intelligence and creativity. I like to think, so challenge me. Make me contemplate and have deep conversations with me. I'm an introvert, and by nature, I prefer provoking conversation as opposed to small talk.
4. Have a purpose. I don't care if you're not in school and I don't care if you don't have a job right now. We all get stuck in ruts, or a little lost along the way, but as long as you're actually trying at life and you have causes to believe in, you're going to get somewhere. Have drive and passion! Give effort. Nothing is more attractive than someone with ambitions.
5. Positivity. There's always something to be thankful for, and negativity is poisonous. Have a good attitude, regardless of the walk of life you come from. Attitude takes you places, and whether you have a good or a bad one makes a huge difference. I love people who are able to choose positivity in a situation where they can be negative. To me, a positive outlook on life is strength.
